Your dress code as a nurse practitioner influences the perception of your patients, colleagues, and families. Your dress code also influences your confidence and mood. You may not have much time to shop and give much thought to your outfits because of your tight work schedule. However, you must dress in a way that communicates confidence, competence, and professionalism at all times. Consider the following tips when picking your work outfits.
1. Follow the Hospital’s Policy
Most hospitals require nurses to dress either in all white or all blue outfits. It is boring to wear the same color every day while going to work, so some nurses try to spice up their looks with outfits of different colors. Follow the policy in your institution at all times. You can always change into your favorite outfit after your shift.
2. Consider your Patients
Pursuing higher levels of education qualifies you to work with different patient populations. Education institutions have made it easier for busy nurses to further their education by providing online doctoral nursing programs. You need to consider your patient population when choosing your outfits. For instance, outfits with your favorite cartoon characters are appropriate when working as a pediatric nurse, but you cannot wear the same outfits when attending to elderly patients. Older patients may assume that you are unserious or incompetent.
3. Avoid Revealing Outfits
Revealing outfits are inappropriate for both male and female nurses. You need your patients to focus on your instructions and not your outfit. Some will dismiss your advice and even ask for a second opinion if you are dressed inappropriately. Dressing appropriately goes beyond picking all blue or all white outfits. Check how each outfit fits your body shape. Check your outfit properly while standing, sitting, and bending in front of a mirror before you show up at your workplace
4. Wear Minimal Accessories
Balancing your tight work shifts and postgraduate studies leaves you with little time to take of yourself. You can pursue online doctor of nurse practitioner programs and create more time for personal care. Accessorizing your nursing outfits is a great way to enhance your looks and remain stylish all week. However, you must be careful not distract your patients with your accessories. Avoid large accessories and apply subtle make-up. You do not want to draw too much attention to your face while offering medical care. Avoid bright colors for your nail polish and wear a comfortable pair of shoes.
5. Pay Attention to your Undergarments
Some nurses get it right with their outfits and ignore their undergarments. Your undergarment may show through your outfit if you pick the wrong color. Picking the right color for undergarment is critical if you wear white outfits. Bold colors will easily show, which makes you look unprofessional. If you wear a skirt or trouser, make sure your undergarment does not show when you bend.
Nurses rarely have enough time to pick their outfits and accessories. Your goal should be to command respect and communicate professionalism with your dress code at all times. Avoid outfits that distract your patients or make them lose confidence in your abilities and competence.

Happy Chanukah Day 4 Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik Explains The Holiday

The “Big Bang Theory” actress and Hanukkah ambassador Mayim Bialik new YouTube video breaks down myths and facts about the holiday of lights.
Bialik, known for her role as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory” released this video 4 years ago. This video has earned over 13K million views.
Thought Hanukkah was all about the presents? False. Pajamas, calendars, stickers, socks, chocolate coins and spinning tops are all fair game for gifts but it’s about so much more than presents.
“It’s about finding light in darkness, about facing adversity, it’s about fighting for what you believe,” Bialik explains. These are the real presents of Hanukkah.”

Happy Chanukah Day 3: Food For Thought

A Chanukah menu includes potato pancakes, fried, of course, in lots of oil. Sweet cream cheese rugelach. Strawberry-jam-filled doughnuts (sufganiyot), covered in powdered sugar. Fried apple fritters. Cheese-filled doughnuts fried in oil and dipped in honey and Cheese blintzes. Chanukah food traditions have their origins in the first years that the holiday was celebrated, and are meant to remembrances of certain miracles associated with the reason for Chanukah.
The first is the miracle of oil. One day’s supply of oil lasted for eight days. Mystically, both the menorah and the oil used to light it are associated with Chochmah, and the war between the Greeks and the Jews.
The word shemen, Hebrew for oil, contains the same letters as shemoneh, eight, the number of days that the miracle of the oil lasted.
The dairy is to honor a young woman named Yehudis. During the war against the Greeks, she fed a Greek General salty cheeses so that he would become extremely thirsty and brought him wine to drink. He fell asleep, she killed him. The Greek army fell into disarray and fled. Thus the dairy in the meals.
Gluten Free Latkes
Be sure to use high-heat oil, which will help keep things from burning. Pay attention to the temperature of the oil—keep it between 325° and 350° F—
Makes 24 latkes
Frying time: 6 to 8 minutes
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- ½ cup superfine brown rice flour
- 3 extra-large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 32 ounces safflower or other high-heat vegetable oil
- Preheat the oven to 170° F or your preferred keep-warm setting. Line a baking sheet with layers of paper towels.
- Peel the potatoes. Using a grater attachment, grate all the potatoes and onion together. Alternate, if grating by hand, coarsely grate half of the mixture and finely grate the other half, then combine the two mixtures in a large bowl.
- Line a colander with a clean dish towel. Place the potato mixture in the lined colander. Squeeze to get the liquid out. It will be messy, but keep going or the latkes will be greasy and not as light.
- Place the potato mixture in the bowl and add the flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Fill a skillet with ¼ inch of oil. Heat the oil until a tiny bit of the mixture sizzles when dropped in. Maintain an oil level that is ¼ inch deep with a temperature of 325° to 350° F at all times.
- Scoop ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, flatten to 4 inches in diameter, and fry over medium heat until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Place the finished latkes on the paper towel–lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven to keep warm while finishing up the other latkes.
- Serve the latkes warm, topped with applesauce and/or sour cream.
