I think most on our unit are too chicken to rock the boat (or at least be the first one to initiate a protest). Most of us are angry and a petition has been discussed but I want to find out from a legal standpoint if they can force us to buy these scrubs. I will wear them, I just want them to pay. Thanks for your input everyone....It sucks to feel more like a bedroom accessory than a nurse. We are a med sized OB unit and and they have required us to match before, but they bought 2 sets. I think they should buy 3 sets but will settle for at least 2 and then they can make the other units match and stop wearing PJ bottoms to work. :)

Please advise: our hospital DON has announced that she wants us to change from our everyday scrubs to wearing matching scrubs (that also match our new bedspreads for our brand new unit opening in April). She thinks that we should be grateful for our multimillion dollar unit and purchase scrubs. I am angry that 1. We are being "forced"to decide between colors we don't like 2. we have to purchase these scrubs we don't like from a company they got "cheaper rates" for us (and for good reason...they are cheap/too thin) 3. We have to match bedspreads for crying out loud!! Also....no other unit has to match, I have frequently seen nurses/staff wearing clothing that hardly qualifies as scrubs....PJ's etc. Does anyone have input/advice....thanks for your help :angryfire
