Question about scrubs

[ashbowlen]

Hi, this may be a silly question but I have no idea!

I am going to CNA school in order to help my chances of getting into nursing school and I have questions about scrubs and shoes.

New care directions said any color scrubs are fine. After school I am going to try very hard to get a job in a hospital in Portland and not a nursing home. I am just wondering if the hospitals in Portland have dress codes on the color of scrubs. Any imput would be great. Which also applies for shoes. I was planning on buying white dansko clogs. does anyone know if certain shoe color is specific around jobs in the Portland area? Thanks for your imput I really appriciate it!

Hi Ashbowlen,

I know the Providence hospitals typically wear blue scrubs. Most of the nurses have either white or black clog-like shoes (my wife wears Dansko). Some hospitals will supply scrubs for you, so you may want to hold off on buying scrubs until you are hired somewhere. Good luck with the job searching!
