Nursing with style

Published 11/30/2009 12:00 AM

The first lifestyle magazine for nurses launched last week with articles about the nurse practitioner job market, Lenny Kravitz's role as a nurse in the movie "Precious" and scrubs fashion. That's right, these medical professionals are moving beyond the unadorned uniform to "mock-wrap" scrub tops and cardigan scrub jackets in a variety of colors and prints. (Learn more in the article "What Scrubs Style Is Best for Your Body?")

Online, the magazine's most-viewed article so far is a list of 10 things to never say to a nurse, including asking for medications, asking if he or she dates only doctors and - the No. 1 most obnoxious item - asking, "Why didn't you become a doctor?" The print magazine, edited by Elle and Mademoiselle alumna Catherine Ettlinger, is available for sale in nursing apparel stores; the content is free at www.scrubsmag.com.
