I will not wear an apron or fanny pack...

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

I work on ortho surg floor and many of the nurses wear fanny packs or aprons with lots of pockets. I do wear cargo pants but still end up with stuffed pockets unable to find that darn alcohol swab when necessary. Do any of you guys out there have something that works without looking to silly?

I know a nurse who wears a vest like the type flyfisherman wear...he swears by it.

I read in another post that someone wears a tool belt to work - that shouldn't be emasculating!

Wow, I can only picture this. A tool belt :imbar

I am sure it is not like the one I am picturing now.

Hmmm...I fishing vest...yikers...would I have to wear the hat too?...he he...

Was talking to some of the other nurses last night who also feel they have to do something because lovely management decided to take out our chart boxes outside the pt rooms...where we had lock boxes for meds and bins for flushes and alcohol etc...so now we have to go all the way to the med room for supplies. Anyway they are talking about ordering some of those small side pack things that sit flush to your body so don't look like "fanny pack"...but I don't know still considering my options.

Thanks for all the replys keep the ideas a flowing...:)

For me something like a golf bag on a push cart would work.

Oh see for me I am a guy but I wouldnt' mind one of those apron things (not a fanny pack though) because I am a waiter now and a wear one at my other job. It just a small black one. It doesn't really bother me. I would be more uncomfortable wearing a uniform that is pink or something.
