Nurses and doctors shouldn't try to appease fashion while on duty, amirite?

Seems strange to worry about what others are wearing rather than their abilities. I wouldn't care if they treated me in a gorilla costume if they were good at their job.

You'd care when you get an infection that could easily have been avoided if your doctor followed the rules of the hospital.

If it was the rules of the hospital it's one thing. This is the opinion of someone who wants to be a doctor- but isn't.

Maybe wait till you're actually a doctor before aligning yourself with them.

I'm rereading it now and it reads like op is a nursing student and not even got an admission into medicine

But they have the confidence and opinions of a 30yr established doctor!

You sound like a medical pick me. One who will order tests for ‘academic purposes'

The nurses are gonna eat you alive hun😅 Some of these are reasonable issues some aren't but you never know what's going on with someone, best to judge especially with no experience.

Has any of that affected how they work and treated their patients? Unless it's a safety concern, which I would assume a doctor would recognize, this doesn't make sense

Yeah, I wear plain scrubs, keep my nails tight and have short hair (I'm male). But I see nothing wrong with people wearing their fancy scrubs with designs or the funky socks that people like to wear. If anything it's a nice thing for patients and especially children to latch on to as something fun to distract from the depression and monotonous schedule of being a hospitalized patient. Long hair must be put up in clean situations, or properly covered in sterile rooms. I've rarely seen acrylic nails in a hospital and if there are, a manager needs to shut that down real quick. But there is nothing wrong with wearing fancy scrubs or looking forward to earning your white coat.

What do you mean nurse trainee

by stehreloisa 1 day ago

I've never heard the term either, but I'm guessing OP means a nursing student doing an internship?

It is just a job, they are completely within their rights to express themselves how they see fit as long as its not against any of the rules for safety in the workplace. Calm down.

What does "appease fashion" mean? Is there a fashion Munich Conference?

Until they brake any rules they should wear whatever they want. I don't think clothing/make-up/hairstyle choices can affect their abbility to do their jobs.

As long as they're following safety protocol I don't see what the issue is. Jobs where you have a uniform and wear it 10+ hours, sometimes it's just nice to do your hair, makeup, or wear jewelry, because often you go home and end up in pajamas until your next shift, and it can start to make you feel barely human 🙃

I don't really see a problem with it. Is it necessary to be all dressed up for work? No, but if it makes you feel good and confident then why not 🤷🏼‍♂️ However I will agree with you on jewellery, long nails and hair down. Healthcare professionals should be bare below the elbow with the exception of a wedding band and hair should realistically be tied up too. But when it comes to outfits/ scrubs, so long as you're clean, presentable and tidy, there shouldn't be an issue.
