I worked with a nurse that wore white scrubs one day, lo' and behold her cute little thong was hit with those drunk and disorderly. My mother always said "If you are going to wear white pants, put on the white granny panties". She is never wrong. I have been splashed so many times with activated charcoal that my lovely white uniforms would make me look like a dalmation! Give me scrubs anyday!

I have worked in jobs where you had to where all white, where you could where whatever color(design) uniform you wanted and jobs where the dresscode was inbetween. The white gets dirty too easy and some of the newer uniforms, in my opinion, are not all that professional. Most of the patients and residents I have taken care say that they enjoy they cheerful designs and colours, nut at the same time like a slight difference in the uniforms between the nurses and the nursing assistants. Straight white is just too boring, and not that uplifting for the patients.
In my own personal opinion the flannel scrubs look like PJ's and BLACK, while most my street clothes are black it is not an appropriate colour to wear in this profession.

Whites are great for the movies. Nut in real life they stink. My husband is a student nurse and has to wear white-the cleaner has a heck of a time keeping them looking decent.
I, on the other hand wear black scrubs, they don't show the fingerprint ink, or anything else that I bruch against. My boss even ordered the black police flack jackets with MEDICAL on the back. Hey where else can you go to work wearing your pajamas??

I have worked at three facility where nurses and nursing assistants were not allowed to wear black scrubs. It wasn't a problem with me, but a few others were not happy because they had purchased some. Unprofessional, was the reason for not wearing them.

Nobody in their right mind would wear white in L&D.

Where I work all licensed nurses have to wear white except:
Or- green scrubs, OB-rose colored scrubs and Peds-purple(grape) scrubs. Being Peds I wear purple but I wish I did wear white. The dark colors pick up all the blanket fuzz. First thing I di in the am is have someone go over my back with a lint roller to de- cathair me.

I HATE UNIFORMS!!!!!! That's why I have always worked in psych or management so I can wear street clothes.

I think all the young ladies should wear tight cute little uniforms, is that a sign Im getting old. just joking. Our hospital went to the color coded job oriented system.

Of course I do remember a few decades ago, nurses were wearing miniskirt uniforms to work. In fact that is how I became attracted to and met my wife of all these years. She would still look good in a mini skirt. In fact she could still wear the same outfit she wore back then. Cant say the same for me though......................
