Oh, for Pete's sake. Who cares what you do w/your pants? If school or clinical setting doesn't like it, they'll tell you, follow their directions, it's not a fashion show, it's a job.

I'd like to point out that the way a person talks here on the forums may be their relaxed self, with less emphasis on "proper" grammar and appearance. This isn't a job interview, and you have no idea if this gentleman talks like this in the professional setting.

OP: If you really have your heart set on standing out, I'd ask your precept or instructor first. Also, there are other ways of standing out, such as outstanding skills or an enthusiastic drive.

Agree. :yes:

So far...this has been a VERY interesting thread! :cheeky:

First, It will not look professional, and even if you do get away with wearing them that way, the other nurse's who will be evaluating your performance will not give you the best rating.

Second, no matter what scrubs you wear, you end up pulling them up all day long. Now try to keep them up if they are being pulled down with every step you take.

Do your best to blend in with everyone else, don't draw any more attention to yourself then you have to, as a student everything you do will be watched by someone.

Sup brah, ignore the haters and do the thing you do. Make sure you keep on studyin like you said you do so your patients don't end up six feet under. :bugeyes:

Keepin up a good morale is, like, the best thing you can do to get through nursing school, so if it means tucking your pants into your high tops, then go for it. :up:

A lot of these nurses went to concentration camp instead of nursing school. :angrybird1:

:wideyed: Hopefully, "these nurses" demonstrate greater sensitivity toward patients.

Do you think that was a funny joke? I thought it was cold and insensitive to say that and I am deeply offended. They should have deleted you!

Do your thing, brah.

Follow the rules, express yourself when you can.

At some point, carving out your identity at every waking moment will become way less important, but for now it's part of the process.

You read the things they deleted? Like the picture that insinuated that the OP would rather worry about his fashion than save his client? And that wasn't worth moderating?

The OP has clearly show maturity and judgment in his responses to those who would attack him just for posting.

Good on ya, OP!

Express yourself when you can. Because we need to stay in touch with who we are and what we like. Just because you're going to nursing school you don't need to be uptight and reserved be yourself. Good for you,don't listen to the not so kind comments as you put it.

It's most important you give your all to your patients ;)

Good luck
