Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

To the smokers I work with, please do yourselves and patients a favor by brushing your teeth after smoking. the smell of smoke makes me gag, and I feel sorry for your already nauseated patients.

To the supervisor that baths in his cologne... don't. it smells horrible.

To the nurse with the huge blond hair. it looks like a bomb was set off in your hair. did you use a whole bottle of stiff on it? and you may want to wear better fitting scrubs, I'm curvy as well, but I don't like to show my curves at work.

Yes, I do like to wear make up and manicured nails( no chipping, or fakes nails) to work everyday. not only does it make me feel good but patients notice as well. looks are first impressions, and I like to make a good one.

i absolutely go ballistic when i hear/see "exact same." if it's the same, then using exact is redundant.

In my opinion tattoos r trashy, unprofessional, and not feminine at all......can't stand females with sleeves, animals, crazy stuff eww. A butterfly, a flower would be a lil more feminine.:)

That's just wrong. What if I'm not a frilly little butterfly? I don't WANT a flower tattoo!

Do you also think all women should wear pink? Is it wrong that I have a motorcycle?

Then, obviously, you're a man. Make-up and butterflies are what make you a woman...haven't you been paying attention?

And people think it's only men who perpetuate sexism against women....

Et tu, HealthStar.

I wear makeup, but by the end of a 12 hour night, it's all worn off. But by the end of the shift, I really don't care what I look like, smell like, etc, I just want to go home and get in my bed.

Same is a relative term.

A Bard PICC line is the same thing as a Bard midline in terms of products. They are not the exact same thing when viewed in the context of placement.

"They are the same catheter, they are Bard brand catheters."

"But are they the exact same thing?"

"No, one is a PICC line and one is a midline"

And here I was thinking what was in my pants mattered more than the color of my shirt.

Which is why I don't wear make-up to work. If I don't have time to take a pee, I certainly don't have time to touch up my make-up. I look worse at the end of a 12 hour shift when I try to wear make-up than I do with none.

Sorry for getting on-topic, carry on!

Oops... I ended a sentence with a preposition :-\
