Fell Off the Sly Wagon, but Now I'm Concerned!!!!

[hotrn]

I tried shaving my head a few years ago and people said that I looked sick because I am so thin and pale, so I grew all of my hair back out and I now I want to try it again. The thing about it is I am a Hospice RN and I have to look presentable and living in Southern Alabama, some people don't look high on a shaved head. I am woundering what ya'll thing, will I look freaky or look like I am sick, or will i look ok? Should i go for it?

Go the guys here look sick?  Of course go for it and it could be that those patients who have lost hair because of their illness will find your act supportive.

Don't worry about others...do what you gotta do.

Like Saintc's advice on showing support for others.

buddy, looking into the other's business is SICKNESS!
Don't be afraid of their opinions, do what's best for you!
And about looking presentable, I work as a waiter too! The only bald waiter in town! (I mean it), and ladies are looking at me as to a hot meal when I'm serving them!

When I look at an "RN" and see a clean shaven head and crisp clean scrubs, it tells me that person has personal pride in his appearance and his profession.

RN, just wondering what changed since three years ago when you first shaved your head?  Are you in the same geographical location with the same job?

You seemed happy being BBC then.

Just curious.

I'm in the same location, but with a different job. Before, I was a third shift PRISON RN, now I am a first shift HOSPICE RN. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!

[warhawk]

i am a very proud RN also and i love my slick chrome dome and i wear it with pride.  heck... some of my patients mistaken me as a doctor.

Hi RN, you have done it before and liked it. There is no reason why you would not go back. I bet you would love it more now more than ever.

@ WARHAWK: well that makes me feel better!! now how do i over come the other issue that i had the plast time i shaved, i had razor rash on the back of my heah nomatter what razor i used or how ofern or not i shaved. any advice and are ya'll sure that a bald head will suit me?

[kalbo]

You might be applying too much pressure when shaving the back of your head. Be more gentle and try rubbing ice cube after shaving. Works for me.

[warhawk]

definitely do a cold water rinse and ice cube rub after head shaving.  also... apply some witch hazel afterwards.  that should help out.  keep us posted.

Dude.... don't worry about what pinheads say. You'll look a lot better bald than sporting those little tufts of hair.

I would not worry about the hospice issue at all.
I am an oncologist and most the patient's actually like that I shave my head (helps alleviate their concern for lack of hair).
