Nurse Practitioners are at the forefront of healthcare reform. Many patients only contact with a healthcare professional will be with a Nurse Practitioner.
My question is this: Do you cringe when you see a nurse practitioner dressed inappropriately for the professional setting?
Tell us about a personal experience that you have had with a nurse-practitioner who did not dress appropriately for their setting.
Examples would be a male nurse practitioner who wore skinny jeans and a muscle shirt, or perhaps a female that wore yoga pants and high-heel boots.
As far as female NPs, it is always knee-high boots with three-inch heels, yoga pants etc.
They looked like they stepped off of the cover of a fashion magazine. Beautiful.....yes. Appropriate in the professional environment......my opinion is "No".
I have never seen a male NP for some reason.
I do not really care about doctors.
I'm not seeing the problem with any of the attire you are describing. You have a problem with NPs who dress up enough that they could be on the cover of a fashion magazine? I'm not following why. I don't care what NPs are wearing. I care that they are competent practitioners.

I have no problem with the NPs. Just the inappropriate attire.
Not to go off on a tangent, but how do you judge a Nurse Practitioner as competent?
