Yes, now that scrubs have entirely taken over the healthcare world, it's become v. hard to find any other kind of uniform wear. If you think that ordinary white scrubs would be too casual, compared to the females, you might consider white scrubs with a lab coat over them.
Best wishes! I hope you'll have a great ceremony!
If you want to wear "orderly" type clothes (white button down shirt with matching white pants) I can make the following suggestion. I volunteer at the local hospital and our dress code states that we need to wear bright white pants and a matching white button down shirt. I hate it and feel like I look like one of the orderlies from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. They sell white uniform clothes on the JC Penney website. Look for "Big Mac" under the "workwear" heading. I hate them but it might be just what you're looking for.
Going with a variation of the school's nursing uniforms....white shirt, white school-provided nursing coat..a blue pants...our clinical (and classroom) uniform is white scrub top on navy blue pants..so a variation of that works for me..they want something different, they can pay for it..lol

Well...the end of the program is nearing pretty quickly. Am the only male in a class of 24 students. We are going to have a pinning ceremony, and the idea is to do it with class. We have been talking in class about what to wear. The women are going with old-school nursing attire, dress and nursing cap. But..being the only guy, am at a loss of what I am supposed to wear. Am thinking the old 'orderly' style white shirt and pants thing, but not having much luck finding it....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
