There are a couple of nurses I work with who have really long hair, and I don't always see them pull it up during patient care. I feel like that would constantly be getting in my face or snagging on something. I keep mine short, by the way. Can I ask what everyone thinks is appropriate for hair length or styles?

I don't think you have to have short hair in our profession. I get the preferance of pulling your hari back but I don't really think it matters. I have long hair and I only put it up when I am hot or when I need to.

I have really long hair and ain’t no way I’m not putting it up if doing any type of patient care ! First off gross I don’t want my hair in any of it as they don’t want it in their personal space either !

Do you even wash your hands between patients?

It's the younger generation.. it's more important to look cute than to be professional. It goes with the scrubs that are so tight you can see cellulite.

Ugh how ridiculous is that ! Wow you’re right though

Mind your business is really the best thing, who are we to say what’s appropriate? ☺️

That's why Health care is going down the drain.. Nurses are patient advocates !!
It IS our RESPONSIBILITY to point it out !!
If you don't care enough to take responsibility, you shouldn't be in Healthcare !! Go be a influencer with your long hair and fake eyelashes !

Hi everyone, I am 4.9 years experienced , I joined Fractal 3 months ago as a data engineer, but still haven't got any project. Process is so slow that I have received only 4 to 5 project calls.

I have interview lined up with Impetus as for now. Would it be better choice?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
