April 19th is Visit the hospital day. A few years ago I was interviewed for an article on dressing for success even when your dress code is scrubs (link here). The nursing profession is a noble one, and the uniform of a nurse sets them apart from other staff and alerts patients to the seriousness of their training and position—or at least it should. Wearing cartoon characters (unless you work in the pediatrics ward) has just the opposite effect and is a credibility killer for nurses.
