I prefer plain scrubs. I don't feel as professional when I'm covered with Spongebobs, Patricks and Squidworths. That's just me, though.

At the hospital I work at, we used to be able to wear fun scrubs. Then management changed it to hospital issue scrubs. We thought it would be terrible, but actually it is pretty darn nice!!! It looks much more professional, and the hospital pays for the uniforms. They are not the surgery scrubs, but much nicer ones.

I'm more like Angelica. I prefer not to wear something to work that I wouldn't wear outside of work. I do have a few subtle prints though, but Spongebob, or any cartoon/pediatric characters are out, as well as teddy bears, hearts, and anything really loud. They just aren't "me."

I like loud, zany, crazy prints. If the hospital pays for uniforms, they can tell me what to wear, otherwise, no. I get so many compliments from patients and their families about my prints that professionalism has never been an issue.

Most of the time I wear nice patterns that a guy would feel comfortable wearing. Outdoor scenes, wolves (I love wolves), pine trees, that sort of stuff. I hate solid colored scrubs, too drab for me. During the holidays, I wear some really colorful patterns that fit into the season. Today I wore green pants with a shirt that a green back ground and different historical representations of Santa's heads throughout history. I got alot of compliments on it from the patients and other staff members. You can have fun and still maintain a professional appearance.

as a student we are forced to wear boring white...so the second i graduate i am finding all the colour and crazy prints i can and am going to go wild for a few months...after that i might settle down a bit but not likely. yay for color...i dont think i would be that obsessed with it...but when you are told you can't wear colour it really gets to ya...we have nicknamed ourselves marshmallows and q-tips...

Personally I don't find scrub tops comfy at all. I wear a nice loose fitting cotton t-shirt with a print lab jacket. Nothing too wild and no cartoon prints, just a personal preference.

Thumbs down 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.
