Just curious, what are you required to wear on clinical days? We have to wear a navy scrub top with white pants and white shoes. Better than all white I suppose but I would rather have all navy.

We have to wear a white scrub top of any style with royal blue bottoms and white shoes. I actually don't mind the look of our uniforms. I like them! :-) Especially since the white top can be of any style so I can get some cute and flattering tops haha :-)

When I was in LVN school 5.5 years ago it was light blue tops/bottoms (scrubs) and a warm up jacket was provided. And man were they awful. Material wise quality was poor and I am tall, so they were unable to accommodate. (I have a 37" inseam) I had ridiculous high waters until I got special permission to order 37" Inseam light blue pants. And of course white shoes.

Solid white scrubs. Solid white leather (any hard non porous material is ok) shoes. Hair up off shoulders. No visible tattoos.

We wear scrubs to lecture, too in blue.

Ours are going to be a white scrub top of a pre-approved style and khaki pants with white leather shoes. Not too bad, I suppose, but all those light colors make me nervous.

We have to wear scrubs to lecture as well, but those can be any solid color we want, thankfully.

School issued scrubs. Black pants (which we could buy elsewhere, but the school sells 'em very cheap @ $15/pair). Black scrub tops with red piping. School logo patch we have to adhere appropriately to the arm of our scrub shirt. And our lab coat if we get cold, as jackets and hoodies are not allowed. Watch. Stethoscope. We have to carry around a folder of all of our vaccination records and such.

Edit: This is only on clinical days. There is no dress code for lecture, nor lab. Although they are discussing requiring us to wear our lab coats in lab.

White top, green bottoms and white shoes. Both the tops and bottoms had to bought at the school and they were a little over $40 each, so one set was $80. The typical "professional rules applied. No visible tattoos, one pair of earnings and they had to be studs, no other jewelry except a plain wedding band, general neat appearance.

Required equipment:

black pen

pen light

stethoscope

bandage scissors

Watch with second hand

ID badge (without which meant being sent home)

We're allowed to wear any solid colour scrubs. Just no patterns and the top and bottoms have to match. We can wear any pair of white sneakers. I'm pretty lucky, it seems most places have specific uniforms
