inappropriate work attire

ok, i know most of you are nurses and wear scrubs, but do you think this is inappropriate to wear; a woman wears to work essentially a tank top, arms fully exposed and the top is low cut where you can see the vertical "separation" in her breast/busom? i believe this woman is dressing this way to attract someone at work, but that is another story. i'm thinking about complaining. and she couldn't wait until Halloween work custome day rolled around, she was wearing this negligee type top, short skirt and kind of black almost fishnet like stockings.

Shouldn't it be written in your clothing attire guidelines you probably got when hired? I don't mean to be blunt or rude, but usually those are handed out and given to the employee upon being hired in any profession. Whether they're trying to attract someone or not is unimportant, in my opinion. What is important is that she does her job competently. I would check with your employee rules though and express your concerns to your head nurse if you're worried. Scrubs are scrubs, right?

Ew. I wouldn't want to be known as her acquaintance, let alone a co-worker. Very icky.

Quote from johnnyDoGoodi am not a nurse, nor did i say i worked in a hospital setting. i work in a different setting. i am studying an allied health profession, which brought me to this site. i was asking as a general question. i really don't want to look at that all day. i do believe it is written in the guidelines. this lady has been working for the company a long time, and i think people get complacent. btw, i do see hanky panky with those two, and yes he's married. i know it's none of my business, but i think this needs to be exposed.

And this relates to nursing how...... ??

You're right.It's none of your business.

Quote from coast2coastif you don't want to look - don't. you could always just look her in the eye when you speak to her.an affair is none of your business and you have no right or responsibility to expose it or judge it.unless you are her manager honestly it sounds like you need to mind your own business.

Nope, none of your business. Additionally, keep your eyes elevated and let her supervisor worry about her attire.

no, i don't think any of it is your business. not being mean here just honest.both the affair and the work behaviour will work themselves out without your involvement. these things always do.i understand that you feel righteous indignation in this situation but it doesn't involve you. sometimes the correct (and most difficult) action to take is to do nothing.
