  15. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    cpnegrad07 replied to abbaking's topic in Men in Nursing

    You are so right. White sucks. I, too, like the uniformity because it makes it easy for pt/fam and staff to know who they are talking to, who is providing care. But white ain't the way to go. Too bad...
