White pants. Freaking white pants.

I just found out that my LPN program requires white pants and shoes with their uniform scrub top.

I have never in my life worn white pants for a whole lot of very good reasons.

Anyone have recommendations for white scrub pants that aren't see-through and that launder well/don't hold stains?

I feel your pain. We had white tops & bottoms. The Cherokee brand was the best, on a student budget. Got a size bigger pants and a men's top (they are longer). I just wore a white tank top under my scrub top.

We had a white scrub burning party after graduation. Get used to being told what color scrubs you can wear. Most places "pick" for ya. It's only a big deal, if you make it one.

Good luck in school and clinical's!

A pair of flesh toned or white leggings may become your best friend for reducing see-through. My school required all white, from head to toe (couldn't even wear NurseMates shoes because of the blue heart!), but at least they let us buy our own. Go around to a few scrub shops, and be prepared to pay for the higher quality ones. The cheaper ones just don't last and are really really thin material. Remember to always try them on, and then put yourself in all of the positions you may find yourself in during clinicals- squatting down, bending over, leaning across a bed, etc. Best way to check the fit and that you'll be covered.

Wear flesh-toned underwear. In my program the instructors would send you home or give you points if they saw your hot pink thong through your white pants.

I hate wearing white pants but my programs requires them too. To be sure I'm not flashing my underwear I wear thigh length Spanx under mine. So far so good.

We had to wear all white during CNA clinicals. Luckily for LVN school they are colored.

One word of advice. BRING AN EXTRA PAIR OF SCRUBS.

Yeah the Cherokee or Dickies scrub should be thick enough to prevent the see through effect.

Buy Aviator scrubs through their website. They're very well made and use thick fabric.

My whities made it through CNA and nursing school still looking white.

Our LVN school requires us to wear royal blue for our program. The RN wear white scrubs. But I wore leggings under my thin scrubs and there excellent for the cold weather.
