Dresses???

I wear them as a 21 year old RN, who else does???

I wear them most of the time, both at work and home. When I worked in the hospitals or LTCs I usually wore white skirts, a tucked in (pocketless) scrub top and a lab or scrub jacket. They never crawl, bind or try to fall down. I've learned some amazing tricks to stay warm in the winter.

I think I quit wearing dresses at work when I read that book "House of God."

We get the choice. The pantsuits aren't bad, but the white dresses are so old fashioned.

well....I wear them only every other weekend. course that is the lowcut plunging neckline slit up the side dress. course I look like Homer Simpson in his Mumu.

Snap! Nurses are the same the world over after all! I do find that stockings pull all the hairs on my legs against the grain though,.....any advice, ladies?

Dresses??? Not in this lifetime- Don't tell anyone but my chubby thighs tend to rub together and it feels quite awful after more than 5 or so hours.

I am still a student, but I have a dress uniform that I wear sometimes. I like wearing dresses and on some days pants... just depends on the day, I suppose!:)

You would probaly think I am shallow but for a long time I wouldn't even consider the nursing profession because of those ugly white dresses. When I saw nurses were wearing different types of scrubs adding variety I rethought my career and now I work in a NICU unit. Even with current TV shows with exception or ER they still depict nurses as wearing pure white dresses being subserviant to MDs Tsk Tsk!

Advice to donmurray--shave your legs darlin'--unless of course your religion forgids it, then maybe it's a S&M thang!!

I not sure I own a dress anymore--oh yes, one for funerals.

During my first couple of years of nursing I did wear the cute dresses. However, climbing into beds for codes cured that fashion statement. Flashed more than the knees a couple of times, know what I mean....
