different reasons for why we are not allowed to wear scrubs

Nursing Students General Students

Published

I know a lot of nursing schools still require nursing students to wear those horrible bandmaster poplin uniforms. We recently convinced our faculty to let us change to red scrub tops with black scrub pants; those are our school colors. After the change, and after uniforms were already purchased "some concerns were voiced" by students and faculty and the uniform was changed to either black or white pants. HA! Like any nursing student will choose to wear white pants if he/she has a choice. Anyway, we finally dug up the reason for the **change** supposedly those are gang colors... I guess there's a real problem with the Latin Disciples infiltrating the ICU nurse population LOL:jester:

My is all white scrubs. Lovely see thru pants, so attractive when all of the world can see your behind. lol

We have an all white uniform with vneck cardigan(lab coat, with tight white cuffs around sleeves), white drawstring scrubs, have to wear all white shoes(no trim allowed), white short sleeve scrub top, and a vest with wonderful dinky pockets....

I tried it on as soon as I got it, I'm between orderable lengths, so they're long enough I have to cuff the bottoms a little. Then, with it all on, let's just say I look like a banana on a fruit tree....LOL

Still excited, but at least I'm not planning on showing off the outfit at all....

I felt I had really joined the nurse race with my (really)bright white shoes & pants.

um.... have you been in a hospital lately? 99% of nurses wear scrubs. They ARE the nursing uniform.

The cap looks lovely on my bookshelf next to my student's nametag, where it'll stay.

I have to agree, as busy as nurses are I can't imagine having to worry about whether my hat is on straight...:jester:

We wear a white polo shirt with our school logo on the breast. I think it says "PBCC Nursing". With that we wear navy pants. Not scrubs, exactly, but similar. Not too bad. Then we have our nametag and all white (and they mean ALL WHITE) shoes. One of the third semester guys said he got shoes that had a little blue logo on them so he spray painted them. :idea:

Supposedly we don't wear white pants anymore because there was a girl who always wore red thongs. We were still told we are not supposed to wear thong underwear.
