Regarding dress codes.....I work in LTC and about 6 months ago we changed from whites to colored and/or printed scrubs. We had been after our administrator for about a year to let us change but she always said:" Nurses wear white. As long as I am here that is what you will wear. Patients like to see nurses in white"> WELL, guess what..our CEO decided that if we were ever going to attract more help we would have to make some changes which included the dress code. I can't tell you what a difference it has made it morale and the patients love it!!! ( our DON, incidentally was in agreement with us from the beginning--she just couldn't convince the administrator)Everyone--patients and families-- have complimented us on how nice we look--everyone, that is but the administrator!! Talk about a sore loser! Candy
