Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

So after two long years of hard work I've been accepted at my top choice nursing school for Fall! I still have some pre reqs to get done so to motivate myself on my breaks I've been having fun with picking gear.

Our school nursing scrubs are navy and we wear white long sleeve T shirt under them. Can wear black, white or brown shoes.

We also have to get the Littman Classic 2 stethoscope. What color would you get it in?

Choices: black, navy blue, raspberry, orange, ceil blue, pearl pink, peach

If you don't have to wear white shoes, don't. They're difficult to keep clean and you cannot really wear them anywhere else. (Yes, I wear my duty shoes for running errands, going to the movies, etc. They're the most comfortable shoes I have.)

As far as stethoscopes: Raspberry, orange, peach or pearl pink. They'll be less likely to be confused with someone else's scope and less likely to walk away with an MD. I don't understand it, but physicians, especially interns and residents, are notorious for walking away with stethoscopes. Make sure you have your name engraved on it so you can prove it's yours if there is ever a controversy. (Unless you're really lucky, there will be one day.)

Congratulations on starting your nursing path!

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing about white shoes, it's sort of weird they are mandatory so many places given what they are exposed to. I'm going with raspberry because why the heck not :) Will definitely get the name tag!

What are these shoes that are so comfortable?! I'd LOVE to know, I have high arches and am an old lady this is my second career!

Not everone's feet are the same. You need to try on a variety of brands until you find a brand that fits your feet. Personally I like Nikes but not everyone does.

I loved Danskos and used to live near an outlet. They are comfortable and last forever. I had 15 pairs at one time -- but I live on a boat now, and they'd be dangerous. I got rid of all of them! Now I wear Keen sandals mostly -- but hiking boots and UGGs in the winter and New Balance trail running shoes (better colors/more support and non marking soles) for work.

I like black for the shoes, and I would go with raspberry.

Soooo fetch!

Good luck!
