In the career of health occupations wearing a dress or pant suit would not be appropriate in class. I believe it is important for students to see the uniform as their professional dress. This includes making sure the uniform is clean, ironed and fits properly. Modeling this behavior will assist the students in showing up to work with their uniform appearing professional. I model my uniform in this professional manner in class and clinicals for students. I think back to professional role models I looked up to and this was their standard of appearance. The standard they expected of me as a student has carried over into my professional standards. I feel modeling this behavior assist the student in developing their own professional standards. Is it appropriate to send a student home that shows up to clinicals in a uniform that is wrinkled, unkept and does not fit them properly?
