I'll be observing an eye surgery tomorrow morning. It'll be my first time in the OR, so I'm not really sure what to expect, other than the basic "Stay out of the way and don't lock your knees." I'm guessing that I'll be changing into hospital-provided scrubs before the procedure, but I know that I'll have contact with the doctor I'm shadowing before that.
My dilemma for preparing to meet the doctor beforehand is this: I don't want to wear my very best professional outfit because I'll be changing clothes anyway, but I don't want to look like a slob, either. I'm thinking dark jeans and a decent-looking top, along with the tennis shoes I'll wear on the surgical floor. I'll braid my hair or put it up so that it's out of the way and easy to tuck into a cap/hairnet. Does this sound okay? (I'm a girl...)
Also: Is it better to wear glasses or contacts? Does it matter?
Any other tips would be appreciated!
