I too have a little excess adipose tissue, and I understand what's being said. It's quicker to grab a donut and run then a salad. AND, Lord knows, the cafeteria takes your entire lunch break just to get a pre-made anything! Yes, it would be nice to see the "fuller figured" model, and good size pockets are a must. I have tried a fanny pack, but, it gets in the way. I now make my scrubs and can taylor them to ME. I have increased the size of my front pockets, added side pockets to my pants and even added a piece down the side of the tops to increase the width! Now don't say it, but, it IS that easy!!! Just practice on some inexpensive material. Ladies, ladies, ladies……. be nice. I too have a little excess adipose tissue, and I understand what’s being said.

I like cargos. And yes, like so many other magazines and catalogs, please show models bigger that size 6 or even 12 when showing us how to look good if we aren't skinny I agree, many times I’ve had to grab my shears out of a pocket to strip off clothes in the ER.

Live in Texas sometimes it is just tooooo hot to wear something under----then we do need matching T-s to wear under in our winters like everyone else ------never too many pockets... glad to see tops that don’t gap open when you bend

There are some disgustingly emaciated coworkers where I work that none of these tips could have a prayer of helping them. The need for more images of full-bodied women is noted in this article. The women they displayed do not need slimming advice at all. Gross is the wrong word Big D.

But most healthcare workers with which I work are grossly obese. You should address the average LPN, not the occasional slender health care professional. Decent article.

Pockets , pockets, pockets! Not those little side pockets that will barely hold a pair of scissors either! A nurse needs to carry pen, flashlight, scissors, kelly clamps, tape, flushes, high lighter and a sharpie to name just a few things. If wearing a lab coat/jacket is too hot or not recommended for your body shape why do all the tops have little pockets or no pockets at all?
