Professionalism always starts with the way you present yourself. That is, how you would dress yourself so that dignity is preserved and authority is amplified. This basic rule also applies to nurses. Nurses cannot go to their respective posts without getting mindful of some dress code or the imminent dressing issues that does not just affect professionalism but also your taste of fashion.
1. V-Necks 
are not always great. In a hospital situation it is apt that your skin should at least be 70% covered or you might be a cause of chaos. Covering up yourself does involve right choice of cuts of scrubs. If you are blessed with great bust then v-necks would certainly invite urge. It is not nice that when you peep down to raise a patient your cleavage also take a sneak peak. Oh, this also applies to men. Of course not about the cleavage thing but the hairy chest. An exposed hairy chest is good only at the sensual level, but never in a hospital.
2. Watch out! Stains’ comin’! Diffuse that idea that it is okay to be stained in hospitals because nurses are not excused from getting one. Though that is true at most time, getting clumsy and lazy changing your scrubs is another story. You can still be stained but changing your messy scrubs is but mandatory.
3. Tight clothes are only for the fashion runway. Never put yourself at a point where you are made the most favorite clown in the hospital. Loosing up a dress does not mean getting lousy. At some point it is a way of getting some air for comfort. Tight pants could get much attention especially if you are in your whites. So much more if you’re on nursing scrubs. The solution: Get yourself the right size! You read it right, just the right size.
4. How about getting your bun exposed even if you are just bending to clean the under bed? If your do not want to distract a doctor or irritate a patient try to test your scrubs by bending forward and look from behind to a mirror. If something catches up your attention then you must probably be running to the nearest store or online shop a
nd get yourself a better scrub pants.
5. MJ’s long dead and we respect the fans. But hospitals are some place not for “awkward stuffs”. Get the right length of scrub pants. Getting the lining above your socks does not just make you awkward but merely a weirdo.
The secret here is simple; get the right size then you are in. Never mind the cool fashion when your dignity is at stake. In fact, you can be fashionable at your own without having to go with the peek-a-boo-styles of dressing.
