Well, that's our rule, they're not supposed to show through if you wear something underneath the scrubs. A lot of the circulators wear a fitted tshirt and leggings under their scrubs, because a few of our rooms are WAY too cold.

I wear long sleeve tshirts under my scrubs. When I go back to the OR room I wear my jacket. Policy states extra clothing must be contained by your scrubs.

It is so nice to meet someone else who does not freeeeeeze in OR. The policy in our OR is no exposed clothing but it is not really enforced. We also have OR jackets for use if needed.

We are not allowed to wear any exposed clothing in the OR, so it's either tanks, long johns or extra scrubs for anyone who is cold.
