I am going to be working in an oncology hospital and we are supposed to change into the hospital scrubs when we arrive at work. You know those fluffy shower cap-like hats that cover your hair? I want to buy one because I look cheezy in the one's the hospital provides but I don't know if it's possible, would it bring in germs? Should I just use the hat's the hospital provides? What do you do? Thanks

I would use the hospital provided hats. The object is not to bring microorganisms from home, so that would include the hats. You would get a fresh one every day--more often if necessary.
