I thought this would be an interesting topic of discussion.

What color are the uniforms that you all wear to clinical rotations? The scrubs at the school that I currently attend are maroon. We have the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on those chilly days.

When I was attending an LVN program back in 2004 and 2005, our uniforms consisted of a royal blue scrub top and white pants. We also had the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on cold days.

We wear royal blue pants and tops to clinicals, which is a HUGE improvement over the ridiculous thing we had to wear for LPN clinicals!

Dove grey top navy bottoms.

Would rather they were white. You can bleach the daylights out of white.

Smurf blue for the BSN program. The LPNs wear a tan scrub top, and green scrub bottoms.

(Gold and green are our school colors)

I hate you all. We have to wear white on white on white. White leather shoes (no color) white pants, white top, white lab jacket and of course white undies because you can see through the ugly things. Not only that, but our tops have a big 'ole ZIPPER down the front instead of buttons. They're horendous.

And unfortunately we CAN'T bleach them because everything has our navy and yellow school patch sewn to it. So we have have white uniforms that you can't get stains out of. Awesome. *sigh* I will say the guys' are even uglier than ours though. At least our zipper stops a little bit before the collar. The guys' goes all the way up to their collar so it practically strangles them. Man they're ugly.

*eta* here are the girl's uniforms (page 5)

I have to say that this picture makes them look 1000 times better than they actually are thanks to the model being a size -10.

I'm quite proud to say that I got through a year of LPN school with no stains on my whites :) I don't know how I did it, I only had one uniform for the entire year.

For RN, I'll be in whites again.

For the ADN program, they were white with green trim.

For the BSN program...I have no idea since it'll be a while before I have to wear them, but I'm guessing they are probably white :)

Sort of a dark green (although NOT that darkest green that is almost black) V-neck tops and bottoms. White shoes. White lab coat with school logo on one arm. Not sure why we have the lab coat since almost all of us are too hot to wear it and take it off anyway. Must be Landau brand.

We have to wear an all white school provided uniform, white shoes and socks. We are not allowed to wear anything over our uniform, ever.

I say we should go for blaze orange. There would be no mistaking us for anything other than the student nurses!

Well the jails around here use BRIGHT orange scrubs for the inmates so here we very well COULD be mistaken for something other than nursing students lol!
