Luckily, I don't work at this particular hospital anymore but ... I was at a clinical rotation where the new Med Surg Director warned the staff that you would be written up if you're scrubs were "too tight."
When I did work at this hospital, I don't remember seeing anybody who was dressed inappropriately. And I haven't seen anybody dress inappropriately during this clinical rotation either. I mean ... scrubs are scrubs. There's nothing revealing about them. Even if the pants are too tight, the top usually covers everything so I'm trying to figure out what the big deal is.
Apparently three RN's have already quit over this, and one of the student externs ... who always dresses appropriately as far as I've seen ... was written up also. It seems really crazy to me since they're always short staffed as it is.
Has anybody had managers who do crazy things like this? Why would they do this? It's no problem for the RN's to quit and get a job tomorrow if they want to so ... why would a manager harass them like this?
Maybe they're trying to bring in their own people but, there's plenty of vacancies as it is and, I can't imagine that having to hire more people is going to make their job any easier.
