Or British?

I vaguely remember when they were white and blue striped and you have to have collars and cuffs etc.

I go to Muhlengberg Nursing School in NJ and we wear white scrub pants and maroon T-shirts with our logo on it. It's not a flimsy T you can buy in a department store, they're thicker material. On top of the shirt we have to wear either a white vest or consultation jacket...both are pretty ugly. Usually we get so hot during clinical we don't even wear the vest or jacket. I can't wait to burn them when school is over....

My school requires navy blue scrub tops and bottoms from Dickies, with a patch of the school seal on the left sleeve. They don't care which style, just so long as they're the same color. They've even let scrubs from other manufacturers slide, so long as they're navy blue.

Lab coats have to be white and knee-length, again with the school seal patch sewn onto the left sleeve at the shoulder.

Shoes are supposed to be all white, but that gets overlooked as long as they're mostly white and clean.

During our psych rotation we are specifically told not to wear the scrub uniform. For psych, community, and some volunteering locations, we wear business casual, which for guys usually means a polo or button-down shirt and slacks.

I'm in a Master's Entry program, by the way.

As an editorial comment, the general trend seems to be the farther down the academic pecking order one's program is, the more old-school/uptight they are about the uniform. Then again, with first-time students a lot more has to be drilled into their heads along the lines of proper behavior and dress as opposed to people who've been through college once and held down a job...

our scrubs are our school's colors-navy blue and white. Navy blue top and pants with our school logo in white in the upper left. White shoes, although some clinical instructors dont care, and in that case, I will wear my black danskos.

We have a white coat to go with if we are cold.


No real rules on how to wear the hair. I pull it back now that its grown past my shoulders though.

I'm not sure I agree with this, I am a first time college student if you include my pre reqs (although I feel like I have been in college forever with pre reqs and a 3.5 year wait list) but I did not need anything drilled into my head, I knew how to act and have held down jobs since I was 14 years old. I wasn't one of the students posting about the old school uniforms but as far as the bold part I am a first time college student.

I don't mind a strict policy on uniform. It certainly don't think it is anything to do with the "academic pecking order" of schools. Probably, it is much more to do with the fact that people will do what they can get away with and we need to be identifiable to patients, staff, instructors and each other.

I think we look clean and professional in our scrubs. When I did my CNA, and their was no real guidance, people showed up looking like a dog's dinner. It made no difference if they were 18 or 60 nor whether they had been in the working world.

I would hate to have my patient code and have some doctor start barking orders at me like I had a clue. Hence, I still think bright orange scrub top would be a good idea (our local jail uses beige scrubs so we'd be safe on that count). LOL

We were also told business casual as well for our psych rotation. I usually wore slacks/trouser pants and a sweater or blouse. No v-necks and no heels, so flats it was (plus I am more comfortable in flats...I am on the tallish side).

I too am in a Masters-entry program. Where do you go to school if you dont mind me asking?
