allnurses Guide BostonFNP, APRN 3 Articles; 5,581 Posts Specializes in Adult Internal Medicine. Has 12 years experience. Oct 3, 2016 I'm a DNS at a SNF so we have lots of NPs. Some wear business casual with a lab jacket. Some wear club wear...I kid you not...tank tops, mini skirts and stilettos. Not at all professional.Sounds like a fun place to work count me in!Business dress in the fall/winter/spring, business-casual in the summer. If you are thinking of becoming an NP, try to find some to shadow.

Conqueror+, BSN, RN 1,457 Posts Has 29 years experience. Oct 3, 2016 I'm a psychiatry NP. I loathe scrubs and want to distance myself from them as much as I can. I wear business attire, business casual, dark jeans once in a while, etc. I do not carry a briefcase. Rather, I have a Vanquest Trident 20 with my personal tablet (for engaging in personal affairs) and other EDC items. I looked at Saddleback leather goods for a long time, but Vanquest fits my daily needs rather than having to unpack/repack. I work in an office and do not have exam rooms, etc. I try to keep it business-like rather than clinical.Now secretly crushing on PsychGuy
Conqueror+, BSN, RN 1,457 Posts Has 29 years experience. Oct 3, 2016 We have a handsome local doc who has two NP's on staff. They literally follow him around and get his coffee etc. in between doing the bulk of his work. Spandex skirts, cleavage out and six inch heels that lace up the leg. Everyone calls them his backup dancers. I feel embarassed for them.

There has to be a happy medium between this and what I have historically seen in my area the disheveled, frumpy middle aged women wearing prairie skirts with knee socks and birkenstocks.

RunNP 37 Posts Oct 3, 2016 I worked in an ED where the docs wore tight scrubs or "Smedium" T-shirts and of course they were all young and crossfit junkies. They would even pose for some of the nurses. It was a sight....

My arm span is at least 6'3" and I can't fold them up enough to put on a loosely fitting scrub shirt.
