That nurse you are defending has no business to work in a hospital as, being a nurse, she ought to know better. It was not about her modesty or covering her 'aurat', she has just got a bad attitude. And my friend, don't make this a racial issue. She would have been dismissed all the same had her superior been someone of her race. Slumdog: Nadzim, now you are being silly, suggesting that nurses would do better to wear sleeveless shirts, short skirts or bikinis.
Nurses need to wear short sleeves because the arms and hands are the parts that come into most contact with infected patients. Thus they can wash their arms and hands after every encounter with a patient. This will prevent them from spreading germs to other patients.
Wearing long sleeves means they carry the germs with them throughout the day. Unless PPIM suggests that the nurses wash their long sleeves after every contact with an infectious patient.
Then we will have nurses walking around with dripping wet long sleeves. Hplooi: An analogy by itself is not an argument but merely serves to illustrate the cogency of an argument. You can have good or bad analogy. In Malaysia, the use of emotional analogy, frequently used to pass off as rational argument by itself, and to inflame the audience towards a certain viewpoint is a favoured tactic and a dishonest form of argument.
By PPIM standard of analogy, I can also say that burqa should be acceptable for health care workers on pain of religious sensitivities. Lukesky: Nobody is asking nurses to come to work in sleeveless blouses or short skirts or bikinis. The hospital just required all nurses to follow WHO recommended policy to minimise risk of infection by not wearing long sleeves. If you cannot follow the dress code, find another job. The majority of nurses who work in hospitals are female, so something like a skirt for nurses would be appropriate so that others can quickly identify the role of the person who is working at the hospital.
In the case of wearing scrubs , it can be a bit more complicated. In certain cultures, they may not want nurses to wear skirts for traditions that go back hundreds of years, but most modern hospitals may actually find it better for the nurse to wear a skirt.
For instance, in girls, private schools wear because the school wants to teach girls from an early age how to dress in professional settings. The hospital may also just make them wear a long skirt if they have to wear them due to them just wanting to keep their image in a good place. Short skirts probably get in the way less and make it easier to walk in the workplace, but some may see it as inappropriate. Letting nurses wear skirts that are too short will attract the wrong kind of attention, so it might be best to use long skirts.
This is something that could change due to the boundaries between gender becoming more blurry depending on who you talk to. A hospital wants to be taken seriously so that the people there know they are getting the best service possible. If male nurses wear skirts it could also make them think that they just want to fit with the female nurses. Generally, something like this is just going to cause problems with the female nurses feeling uncomfortable and the patients not taking the nurse seriously.
I guess it's because pants make it obvious that you have a crotch, whereas a skirt blurs over that fact. But really, pants cover your body, but with a skirt there's basically nothing between your panties and the rest of the world. Aside from the possibilities Laura mentioned of accidentally flashing people when you're being active If I worked with adult patients, I would hate to wear a skirt when in close contact with strangers.
If you have to wear a skirt because of your religion, I'd suggest wearing thin pants or leggings under it. Specializes in home health, dialysis, others. Has 35 years experience. No one really cared. And I have worked with a few nurses who wore head coverings of different kinds. No one cared about that either.
I've worn crazy costumes on more than one occassion - as long as the work gets done and no one is offended, who cares? I didn't mean to come across as so negative I think that the appropriateness of wearing skirts on a hospital floor depends on why you are wearing them - if you're wearing a hijab, or a kapp Mennonite , that's one thing, but I can't say that any of the skirt wearers I've known granted, it's only three have been observing religious preferences There's a reason we got rid of the practice of wearing skirts to work - they increase the perception of nurse-as-a-sex-object and as subordinate to our male colleagues.
Unless there is a genuine conviction that is also displayed in one's personal life i. Specializes in med-surg,ortho,oncology,teaching. I went to nursing school with a lady who was a Pentecostal and she wore a skirt or a dress. In fact we were the first vocational nursing class to be able to wear pants. We had a designated uniform we had to wear so we had to make sure that it was availabe in a dress as well.
She was not treated any differently by us, the hospital staff, or even the patients she took care of. I also have worked with another LVN who wears skirts for the same reason, and she is not treated any differently than anyone else. If you the skirt or dress is done modestly then I don't see the problem.
