Thoughts on Christmas scrubs...Yea or no way?

No way. I will never wear holiday themed scrubs. I guess it is ok if you are a peds nurse, but otherwise no. To me it is the equivilant to wearing one of those tacky Christmas sweater vest (which is only ok if you are over 60, lol). :cool:

I don't wear scrubs to work (home health), but I like Christmas scrubs as long as they're professional-looking (no cartoon characters, angels, nativity scenes, or working lights).

As I sit here in my brightly colored Halloween scrub top with bats, ghosts, pumpkins, candy corn, and witch hats on it and my bright orange scrub pants, I had to smile! I'm an elementary school nurse, so I would have about 450+ disappointed "patients" (not to mention the 50+ staff!!) that would be somewhat disappointed if I didn't wear my cheery, festive scrubs! I have at least one top for just about any holiday or season. It's just one of the reasons I LOVE my job!!

Me too. I'm a school nurse and my kids loooove to see what I'm going to wear next. Today it was my Halloween scrubs with flashing jack-o-lantern earrings. I have some cotton material put aside that I'm going to make scrub tops--2 for Thanksgiving, 2 for Christmas. I don't wear them every day. I use the holiday scrubs to offset my regular scrubs, which get kind of faded washing them so much.

Wow! I didn't expect so many responses. I am starting a new home health job in a couple of weeks and was looking through a scrub catalog and was just wondering what the consensus was! It sounds like if I get some that aren't too "kiddish" I could get away with it!
