I can't believe that everyone is allowed to wear any color/pattern they wish. Patterns are verboten around her (fine with me-- I'm not a fan) and we have to wear navy or white (or a combination of the two, of course). As you may imagine, nobody wears all white. I'm fine with the dress code.

Doesn't it look a bit chaotic if nurses are walking around in different uniforms?

I love prints. I'm a professional because of the manner in which I conduct myself, not because of what I wear. My personal favorites are Tinkerbell, Mr. Potatoe Head and VeggieTales. My residents are always telling me they love my "dresses."

I like to prints and colors just not plain white. I love the cartoon characters but I worked at a school and with a pediatric pt. so it fits. I guess it would just depend on where I am working. I do have to say that I wouldn't want anyone telling me what to wear unless they were paying for the uniforms. But I am the type of person who likes variety not the same old same day after day.

I would also be interested in where you got the pattern from.

Default sewing scrubs
After I graduated, I took one of the dreaded school uniform scrub tops, took it apart and used that for a pattern. That way you can see how the whole thing is put together. I work in LTC now. Nurses wear white pants and hunter green tops, CNAs wear burgundy.

I 100% agree with this. How am I going to convince someone to take their DM meds when I'm bouncing up and down in my Hello Kitty scrubs? I know I wouldn't take myself seriously if I was a pt. and saw this. I think esp. us young nursing students/nurses need to present a very professional image. Peds is a different story, but I'm not bashing anyone, this is JMO.

We used to be able to wear whatever we wanted as long as it was clean and not wrinkled up. We got a new unit manager recently and now the dress codes are being changed after the first of the year. Our floor must wear navy pants, navy or white SCRUB tops, NO Tee shirts, and then we can choose the color or print of our jackets....but I have been told management can make you stop wearing something if they deem it unprofessional looking. I am bummed about the no Tee shirt rule. They are so comfortable.
Another thing folks are upset about.....no uniform allowance. This is our financial responsibility according to our new management...she only has to give us enough notice to reasonable get it done.
I have been shopping unsuccessfully several times now....going to the big city today to look around.
