Badge picture help!

Published

Ok....this may be the most random question on here but here it goes:

im taking my ID badge picture on Wednesday and just out of curiousity, what kind of a top should I wear? This may sound so stupid but it's my first official healthcare job so I don't want to wear like a regular shirt or something & look like an idiot if that's not ok.

Whats appropriate? Thanks in advance y'all :)

It will barely show (if at all), so don't put too much thought into it. Just don't dress like you're going to a club. I make it a point to be in business casual when I do anything work-related ...even just filling out paperwork or getting a PPD test read.

If it's not a t-shirt or something super low-cut, it should be fine.

My badge is always flipping itself backwards inadvertently so it doesn't show anyways. No one hardly looks at it. As previous poster said just look professional, but the picture is SO small that it won't be noticed. I think what's really going on is that you're SUPER excited for this job! And that is wonderful. Keep up the enthusiasm and energy :)

I work a Ceil blue scrub top (I hate that color) if my first official photo ID badge. Second one I work Galaxy Blue. Wear what you feel most comfortable in. They only worry about your face.

My ID badge picture is just my head. You can't see what I'm wearing at all.

It's like a driver's license picture. Concentrate more on your hair, makeup, and not looking hung over.
