I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

Published

Something happened to me at Wednesday that i thought i would never hear.

I was told by my team leader that bouncing breasts are very inappropriate in the workplace.

There had been several complains on me for a long time (she claims).

And that i from now on, always had to use a bra.

Was she right to correct me like that, should i complain on her ?

I'm thinking bras are ALWAYS appropriate in the professional setting. I even know some men that should use them!!:lol2:

I like this one most!!! That you even know some men that should use bras too!!! LOL!! Ridiculous! A bra is a must at work, no question about it and it adds life to the wearer too!! Please wear them at all costs!:up:

We have enough problems in nursing with unprofessional conduct. We don't need this. If I were your manager you would have been sent home, not to return until you are dressed properly. Don't you have a dress code?

Put a bra on. Do you speak the way you write? Aren't you concerned about projecting a good image of Nursing in this time of shortage? Nurses will never get their just rewards if they are braless bumbling idiots. You work in a hospital, not at Hooter's.

As a patient, I don't want my nurse's floppy tits sticking me in the face. I would be too busy staring at her nipples to concentrate on anything of value she may have to say to me. Not because I'm a pervert, but because being braless at work is absurd, uncouth, and unprofessional.

All what I have to say is that on my first day of nursing school, the nursing director said "I don't want to see the 3 Bs ever, Boobs, Butts and Bellys", so please wear something or just save some money and go to Brazil and get a boob reduction or something, just do something!!!:bugeyes::bowingpur:uhoh21:

I absolutely do not want to criticize you and/or chastise with harsh comments. It is important to me that you understand this. Since the nursing scrubs have a rather deep neck line wouldn't you be flashing your breasts to your clients if you wear the scrub with nothing under it? If you decide to complain about your supervisor because she called your attention to the need of wearing a bra on the job, what would it be your complaint based on? Discrimination? I am sure in the employee manual given to you at the time you were hired, there is a section on dress code, perhaps you need to review the section so it guides you to decide what you may wear and what you may not on the job. In your cause was that you omitted to wear a bra which is part of the underclothing you must wear in order to be in compliance with your employment's dress code. Do you follow me?

Thank you for sharing your experience, feliz3

I must agree with you, I am so curious to know, in which nursing school this girl graduated from, because I did had lots of friends in nursing that seemed like they were in lululand!! but by the time nursing school was done these people have learned lessons for life!! I just can't imagine this nurse in my hospital, and I work in a small little hospital in Central Florida, and I have seen all kinds of things but not from a nurse!! If you can call her a nurse. :confused::nono:
