It's whats inside the scrubs
I have only worn Walmart Basic scrubs, always solid with matching top. The colors available I bought are
Blue,
Light Blue,
White,
Kakee,
Tiel Green,
and Rasberry.
When I wear the Rasberry colored scrubs I get jeered and made fun of by some people when they see me. Always the same people. I don't take it well and challenge people because they think it's pink. Walmart has Pink scrubs, which I did not buy, because I think Pink is a feminine color. Annoys me all the time when I wear them and people say I'm wearing Pink but I'm not. It's a red color an the light side...Rasberry. It's what the label says too, but some folks always bark out some snide remark, until I put my foot down a coupla times and show I am serious I don't want no one making fun of my scrub color in such a way as to insinuatate I am feminine. I've lightened up, and so have the folks who learned how their comments bothered me. I can garantee that if I made any reference like that to a woman nurse wearing blue with short hair was lesbian...so silly. It's okay to say a scrub uniform is dirty or ratty which can harm a PT. Only positive comments should befall clean solid color scrubs, and at no time should anyone in jest or otherwise degrade fellow healthcare worker over the color of their clean scrubs.
