NP with a beard?!?!

Published

I am currently in school working on my MSN and FNP, I have a pretty decent 3 month beard right now; planning to make it a 6 month beard soon. I am wondering if anyone else has a good beard and if it has presented any professional problems? So far as an RN the only negative comments I have gotten are from coworkers, patients all interact great with me. Anyway, it is shaped and clean. I just wanted some opinions and wanted to break the monotony with an off the wall question. Thanks!

logank brings up a valid issue with regard to lip reading. My husband occasionally has students who rely almost exclusively on being able to read their professor's lips in order to succeed at all in their studies. When he has such a student, he trims his moustache way down and has his beard professionally trimmed weekly instead of once or twice a month. His beard has a good bit of red in it and his beard is about half grey and the greys are kinky and flyaway. A good trim makes all the difference! I cut his hair and did most beard trims with a barber visit quarterly until he became this grey.:p

My cardiologist has a beard but I think it's because of a religion or something like that. Doesn't bother me cause I like men with facial hair.
