I'm not in clinicals yet, but just wondering. Also, do you pick what you want as long as it's white, or whatever, or do you have a specific uniform? And shoes? I really don't care what I wear, but... Read More

    We have to wear Blue(sorta bluegreenish) scrub pants with the matching v neck
    top and we have to have white lab coats with all white tennis shoes. I chose
    the new New Balance that are white leather with the N trimmed in grey. I have
    to take them to get approved cuz I would hate not being able to wear my cute NEW B's. Don't get me wrong, I like em cuz they are the cutest and most comfortable shoes I could find that didn't look like orthopedic shoes and they aren't expensive( 2 for $99) at Footlocker.

    We also have to wear royal blue scrubs that are embroidered with school name. We also have a long white lab coat with school name embroidered and school patch on sleeve. They are really cute! I think I'd be happy with anything because I'm am so glad to finally be a nursing student!! :hatparty:

    I haven't seen ours yet, but the letter they sent me said we'll have a green top with khaki piping and the school logo on it, white pants (elastic- ugh! no drawstring), a white lab coat with the school logo, and I don't know what the shoes will look like. I'm glad we don't have everything white, but I'm sure they've chosen the ugliest, most outdated looking scrubs and shoes, anyhow. :chuckle

    Quote from Ned the Red
    No idea what we'll have to wear since I haven't been accepted yet. But, my wife (a nurse) has assured me that, in her words "You're gonna look like a dork." Yahoo, can't wait!
    Aaaahahahaha. LOL!

    I haven't seen our uniforms yet, but I've been assured that they're completely white. We have to have both a pantsuit and a dress. Fantastic. Me and white just don't "go" (I'm always spilling something)..........

    Hey Truly - you laugh but, notice that we're both from Texas! We may both look like dorks before this is all over! Oh, well, I'm old enough that I guess I look like a dork anyway (at least that's what my three kids tell me) so I'm not worried much about it.

    I'm in fashion shock!

    I'll have to wear all white scrubs with a maroon or blue cand-striperesque smock and white shoes.

    I'm also fair and very blonde, so I too will look like a marshmallow. Hot cocoa anyone? LOL!

    We are required to wear white. But after 3 semesters, mine are rather off-white. No one has said anything about them yet...and yes, I do use bleach.
