You cant be fashionable for nursing.

Published

Ok so I was told by my instructor that one cannot be too fashionable in nursing.What she meant by it is that you cant have your hair down (I have a hair that is medium-lenght and layered so it doesnt really touch my neck,so I dont see the problem why cant I wear it down.Also she she mentioned something about the nails,they cant be too long.Ok I agree with this because the lenght provide the site for microorganism colonization,however why cant they be painted???It is not like it willrelease the odor which then can be offending to the patients.

Rules are rules but in the reality how many of you nurses put your hair up and wear no nail polish to work.Just curious...

Cultural differences aside.

We all learned in school there were not many options , but to comply with what the instructors wanted. Whether we liked it or not. Instructors help to lay the groundwork .

We may end up at facilities that had multiple policies and rules. If we could not follow rules and policies while students it was grounds for being washed out.

Anyway from my understanding I believe that nurses have similar rules in any country...

Okay, why are people arguing this incredibly silly point on CHRISTMAS??? Do you not have family to spend your time with? I'm on here from time to time to get a moment to myself from my kids, and I admittedly have no life, but, please, couldn't your time be better spent studying or something?

Not everyone is Christian or celebrates Christmas nor does every one have a family or chose to spend time with them during the holidays. :up: To each his own.

OP I originally thought you were a pain and did not like you from all that you wrote. Now I feel sorry for you. These kind nurses are giving you a small taste of how, if you don't quickly change, the world is going to treat you. You are no longer a child (age wise) and if you think those big, bad instructors are mean wait until you work with a group of women who don't care how "cute" you are and tell you how it really is. These women are being kind. Just shut your mouth and get through school.:icon_roll

maybe.

but women from different countries, have different rules/agendas/priorities...

and acknowledging this, helps me understand your persistent focus on your physical qualities, and looking "cute".

anyways, i'm done here.

the air i breathe is precious to me, and don't like wasting it.
