Mistaken, Part 2

So i've now resorted to wearing a lab coat over my scrubs in a [futile] attempt to look more like a ... rather... more NOT like a nurse. 

The original lab coat i was given was waaay too big, so i looked more like a lab tech than a med student.... so i went to exchange it for a much smaller size.

But even with the lab coat on over my scrubs, guess what i was mistaken for?
a RECEPTIONIST!!! 

What. the. fuck?????

I give up.

my current junior (not as cool as my other jr) reassured me that no matter what i do, I will look like an RN.  As long as i'm wearing scrubs, am female, and look young (everyone thinks i'm 23, tops... i love this graceful aging thing!).  She said that even ATTENDINGS get mistaken for RNs. 

I just can't wait to be able to say "NO. I am a DOCTOR!"

(I'm not allowed to say that now... it'd be a lie...)
