From what I understood the scrubs are worn to lab and the uniforms are worn to school , and the scrubs are bought on your own as long as theyre navy , please correct me if im wrong ??‍♀️

i dunno either hopefully they will clarify that in the orientation

[Sonaaa17]

So did you guys just purchase one uniform? And will wait till orientation for scrubs?

[Biomednurse88]

i purchased 1 top n bottom uniform i have to return my top is alittle snugged i think imma buy the unisex version

[Ev3]

I'm going to wait for orientation to see if i need to purchase anything else. So far i spend alot of money on certification, uniform, shoes, transcripts and doctors visit. And we dont know how much the books will cost.

Any recommendations on good shoes ?

[Sonaaa17]

I was told by a nurse to get leather shoes. Mine kinda look like crocs without the holes. I got them from amazon and a lot of nurses gave good reviews.
