Clothes that fit the Job

[Davey Do]

Do you wear certain scrubs on certain days?

[NutmeggeRN, BSN]

Of course you're Cool, Farawyn. Duh! Like, everybody knows that!

You know, Sissybee was the first Nurse I ever knew who wore black scrubs.

HEY! Maybe you two should get together and make some big blockbuster comedy sci-fi movie!

Lessee- what could you call it?

I want in on that!!!

[NutmeggeRN, BSN]

What I wear depends entirely on how daring I am. I have a bit of a drinking problem. Every thine I drink coffee I spill some down my front. So, I avoid white unless I am VERY DARING or won't be drinking coffee that day. Which is almost never. So typically, I wear black. On my VERY DARING days, i will wear a white scrub top and black pants. I never wear white pants or white shoes. It's after labor day, after all!

A million years ago when I did home health, I started using a straw for my coffee. The frost heaves here in the Northeast will kill you!!!

To this day, I still use a straw and I don't wear my coffee!

We wear purple on Wednesdays-union color

Red on Fridays- I still haven't figured out why.

Red is often worn by the fire departments to support the Armed Services

Navy blue, as far as the eye can see...although I am particular enough that I have to match tops with bottoms bought from the same company, in the same fabric. Undershirts are a toss-up. Whatever long-sleeved shirt is on the top of the pile.

Days off are easy. Swap the scrub pants for jeans, the scrub top for a long cardigan/sweatshirt/jacket, and I'm good to go.

...Nony doesn't have a life.

I know,right? I just can't take it when the colors for the top and bottom are a little off. Drives me absolutely bonkers!

heron told us to wear green today. I hope everyone complied.

Because when heron speaks, I listen.

OK, pass the news. Green is the color of the day. Good thing I'm not working as I don't have green scrubs anymore. Years ago when I was a CNA we had to wear emerald green scrubs...I swore when I became a nurse to never wear that color again, and I still haven't.

Still in navy?

Sometimes there might be black, grey, or white. But yes, the basics have all seemed to trend towards navy.

Not thinking about the day when I end up someplace that the nurses wear something other than navy.

Nursing school. Hunter green. I kept the scrub pants for pajamas when I graduated and never wore green as a nurse again. Which is a shame because it's a nice color. When I see someone in green scrubs my first thought is they're a student nurse.

Some memories can't be repressed.

[Farawyn]

Hunter green, emerald green... Any green. My favorite color.

Then pink.

[Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, MSN, RN]

I wear whatever is clean and within reach. Occasionally I'll wear the sports team scrubs if the team is playing that night.

I wish I was allowed to use fun scrubs! We are provided with scrubs (dresses or tunics). That way in Sweden, we all look the same in the summer I spice it up with wearing a dress and rainbow knee socks!

How do you like the dresses and tunics? Sounds awful to me (I'd always be cold in a dress), but if you're used to it I'm thinking it might not be that bad? I like not having to worry about my rear being exposed with my scrubs if I'm bending/crouching down.
