What color are your scrubs?

In FL & GA most RNs now wear royal blue. Is that the case everywhere?

I can wear what I want. However, a friend of mine is a nurse at a neighboring hospital is required to wear navy. Before I was a nurse and was a CNA, I had to wear navy. Popular color, however I HATE it

White pants Woth any scrub top we want. Most other facilities just require scrubs. I'm in Buffalo, NY

Large hospital system in Wisconsin, we can wear whatever we want. I prefer solid colors from too to bottom but I do own a couple prints.

Requiring women to wear white pants is evil. For that reason alone I wouldn't work there!

Navy nurses, and gray tech. Looks like a rainy day at our hospital! You would think a hospital would allow us to wear bright, happy colors to cheer the patients up. What is the evidence-based reason for dress codes? Is there one?

We can wear any color/print we want. I'm a boring solid color matchy-matchy person. But I like wearing contrasting/printed long sleeve shirts underneath.

I agree! I think it may have originally been an idea to help patients identity but everywhere is different. We pay our dues I wish we could pick a color as long as it looks clean & professional.
