I would think legally you can do whatever you want in regards to stripping and being a nurse but are your needs for extra money so great that you feel you need to strip? I think you'd be served far better by being a nurse, picking up an extra shift or two and learning to live on a nurses salary. You never know how it could catch up to you later and have a detremental effect.

I am 100% for this and encourage all new female nurses to take it up for extra cash. I would even volunteer to watch and critique them so they can better their craft.

Hello everyone. I was wondering, is it detrimental to my job as an RN if I am also stripping on the side for additional money? Can I be fired for this? I know there are morality issues (for some) and such with this, but is it legally wrong? I live in southern California by the way. The salary as I make as a stripper is far greater than any nursing job out there. The reason I'm also working as a nurse is for the benefits, retirement, and job security when I'm older and can no longer strip.

There are no specific federal rules against working as a stripper provided you are working for a legit business. You should be able to do both; however, you should think long and hard about the striping. Moral issues aside, it really is not a healthy environment. In addition, you deserve much better than having drunk, horny guys ohh'ing and aaa'ing while you take your cloths off to cheesy music. I understand the money may be good; however, I cannot see this being a healthy environment.

I used to date a stripper (pleeeease don't judge me, it was years ago!) and I can attest to all this being 100% true. A lot of women think they'll just dabble a bit in it and get out once they've made the money. The problem is that it really is a horrible environment. This is all totally regardless of nursing or whatever your other job might be. Most of those poor girls have drug problems, and violence is not unheard of in these types of places. The clientelle are never guys you'd want to meet in an alley, and being in that type of place for any length of time can really hurt anyone.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: how supportive of you for being willing to volunteer to watch and critique potential strippers...

fired for it?... i don't think so, but wanting to work at another place, if they find out, then they will not hire. Only because nowadays, those who are interviewing do a lot of research now on the interviewee. They even google your name or check on myspace and facebook to see how your profile is, if you are professional. I read it in an article in the Advance Nurse magazine for some CEU's. As for the job you work in now, you can be a stripper for a side job because it's not illegal. But just in case, to not have them question anything about your work, I wouldn't flaunt it to the nurse supervisors. Good luck and make that money!

Get your minds outta the gutter, peeps. Maybe she's a woodworker or something.

I didn't know refinishing old furniture hauled in so much money. Just sayin'.

you need to check w/your state bon, as it may violate professional code of conduct.

I think that if you have a patient who suffers an MI while you, his cardiac nurse from earlier, are stripping...well, that is contraindicated.

Perhaps you ought to bring nitro to the strip club just in case...
