Hey all, I was wondering if any of the ladies here wear scrub dresses ever, instead of pants? Are they acceptable uniform at hospitals/ltc facilities?
I'm asking because I was a CNA until very recently, and I always got so incredibly hot in scrub top & pants. And that was doing home care... I think running around a hospital, I would be sweating profusely all the time, yuck. I also just prefer the freedom of movement that dresses give me. I figure with opaque tights a scrub dress would be comfy and the knee length would be long enough to not have to worry about bending over, etc.
I rarely see dresses in practice though! I actually just had to edit this cause I thought I had one example, but I was wrong, the dresses were just for the pinning ceremony. So I've literally never seen them in practice.
Any thoughts or wearers out there? Would it be thought of as *weird* to wear them in most places?
I wear them everyday and there are a few in my hospital that also wear them, not many though. They are comfy and I have never had a problem. Just remember that you still need to wear stockings (hosiery) with them because I dont believe you can have nothing on your legs.
