Recently, the hospital where I work has decided that all Nursing staff will wear navy scrubs. ( Tops and bottoms). The employer is not purchasing the scrubs. This is going to be a great cost for many of us. Administration says this is going to boost our patient satisfaction. Our unit has consistantly scored high on patient satisfaction scores, and we wear scrubs of all different colors and prints. I have asked patents for 3 weeks now, "What would you like to see your nurses wear, and what they thought about all navy uniforms?" None of the patients wanted all navy uniforms. Most of them said, I like all the colors you wear." Those of you who wear all one color, did you find a jump in your satisfaction scores? Thoughts one way or the other?
