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.
