Clinical Uniforms

Ours is navy blue bottom and top. For one set plus the white coat, came to about $150 (without shipping costs) and that was through the school. There is also a top jacket you could purchase that's optional for about $57. This was through the school because it had to have our school embroidered on it.

We were required to buy uniforms through the school because they said hospital staff at clinical rotation sites have to be able to identify us as students. Plus, official school uniforms have the school's logo on it.

It cost me $137 for 2 sets. It included two tops and two bottoms.

The white coat was another $40.

I figure this is an unavoidable cost so I don't feel too bad about spending the money.

we were given the option to buy ours through our school for $20 a set, but i bought mine through a local uniform shop before i knew they were available at our school. i like mine much better, and they range from $9-$23 a piece. all white scrubs are never a good look though, haha.

We were encouraged to order through a local shop giving our school a nice discount. but allowed to get them anywhere as long as they were the right color. we are able to buy the school patch separately from the school and sew it on our selves. So far I have less than $50 into my uniforms. I have 3 full sets and a lab coat.

Uh. We HAD to buy ours through the school and they were $77 w/o shipping and did I mention they are the most horrific ugly things ever? The top has a ZIPPER down the entire front for crying out loud. *sigh*

We had to buy ours from a local uniform store that supplies the shirts with our school patch on the sleeve. It was like $85 for uniform and lab coat.

Holy crap guys! We had to buy ours from a local store and we can have whatever kind of bottom scrubs we want as long as they are black. I think I have about $80 in FIVE sets and thats because our school changed our uniforms.

We have 2 outside vendors we can buy ours from. I got 2 tops, 2 pants, a labcoat, 2 penlights, bandage scissors, 3 patches, and 2 name tage for $121. Not to bad, but ughhh the all white thing doesnt look good!

I presently attend an RN program at a trade school, where the uniforms were included in the tuition rate. My school issued each nursing student 2 pairs of uniforms and a lab coat.

When I attended an LPN/LVN program several years ago at another trade school in a different part of the country, the 3 pairs of uniforms were also included in the tuition rate.
