As a student nurse, I often looked at staff nurses and the unkempt hair and dress they wore to work and thought they must not think much of their job to come to work looking so BAD. Now that I have a graduated, I make it my practice to have clean scrubs and makeup on everyday. I can not imagine going into a patient's room and looking like the wrath of God. It makes nurses and the nursing profession look bad. It only takes a few extra minutes to make yourself look presentable and kept each day. As you can tell, messy nurses are one of my pet peeves!
