pediatric scrub tops and adult patients

I used to work at a children's hospital so I have a lot of pediatric scrubs, no infant ones though. Now I'm starting on a medical/oncology floor and I want to still wear my peds scrubs maybe once a week, mainly because they're cute and still pretty new. If you were a patient would you think any less of your nurse if she took care of you wearing a Hello Kitty, Oscar the Grouch or Snoopy scrub top on?

IMHO, no...I have been wearing cartoon scrubs for the 12 years in healthcare...and I've been in Peds for 7, so...I was wearing them in the ER, Tele/step down, Rehab (the pts always had a good laugh when I wore my Sesame Street scrub top :) )...before I became a mainstay Peds nurse.
