When I was in LVN school 5.5 years ago it was light blue tops/bottoms (scrubs) and a warm up jacket was provided. And man were they awful. Material wise quality was poor and I am tall, so they were unable to accommodate. (I have a 37" inseam) I had ridiculous high waters until I got special permission to order 37" Inseam light blue pants. And of course white shoes.
School issued scrubs. Black pants (which we could buy elsewhere, but the school sells 'em very cheap @ $15/pair). Black scrub tops with red piping. School logo patch we have to adhere appropriately to the arm of our scrub shirt. And our lab coat if we get cold, as jackets and hoodies are not allowed. Watch. Stethoscope. We have to carry around a folder of all of our vaccination records and such.
Edit: This is only on clinical days. There is no dress code for lecture, nor lab. Although they are discussing requiring us to wear our lab coats in lab.
White top, green bottoms and white shoes. Both the tops and bottoms had to bought at the school and they were a little over $40 each, so one set was $80. The typical "professional rules applied. No visible tattoos, one pair of earnings and they had to be studs, no other jewelry except a plain wedding band, general neat appearance.
Required equipment:
black pen
pen light
stethoscope
bandage scissors
Watch with second hand
ID badge (without which meant being sent home)

Just curious, what are you required to wear on clinical days? We have to wear a navy scrub top with white pants and white shoes. Better than all white I suppose but I would rather have all navy.
