Anyone experiencing new uniform requirements?

Yesterday it was announced that all RNs will have to wear white jackets with "RN" embroidered on them. We have to wear these year-round including the summer. (It gets to be over 100 degrees here often in the summer.) I am so upset right now because I have so many matching jackets for my scrubs. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

As to the white lab jackets, the hospital is providing us with 2 lab jackets with "RN" embroidered on them. If we want more we have to purchase them at the gift shop (don't know how much yet). We do wear our name badges (that clearly state our titles...RN, LPN, CNA, etc.) but I guess that that is not good enough.

At my current facility, we can wear anything except denim scrubs.!

You can't wear denim scrubs? Man, without my denims, I wouldn't be so popular! :) Seriously, I see nothing unprofessional with them.

I would also rather eat dirt than work at a facility that makes people wear all white.

One of my favorite outfits to wear is black scrub pants/black scrub jacket with a lavender nice knit t-shirt underneath. Or my blue or lavender scrubs with black same type of shirt underneath. :) I love scrubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a meeting and the Nurse Manager told us that we are only to wear pastel colored scrubs. No dark colors. We also cannot have long nails, or wear a lot of jewelry. Not even hoop earrings.

She is going to start writing people up if we don't comply. I think she is most concerned about the long fake nails (I don't have them), so if she writes someone up for nails, she will have to write someone else up for dark uniforms since it's all the same policy.

whatever.
