I'm going to call and ask next week, but do you wear scrubs on non-lab/clinical days, or just street clothes?

It depends on the school. My school has no rules on that. Some wear trashy looking clothes. I always dress nicely. I think it is respectful to the teacher to dress nicely. Dress for success!!!

Street clothes, but nothing that looks like you just rolled out of bed and nothing that looks like you're going to a club.

Comfy stuff because I ride my bike to class

I know my university has a dress code for clinical placements.... (if i'm on the floor it is scrubs, and for research or professional days is dress cloths, professional entire) for lectures i usual's dress comfortably!

I usually look like I rolled outta bed. Mostly because I did. Heehee.

On test days I wear my "lucky test shirt" So far it has brought me great luck!!!

Regular clothes. We only wear scrubs on clinical days. Class days I usually wear jeans and a nice top.

They specifically asked us not to wear scrubs to Skill Lab. They did not want people coming in the gear they wore to work (uck!).

If they have no specific code just be clean and neat. We had one woman who had her cleavage on display all the time -- oh dear. Another who wore Daisy Dukes with flip flops -- go figure. No one wants to see any flesh between shoulders and knees -- not at school.

Just my 2 cents.

We are prohibited from wearing any scrubs to class unless they are required attire for a lab test/checkoff. I think they had a problem with complaints of students wearing scrubs straight from work. Instructors decided they could not tell who was wearing scrubs to work after class (which is fine) from who was coming off a shift to class in scrubs (which is not fine).

Jeans and Tshirts or sweaters depending on the weather on days that are not lab or clinical. We are required to wear our white uniform scrubs to clinicals and for skills testing or remediation. We can wear any kind of scrubs in the skills lab, or street clothes with our lab coat. Must have closed toe shoes at all times.

We can wear whatever we want during class days.
