Of course it helps! Not me of course, but it helps attractive women!


But once a person is attracted to the beauty, it must be accompanied by other attributes - a positive, cheerful attitude, a kind heart, intelligence, a good sense of humor, a nice smile. If not, the attraction will be transitory, and the special treatment will not last!.

This is a cute topic.   Women strive for physical beauty.   We diet, do the salon for hair, nails..........go to the gymn, have groups for scheduled walks...............but Captain is right that inner beauty is important.   We had a new nurse transfer to our unit, she was stunning, absolutely gorgeous...........but when she opened her mouth, she suddenly wasnt gorgerous.   Then there are people who might not be physically attractive but when you get to know them they get even more attractive?  A sincere smile I think makes a person more attractive, Im not talking about having capped teeth or anything, just being sweet and sincere about it.

Being an assistant manager on a large med/surg unit, I interview all staff for the 7p to 7a and the 11p to 7a shift. When I interview a beautiful woman or a handsome man, I do notice that. Once I get down to the interview, that all goes out the window. I judge them by their experience and by the way they answer the interview questions. I do not believe that attractiveness has any advantage in hiring.  Others may disagree, but both myself and the manager look for the best nurse, not the most attractive.

I cant believe that this has happened to me.  I was interviewing a young woman a couple of years ago when I was doing interviews for trying to get our team staffed up.......................she was really pretty, slim, tanned, and when showing her the tour of our place, she sashayed when she walked.  Ok, I was a tad bit jeaslous of her figure, the tan..............and all, but she answered her interview poorly, Her gpa was great.........she obvously is smart.   I might be wrong, but I felt she was someone who felt she can rely on her luck to get through................anyhow, we didnt hire her..............she missed 2 many quesions on the math/med test we administered to all nurses when tired.

I don't know. I think it depends. I agree that the exterior doen't always match the interior, and usually its shows pretty quickly. I have been treated badly b/c I was considered attractive by fellow co-workers. Years ago, when I was single and divorced, I took a job at a small hospital on their inner house pool. I had just had a painful break-up, so of course my way of coping was to 'look awesome".


I worked out incessantly and dressed in the cutest uniforms allowed. I attracted attention from males, but the other female nurses seemed to resent me for this. I had one fellow nurse continuously tell me that I was despised for being attractive, and female nurses were jealous.


I thought this hysterically funny since I was an LPN, single, nursing a broken heart, and barely making ends meet. My appearance was all I seemed to have some control over. I was gossiped about, and eventually forced to resign because of the hostility the staff had towards me. In that case, being attractive was not an advantage.

maybe true in some ways, but to me that is just too shallow to get favors just because you are beautiful...it wont really last...


It's beauty that captures your attention, personality which captures your heart.

I think being beautyful from the inside is better than the outside. One ex. Pamela Anderson has always been so beautiful to me. But, I talked to some of my friends who saw her at a Starbucks in Malibu, and has seen her at sporting events, they say she is nasty to people, and yells at her children alot. So to answer your questions, although she is beautiful on the outside, her mean ways make her ugly. Beauty on the inside is always a advantage in life.


I am a proud mother of three beautyful daughter. I currently live in Los Angeles California. I've worked as a heathecare provider for almost 10 years. I am curently in school to pursue my MSN in nursing, and wants to work as a pediactric nurse, in public health.

i believe that being beautiful does help. however, beauty has many components. these components include physical features, charm, confidence, intelligence, wisdom, good attitude and positive aura. you have to have balance with every component to be able to called a "real beautiful person".

IT IS NICE  TO  BE  BEAUTIFUL  BUT THE IN SIDER BEAUTY REFLEX THE OUT SIDE BEAUTY SO IF YOUR HEART IS WHITE, CLEAN AND NOHATE FEELINGS  YOUR FACE WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.

Some good points. Beauty is also in the eye of the beholder too. There are times my husband and I disagree on beauty. For example he doesn't think Lindsey Lohan is all that attractive. I think she is. He doesn't understand what the big deal is abou her.


I at times try not to think too much of my apperance, and try more to focus on being kind , generous and loving. I feel so much better about myself when I do that.


I was born with a cleft lip and palate, so I did develop a good personality since I was not pretty on the outside as a child. I later had major surgery which changed my apperance drastically. Suddenly, I recieved attention for my appearance, which was strange to me. I can remember looking in the mirror after my surgery and saying, " I'm still the same on the inside, why are people so shallow?" I even refused to let guys who never gave me the time of day before, to talk to me.


It was a very difficult time in my life and caused a major identity crisis. I again go back to the inside counting so much more than the outside. I'm thankful for being attractive, but at the same time, there is so much more to life than looks.

Many thanks for those who posted and viewed the topic.I would like to ellaborate my topic why i am saying that beauty is advantageous for us women.Of course all of the opinion given are all right b/c it depends on how and what you were experiencing regarding the topic.I know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,inside beauty is more important than outside b/c it is lasting where as outside beauty is just a temporary.

In Nursing Profession of course we don't need to be beautiful to be a nurse we need to be smart,effecient,dedicated and willingness to help people.But,we can't deny that in other sector they required w/ Pleasing personality of course what they emphasized here is beauty.

Like for instance in a beauty pageant brain is important but needs of course beauty and projection,to become a celebrity talent is important but of course beauty is also a must. But,i would say not all b/c for the comedianne of course it is unnecessary to have this but usually for a leading role.For entertainers like dancers,waitresses and even for the whore, do you think they can be recognized if they don't have beauty?Well,I know that there are some exceptions to this but, still beauty is a plus factor.For the Managers, few maybe are not particular of beauties but mostly of course they want their secretaries to be presentable.

I would say that beauty is advantageous in the sense that to some they used this to be recognized and even to became famous not only to the community but even to the whole universe like the beauty queens and celebrities.There are still many other reasons that beauty can be advantageous.Maybe for others,it is not helpful for them to have their beauty when they are not using it in the right way.Like for instance,if they used their beauty to put their lives into immorality.

I am currently in orientation for a new PRN in- house pool position. I have worked agency here for the last 9 mos, so I have a comfort level with alot of the staff. I am unfortunately sensing a hostility from a few of the nurses in orientation with me. Again, I can't help but feel that my being attractive is a threat, and my being familiar with this place only makes a few new nurses nervous. Why?


I have been nothing but nice and helpful to all in my class. I sense horizontal violance where none is desevrved or warranted. This always makes me question other nurses and their underlying agendas and insecurities. If you were a samrt nurse, you'd befriend me. I've been doing this for 25 years.....

Hmmmmmm.....


I guess you haven't met enough males -


Personally I am attracted most to a nice smile, a cheerful attitude, self-confidence and a sense of humor. Of course I can't speak for other guys!

Well, you seem like such a sweetheart.  Those guys you spoke about are dogs.......not all guys are like that.   I hope you do meet a really nice guy who knows the inner beauty you seem to have.   God Bless,

Men dont understand when we get dressed up, and have a great hair day..........that doesnt make us a better person, but  I feel full of self confidence.  When I went to the salon last week, he called me and said  "what ya doin?"........."Im at the beauty parlor getting my hair done............and he said "But you cant improve perfectoin........LMAO.   I know, its corny.........but I'll never get tired of hearing this!

Well, I decided that if other nurses want to be petty and jealous, let them Its their problem. God has a way of showing those kinds of people the truth at the most unexpected times in life.Karma, is what I like to call it.


I've seen it in action so many times in my life. I do think inner beauty counts for way more than outer any day. I just try to treat others as I would want to be treated and feel sorry for the people who can't seem to live that way.


When I toured the hospital with my orientation group, many staff members of the hosp approached me excitedly to know I'm now working for them. I decided they were who made me feel beautiful. Not the insecure ICU nurse who seems pained to speak with me and seems to think she is somehow above me. How she thinks that is beyond me. I just get this vibe from her. I mad e the comment that we may see each other and work together now and then in ICU since I'm float. She repiled "maybe." WTF?
