santhony44, MSN, RN, NP 1,703 Posts Specializes in FNP, Peds, Epilepsy, Mgt., Occ. Ed. Feb 20, 2008 I only wear scrubs (solid color) for after-hours ER coverage. I wear a white lab coat probably half the time otherwise.

Feb 20, 2008 I wear business casual with a long blue pin-striped lab coat with my name and credentials on one side and my practice's logo on the other side. Love the lab coat because of the pockets.

Feb 20, 2008 Depends on the specialty. Where I work, NP's in surgical specialties like myself wear hospital-issued white lab coats with logo and embroidered name and department over hospital-issued OR scrubs. NP's in medical specialties wear the same coat over business casual attire. I've seen some Neonatal NP's and CNM's wear colorful printed scrubs.
