Thanks for the information. Are the RNs required to wear solids or is it simply a color scheme?

St. Luke's Hospital (on the Plaza) has no scrub color requirement, however the RN's wear a purple extension from their badge that says "RN" in large bold letters to avoid confusion.

thanks dawn,

i notice your specialty is neuro-surgical icu. how does sicu differ from med-surg nursing? are you involved in any or activities or do you just work on the pre/post op patients? what are the most common types of issues do you deal with on a daily basis? are there any nps working in your unit?

thanks dawn

St. Joseph Medical Center where I used to work has no color requirement, but only that you can't wear cartoon tops.

Children's mercy has no rules regarding colors/patterns, etc.
