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...

I believe this is the most condescending and venomous thread I have ever read on Allnurses.

I am surprised it lasted this long...or that I bothered to read seven pages of it before skipping to the end.

Yes I do....but it seems that you have no understanding for novice nurses,you would probably tear me apart in the clinical for blanking out on the procedure instead of guiding me through it or show me!!!

Actually, I love teaching and I think mature, responsible students would find me tough but fair. However, students who choose not to take responsibility for learning would probably complain about me behind my back.

Well lovehospital---i think you need to rethink nursing. I think a job that would suit you better is a supermodel where you can wear your beautiful hair any way you want, and wear your cute clothes every day, and no one you work with will be jealous because they will be just as beautiful and skinny as you.

Rules are everywhere----suck it up!!! You are starting to sound like my 13 year old daughter before a school dance complaining how unfair it is that she cant wear her favorite this or that!

I am not trying to be rude to you---i just know that there are a million young women out there that would give anything to able to afford and/or find time to go to nursing school. Even wear a pink wig and a houserobe.

Honestly---stop being so vain and shallow....be grateful you have been given the oppurtunity to become a nurse.
