Dec 30, '12 by armygirl2013Quote from Enthused_Nurse2BIn my experience it's based on the facility and what the Commander dictates.

Medsurge areas- ACU bottoms and ACU scrub top (given through vending machines)
Critical care areas- Blue scrubs that were given through vending machines
Although some nurses prefer to stay in ACUs for their shift in medsurge and I haven’t seen anyone get in trouble for it yet. Personally I would MELT - Asst.
