Re: What do you wear?
I am an educator and I wear business attire on days when i have meetings and scrubs on other days. I don't take a patient load, but when I'm rounding on the units to evaluate new hires I go into the patient's rooms with them and team up with them to do patient care. I also get called to the units to trouble shoot or teach something to a new graduate. I feel more comfortable wearing scrubs for this.
As a side note, DON'T wear a suit and heels when JCAHO is in your hospital. I ended up working 4 hours on the unit in heels and a suit. It was a sight to see. I wanted to cut my feet off, they hurt so bad!!
