St. John's nurses wear navy blue and/or a printed top w/navy in it, and Nurse Tech's and patient care tech's were burgundy.

Is there any restriction on scrubs at Henry Ford Wyandotte? From what I see everyone wears anything. I like not having to wear the same color everyday. Thanks!

Regarding the DMC, when I was last there (1 year ago), it was only Harper Hospital (and Hutzel, I think) where the RN's had to wear navy. It was a change based on a survey that was done asking patients their opinions. Patients complained that they never knew who the nurses were (vs. techs, PT RT, houskeeping, etc.). The patients opted for first choice white. Harper opted for Navy and they switched to having to wear a large "RN" dangle from their badges.

At some of the other hospitals, various departments are required to wear certain colors.

For instance at Detroit Receiving ER, they also wore navy. RT's at DRH wore black. Ancillay staff (housekeeping) wore burgundy, as did the unit clerks lab coats. All surgical units (including burns) wore hospital issue seafoam green.

after a few extended hospital stays i kinda liked the mandatory colors for RNs and aids. it was easier for me to figure out who was who, and who could do what for me. i think it was better than having people walking around with 52,345 different colors on.

Wyandotte is part of Henry Ford, but you can wear whatever you want there. They have no specific dress code. I do miss it some days since I transferred to HFH.
