What do NP's wear

Published

Hello! I am new to AN. I am an eager student who is ready to learn, and I am starting nursing school next year. I currently work in a clinic, and have always wanted to know what do NP's wear? Do they bring a brief case to work? Whats the contents of it? I am just so excited. I hope to be a NP in the future.

Thanks, enjoy your Saturday!

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.

Wow. Sounds like an Ortho.

I guess I need to go belittle a therapy intern now to feel equally androgynous.

Let me get this straight---this doctor is a good looking dude, probably young and thin too...,right? And there are two attractive , female NPs---likely of childbearing age---who very probably want a husband, and you think that they should act demure and not pursue him? Why? Unless he's already taken or perhaps not interested in women I'm sure he's enjoying the attention too.

Come on, give the ladies a break. Can't blame them for being ambitious. Life is hard, and I've said it before on this website: when it comes to dating, relationships, marriage, etc. there's seriously not much out there. And when the pickins are slim you gotta do what you gotta do.

To be beautiful is a very dangerous gift because one can use it to easily manipulate others. But, to be beautiful AND smart AND making big income AND have it all together... Chances are slim to none for snagging somebody like that---unless you're up there on the numbers scale yourself.

I don't see anything wrong with fetching coffee in tight blouses with cleavage, and mini skirts with fishnet stockings and heels on the job. Its our most primal instinct to make ourselves as attractive as possible to get a mate. All animals do it. When you want something you have to do something about it, otherwise someone else will get it. So...

Dance, ladies, dance!

Me either!

Although I have always found fishnets a bit "professional."

This NP is in her 40s and should know better.

I thought we all just bought our uniforms at Target for $30.

On a related note, I have a hard time finding the XXL size I need as they don't make a dedicated men's size.

I gather you all live in the city???

It's an urban EDC bag. Not optimal for hiking, etc although it can work for a day pack. I do live in a city.

What I keep in the bag is subject to a different forum just as EDC forums or ITS Tactial forums that I frequent with a different name.

It's a sweet bag. It replaced my Maxpedition gear and 5.11 products.

Lets just say that should the zombie apocalpyse occur while I am driving on I-75, I am ready.
