How many uniforms should I buy?

[Rnstudent2011]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how many uniforms I should buy for the first semester of the nursing program or maybe how many you go through in a week? Is there any other supplies I will need more than 1 of?

Thanks

Wow and I complain about the $35 set of scrubs I had to buy lol. It's not right. They should just have certain plain colors, like all white or blue top and white bottoms or whatever and let you buy them at WalMart and get a patch. It's plain wrong to make students who are paying thousands on tuition and books to buy uniforms they'll never wear again.

I have 2 sets and am going to buy 2 more when they go on 'start of semester discount' next week at the bookstore. We are required to buy the tops through the school (white with the logo embroidered on), but we can wear any navy scrub pants we want (woo!!). The 2 sets I bought were 25 per set.

I have 2 days of clinicals and 2 days of class (we are required to wear scrubs to class, too). I will probably get an extra set eventually for emergencies, but I'm waiting a while to spend on non-essentials.

We have to wear our scrubs every day(class or clinical, it doesn't matter) The school starts you out with 2 and you can buy more if you want, i just do laundry every night(since im doing it anyway)
