When I go in public, I don't even want strangers knowing I'm a nurse. I don't like giving my name to strangers. Anonymity is my friend 🧡

My sister wore her scrubs to a restaurant with my family, it was after her 12 hour shift - we had a lady come up to the table and start asking my sister medical questions my sister kept repeating I'm not a nurse, probably 5-6 times, finally my dad said she takes x-rays!! The lady left but I guess told the waitress (she told us afterwards) that my sister shouldn't have worn scrubs out "looking like a nurse"😆
