Would you believe she’s 50?

would-you-believe-shes-50A Knoxville, Tennessee RN was the winner of a makeover contest sponsored by a local salon and spa.

Betty Grishkin, a wife, mother, and grandmother who looks much younger than her 50 years, started as a medical transcriptionist, became a surgical technologist, and then returned to school at 39 to study nursing at Roane State. She now works mostly in the OR for cardiovascular surgeries.

As she practically lives in her scrubs, she was the perfect candidate for an updated look.

And her prize? A $200 clothes budget (and outfits picked by a professional stylist), a new hair color and style to replace the ‘do she’s worn for 20 years, and a facial with a makeup application to top it off.

Grishkin, thrilled with her transformation, exclaimed “Wow! What a difference.”

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

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

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