What is everyone's opinions on having to wear mandatory uniforms? Yes I think we should all have to wear scrubs, but does your hospital decide what color and patterns you where? Do you like that there is a mandatory uniform? Do you wish that you could where whatever scrubs you want to wear? At the hospital that is near me each specialty has a different color that they have to wear. This was changed about 8 years ago, before this change the nursing staff could where whatever scrubs they wanted to wear. Now RNs wears solid navy blue, CNAs were solid burgundy/maroon, RT wears solid green, etc.

I am about to graduate in December with my ADN. I would really like some opinions on whether I should apply to med/surg positions or if I should try to get into the NICU, which is where I ultimately want to be. The hospital that I am going to apply at does except new grads into the NICU. Thank you for your comments.
