Just wondering what the uniform is at everyone else's school.
We have whites and a blue/white pinstriped cobber's apron.
We have white, tunic length tops with white pants, white shoes, white socks...Our top has a patch with our school logo on the left arm. We can choose from a lot of different styles, they just have to be white. We also have to have a long lab coat with a patch on it. For ceremonies we have to have a white dress from the uniform store (pick one of these 5) with white hose, white shoes, and cap. yech. I guess it could be worse though...
$135.00 for school scrubs, that is unreal! Don't they know most nursing students are not rich??
Our scrubs are navy blue with the school name embroidered on them, and the lab coat is white. Tops are $18, pants $11 and lab coat is $22 all are sold at the campus bookstore. I can buy to sets and still be under the 135.00, what a rip!
Good luck and enjoy!!
Oh, what I would give to be able to wear scrubs!!!!!!! We have to wear all white....white pants, white button down top & white lab jacket. The material is thin & practically see through....grrrrr. I guess the only reprieve is that we get to choose exactly what type we want to wear. Next semester they will be required to buy a school regulated uniform so that everyone looks the same.
We had a bonfire at a classmate's house after graduation, into which many of us happily tossed our whites. (Since white makes me look like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, I was among the first!) But for those of you who must still endure the indignities (not to mention inconvenience) of white uniforms, I have a hint: beige underwear. I'm serious---it doesn't show through your clothes like white or any other color does. Try it, you'll like it!
Ceal blue top that snaps (so that when we lean over, they gap, and the patients get a nice shot of our bras if we don't wear a t shirt underneath) with our school logo embroidered on the LEFT hand side (heaven forbid it isn't on the left side) and of course the ever popular white pants.
I can't wait until June when I NEVER have to wear ceal blue again!!!

We wear all white with a red name pin. We're planning a ritual burning of them on May 6. WOOHOO!!!
