Hello,
Our hospice nurses are currently trying to get scrubs added to our dress code and am needing some comparisons from other Hospices. Please send me a PM with your Hospice name, location and dress code regarding scrubs so I can present a sample to our executive director.

Thank you!!!

Palmetto Health Hospice - South Carolina. We are allowed to wear scrubs or street clothes with a lab jacket over it. I much prefer scrubs - they're more comfortable, don't have to worry about ruining my clothes and our patients like to see us in the bright colors / patterns.

We live in a rural area in tennessee and all my folks wear civialian attire. We go into many areas that are not that safe and in scrubs you definitley stand out as a healthcare worker (who might have drugs). It is more of a safety issue for our staff and it also decreases the chance that some nosey neighbors will see a "healthcare worker" going into the patients house so they will know they are sick (which some of our patients don't want others to know) andyg
