BOXY PHYSIQUE

Soften the curves of a boxy figure with certain kinds of tops and bottoms.

Flattering Neckline Scrubs

Flat Front Scrubs

DOs

  • As the area under the bust is the smallest and most flattering part of the body, it’s wise to wear tops that accentuate this area.
  • Wear styles that also provide shape below the bust line.
  • As for pants, it’s best to wear a clean, flat waist style.
  • Soft elastic waists are also suitable.
  • Focus on flattering necklines to take the eye away from the boxy shape.

DON’Ts

  • Avoid super-low-rise pants. It’s best to wear pants that are at your waistline or just slightly below it.
  • Avoid heavy drawstring detail, as it will add bulk around the waist.
  • For boxy figures with slender legs, avoid wide-leg pants.

Is nursing considered a career or a trade? I am not just a skilled craftsman, I am an educated professional.

Student nurses are frazzled and panicking right now. You’ve been there. Got any advice for us?

Male nurses are almost not existent in the clinics. Other than the MDs, I am the only guy on the floor.

I love hearing about how the nurse practitioner is the “next best thing” in the medical profession. Is it?
