MCC - Nursing Students Starting 2009

I didn't say to add in darts or anything, but there are things you can do to make all clothing look nicer and be subtle about it. Nothing makes someone stand out more than dumpy looking clothing, IMO.

My mom is a seamstress so I guess I can ask her what she can do to help the situation.

Go for it. I took one of mine in at the waiste so it wasn't so boxy and it was fine. I ended up ripping it but I loved it before that! I might also add a cargo pocket on the pants. I have them on my work scrubs and love them. The instructors I asked said it would be fine.

I wear a white long-sleeve t-shirt under my uniform for warmth. the lab jacket just seems to get in my way during pt care. The jacket does serve it's purpose during psych clinicals and for a couple other things though, but you won't need to get a second one, IMHO.

~Hoot~

Why does the jacket help for phych. clinical??

Also, on a different topic.....I called the Macomb County Health Dept. and they said that the Hep B vaccines are $33 each, and you need (3). Total cost around $100. TB test through them is $8. Just incase anyone was looking into this....

If the school didn't care what our uniforms looked like they wouldn't dictate which ones to buy. Nobody messes with the uniforms, I have never seen it done. I am very surprised that any instructor said to go ahead and "make it your own" or modify it.

I would assume that the best bet is to call the Nursing office at MCC and find out what they will or will not accept for sure.

I assumed that hemming of the pants would be ok? I'm 5'2" and the pants that I have are for someone 5'6" it seems. Dove has a special section for "tall" students, but us shorties are left out. I only have a 27 1/2" inseam (got piano legs! LOL). They are very long on me. I can only pull the waist up "Steve Urkel" high so much until it's cutting into my circulation... for lack of a better term.
