Chest hair

Published

I am a student nurse with an assignment to post a question online, so this one popped into mind...

The school I attend requires male students to cover their chest hair with an undershirt if their scrub top allows any hair to be shown. I also have a friend whom is an RN that allows his massive amounts of chest hair to shown and well known.

Should males be required in practice to cover their chest hair with an undershirt?

I know this is may seem silly, but as a male SN I am very curious to see some opinions on the matter. Thank you

I have always worn crew necks under my scrubs to keep it professional. I wiish I could say the same about some of my female co-workers as I am not really all that comfortable with some of the cleavage women display these days.

As a dude with a hairy chest I'm glad our hospital doesnt impose such ridculous dress codes on us - especially in our climate!

I'm not going to wear an extra shirt just because I'm hairy! Not my fault I was blessed lol

Having said that - where I work also doesn't mind piercings or make me cover up visible parts of my tattoos!
