Hi. I'm doing seminar paper. And I would like to have your opinion, about how a nurse should be dressed. But always according to a good nursing source .

It sounds like you need good references, not opinions, unless I am misunderstanding. One suggestion: On a journal search tool like Medline, look for studies about dress and infection control. Example: In the specialty where I work (neonatal intensive care), we have to be careful infection transmission when providers wear long sleeves.
Good luck to you.

If you want our opinions then how can that come from a good nursing source? Do you want to know what we think or what someone has written?

I have the same question. I would be glad to give you my opinion or info about the local dress codes but I don't have sources to reference.

Thanks, for your post. You have right cos, I made a mistake when I wrote it.
Yes I need good references. But why not and your opinions. Otherwise, I ask for your understanding if I make mistakes in writing. Because, I have problems with English (it's not my own language)... so please have consider...
