Nursing Job Fair Attire Question

Would it be appropriate to wear scrubs to a nursing job fair at a hospital as I will be going directly from working my night shift to the job fair?

You can if you want to. But I always stuck to dress pants and a nice blouse. There really isn't a dress code for job fairs but they do always say dress professionally, to make that first impression. I think you should bring a change of clothes just to be safe.

Good luck

I, personally, would find a way to change. Business casual will make a much better impression than scrubs.

Wearing scrubs to a nursing job fair at a hospital not bad but may also think for pant and blouse that can suitable in that kind of occasion.

For making a good impression may also go for professionally wearing.

I would try to change especially since you are going after your shift, your scrubs might be pretty wrinkled, dirty, etc.

I would take a change of clothes to work with me and change (and "freshen up" :)) before attending the job fair.

You technically could...however it may not make the best impression on the recruiters.

I'd dress as though you're going to an interview.

Wearing Professionally is better but Pants and scrubs also good option.
