Should a male nurse wearing a scrub top and has chest hair be required to wear a T shirt underneath in order to cover up the chest hair?

Yeah, I've got a hairy chest. And an ugly face. Should I wear a mask over my face to aesthetically please some people?

:lol2: :msk:

why would chest hair bother me?

it's much more professional than seeing a female's cleavage in a scrub top.

I can make a guess on "whale-tail"- what's a "tramp-stamp"?

Tramp stamp is a tat on the low back right above the butt......

Whale tail?????

yup...it's when someone bends over, and you see the triangle of thong fabric stick up over the back of their waistband.... I know this A: because I have a lot of sisters, B: Nurses do a lot of bending over.

Thanks Steve -

I actually told one nurse to go buy new scrubs because I did NOT appreciate knowing that she was wearing a purple Victoria's secret thong! She did a back check before coming into work after that.

That nurse referred to it as a "T-Bone Steak" though....
