I am a occupational health nurse/case manager and work in an office. However I have complete responsibility and accountability for my duties. I am backed up by a physician, but have control over my caseload. Occupational Nursing doesn't sound terribly glamorous, but it is interesting. I like regulations and my undergraduate degree is Health Care magement. ..so it's a good fit for me.

I work in MN at a distribution center; warehouse. We manage all work comp, wellness clinic and presentations for employees. I wear jeans and a turtleneck now! I wouldn't wear a skirt or dress as I often have to visit sites with a Cushman or go into the freezer area. I wear a pair of Doc Martin shoes or my winter boots (have a company car between campus sites). I would wear scrubs over professional dress. So if you're required to get in odd places to provide care, use equipment that can be dirty or get you dirty.... well wear what is appropriate in the facility. Most everyone I work with wears jeans.
