nursing uniforms

[nmb]

Can anyone explain why scrub patterns are so hideous? Big hearts, flowers.... maybe things I might dress a child in but certainly not myself.

It seems the longer we have been "allowed" to wear prints, the more boldly colored they have become. Seems to me it's just another way the fashion industry has found to sell the latest style of clothing.

I date from the all white uniform times, but when they left 8 inches of thigh showing. I had good legs and was a lot younger and thinner then. When they started letting us wear pants, it sure made life easier, I could get a drink from the water fountain without checking if anyone was in the hall first.

Several years ago I got some not quite uniforms, sort of fancy scrub dress things that were very light weight, didn't demand ironing and attractive. Always liked those for summer.

Know why someone would get flannel scrubs for winter but can't imagine how you get over feeling like you wore you jammies to work, esp on nites.

Around here we have Hawaiian shirt Fridays (summer only); red, white and blue Tuesdays (in memorium 9/11/01), and purple Wednesdays (during union negotiations).
