Do crna's wear lab coats?

[Reminisce]

I know this might sounds like a dumb question but I am trying to educate myself on the basics, Do crna's wear lab coats or scrubs?

so, nobody sees wearing scrubs (from the OR/hospital to the outside world i.e. public transportation, grocery stores, etc.) a public health risk/concern? there's more on scrubs after a day's work than changing a diaper, etc.. you all are misinformed and delusional to believe otherwise. if i was on the public health police force, i'd give any and everyone a summons for wearing scrubs when leaving the hospital. no reason for it. period.

I gotta ask what is on these scrubs that is soooooo dangerous to the public? Really c'mon dude.

If everyone is misinformed, I would definitely like to know what we should know- honestly. As far as CRNA's, according to the previous poster, they do not come into contact as much with the pt- so I do not see the issue. Obviously someone coming in contact with any bodily fluids and whatnot will probably change- if not solely for their own safety. We obviously gown up for contact precautions and the such. That is what PPE is for. What would be the difference of a family member seeing the pt and then going to the public? The duration of stay? I work at two hospitals and the staff wear scrubs to and from.... One where public transportation is the only option- if people are fearful, I haven't seen it.

Just my two cents though.
