Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

Published

I just bought Nike sneakers for nursing school and I am not sure if they are acceptable or not ... Nike Women's Dart 9 Running

My worries are that they are not completely white, which I hope is still acceptable.

These are the requirements for shoes that my nursing department said:

Plain, all white leather shoes/sneakers

  • No open toes or heels
  • These can be nursing shoes or walking shoes manufactured by sports companies
  • No clogs or open back shoes are allowed.
  • No canvas or nylon shoes are permitted (essentially any shoe material that body fluids can soak through are not allowed).

Thanks in advance for answering my questions!

Just a curious question for those who say that clogs are not allowed. Dansko markets themselves as clogs, are these acceptable in your program? They definitely have a back, you can clean them easily and they love my feet. My feet love them too!

I wouldn't buy these shoes though, if they specifically tell you all white, that is what they mean. And I agree with the mesh being a pathogen...

My program allows clog style shoes like dansko and crocs. But the crocs have go be the ones without holes and have to have a heel strap. I got a pair of dansko's myself! :)

Hi everyone my husband bought me these shoes Amazon.com: Nike Walker AS V: Shoes

They are very comfortable. The picture doesn't do them any justice and they look great in my hunter green scrubs. He got them from hibbett sports for $59.

im just gonna list the various things that have spilled or splashed on my shoes in clinical/at work:

urine

shower water

liquid feces

blood

pureed food

amniotic fluid

vomit

various hot and cold drinks

etc.

do you really want to be wearing mesh shoes in a patient care area of any sort? yuck.

Ha ha, add Charcoal, Barium and anal gland secretion to that and you've got my sneakers from working at the vet clinic.

Nothing breaks a shoe in like good ole anals.

Im glad this post is here, i never even thought of buying shoes yet. Might aswell start shopping early. Can't see me finding time once school starts and I have the kid and studying to deal with.

Ok, so the app only showed up until "anal gland secretion" and I opened this thread competes freaked out as to why a nursing student would have anal gland secretions on her shoes and what on earth kind of procedure that would be.

I feel better now.

Add equine amniotic fluid to my list

These are the shoes I got Google Product Searchhey aren't white but we are allowed to have white, ceil blue, or navy. Body fluids can't soak through these I don't think they have like a slick exterior that seems like it would roll off instead of sitting on it. Hope you find something!
