Appearance (aka my mom was right)

Blow drying my hair and wearing makeup really does make a difference with the way patients interact with me.  I'm treated more like the 27 year old I am,and less like a high school student pretending to be an adult. This is especially true when I'm wearing scrubs.  However, while I can rally to add an extra 10 minutes to my morning ritual for makeup and hair, I'm pretty sure I wont be swapping my danskos out for high-heels anytime soon.
