dress code before clocking in

the hospital that i work at has just started a policy that requires all employees to dress ''business casual'' when coming to work, at work, and leaving work...i am an ob nurse that wears scrubs..i come to work, change into hospital furnished scrubs, clock in and work....the policy now states, no jeans, gym shoes or sandals (unless wearing hose) will be worn to or from work...most nurses, wearing scrubs at work, don't own business casual....question: can a hospital require a dress policy when we haven't clocked in yet....?

thank you

That's just stupid. Of all the things they could concentrate on (like ways to improve patient care?) this is what they choose to spend their time on..... Oh pencil pushers....

the next thing will be that...if you are a woman--you have to wear high heels with your scrubs while working--that is how ridiculous it all sounds! heather/

personally I think that is bull crap.

Its so hot in our facility, I think I'm going to start working naked :rotfl:

I won't work naked. A couple of our pts. are confused and delirious and reach out and grab anything, if ya know what i mean.

Don't worry, that already happened to me when a patient with dementia decided she didn't want to go to the toilet after all. Note to self: wear a cup to work LOL

thats sounds like an ouchie

My 2 cents.....

This sounds like a rule that can be safely ignored. It was created by some admin twinkie who'll be working somewhere else in a couple of years anyway. If you are terminated because you look sloppy coming into work or you cross-dress or you own lots of leather...then it's discrimination on a variety grounds. Find you a decent lawyer and spend a couple years in the Caribbean courtesy of your mgmt.

Now if you look bad on the clock....well that's another story.

Remember the pirates code (cause they sure do) "Take everything!!!! Give nothing back!" Arrrrrrr!

The only dress code that our OR and Maternity floors have when it comes to what you wear into and out of the building is to not be tacky (ex. Daisy Dukes, boobs hanging out, thong hanging out). Doesn't matter what's worn just as long as it's decent.

I like Daisy Dukes

not on me of course

Hmmm, don't know why they should care.

I would wear shopping-mall-casual, but not beach-casual, and tell them to bite me.

This is open to interpretation. Business casual...what on earth does that mean......what is a banker's idea and what is a stripper's idea will probably vary quite a bit.

I like the thrift shop approach. Nice (old) polyester doubleknit pants and maybe a wing collar polyester shirt.....worn every day....by ALL the department's employees and maybe a group picture for the newsletter? This is fairly open to interpretation.

Or maybe plaid bermuda shorts with knee high black socks and sandals.......socks ARE sold in the hosiery department after all.
