Default WHITE's BURNING PARTY
Our class is organizing a grad party in which we are all going to BURN our whites !!!!!

(On a funny note: we don't get hats or pinned for our grad ceremonies or pics...and my class is mad....we want to wear the darn hat and get pinned just like our nursing ancestors have for the past few hundred years)..... must be a Canadian thing...lol.

We have to wear red scrubs with our school patch and a white knee length lab coat also with the patch. A lot of the students have been complaining, but I like them (I look better in red than any other color, haha). White shoes, can be clogs but they have to have a back.

I know most younger nurses hate the idea of hats, but one of my professors was saying the other day that she wishes they would bring them back. She is an older woman, and says she was mistaken for a housekeeper the other day while working in the hospital because everyone dresses the same! Her argument is that hats distinguish nurses from all the other people in the hospital. What do you guys think about this? Just a thought...

That's a great question. Nursing minds would like to know!!

"The information came from a guy I know that is in clinicals now. He tells me that even the guys have to wear them and yes that is all of the time. "

OMG!!!! Loubell, that made me bust out laughing just picturing some poor male nsg. stdt. with a cap on.

I had a pretty bad day and you totally made me crack up.

Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks everyone for telling me your story of clinical attire. I think the comment from EmeraldNYL about being distinguishable from the housekeeper makes me feel a little better about it. I certainly do not want to be putting all of my money into this program to be mistaken as part of the ganitorial staff (no offense).. Do not get me wrong, I stilll intend on questioning them about it but since they have done it for so long, I doubt I can get them to change..

Thanks again,
Lynda

Once I get accepted & actually start school, the clinical uniforms are white scrub pants & cranberry shirts/jackets, & of course, the white shoes.

We wear a white uniform with trimmed colors of our school in front on both sides of the top. We had to purchase a cap but as for as I know, it is only for pictures and graduation.

I don't mind wearing a cap.

oooooooo, pictures!

I can't wait till I graduate and get to have pictures made looking all traditional and spiffy like a REAL NURSE wearing the white and the cap.....

Okay, I'm weird. So sue me.

(I still can't wait.)

<--- someday *sigh*
