15. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    NursingNerd1 replied to kelligracie's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Our hospital has all RNs wear a white scrub top with their unit's designated color bottoms and the other departments like RT, Lab, CNAs, Sitters, etc all have specified solid color sets. Luckily (I reckon), we can purchase any brand as long as it mee...
