Men's half-shoes can be suitable for a nursing interview, but traditional loafers are always a sure bet for a conservative field like nursing.

Whichever you choose, make sure they're professional appearing. Here are a few tips to ensure they are suitable:

  • Clean and polished. Make sure the shoes are clean and well-polished.
  • Conservative style. Choose a conservative style in a neutral color, such as black or brown.
  • Comfort. Ensure they are comfortable, as you may need to walk around during the interview process.
  • Matching attire. Coordinate your shoes with your overall outfit for a cohesive and professional appearance.

Dressing professionally helps create an excellent first impression, so attention to these details is essential.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
