School uniforms

[essarge]

Just went and picked up my uniform for clinicals and .......YUK!! That is definetely not the style I would pick for myself (not to mention that the sizes run REALLY small making me more aware of how much weight I've put on in the last year! These uniforms are white (go figure) with three horizontal buttons on each side from the shoulder and they zip up. plain white pants with no pockets. On the bright side I can wear a lab coat so I got a 5 pocket coat to carry all of my crap in! LOL!

Are there any schools that have "cute" uniforms or at least not white ones?????

I actually like our school uniforms. They are button down long sleeve oxford cotton shirts. blue and white stripe (like the pillowticking for us old folks who know what that is). We must wear white cotton pants any style and a lab coat. I like the blue pants and white shirts but that is the uniform for the nurses aids at our hospital. We can wear any white shoe that is comfortable and our shirts and labcoats have our school logo on them. Everyone in our hospital must have a picture ID at all times.

I attend the Medical College of Georgia School of Nursing in Augusta,Ga. Our uniforms are white pants only, with a royal blue or all white top of any style. The patch is on the left sleeve and our name tag on the left chest area. It is ok, but you have to be careful "that tiem of the month" with white pants

Our uniform isn't too bad, but I'll still be glad to get rid of it! We wear white button down tunics with 2 large pockets and white pants (pockets/no pockets is up to us). Also, we have to have our school patch sewn onto the left sleeve, and we have a school issued photo ID that we have to wear. We have lab coats, but we never wear them when we're working in the hospital, just when we're there gathering information and for orientation, and whatever else the school decides we need to wear it for. The only time we've been able to wear whatever kind of scrubs we want was during pedi b/c the kids were afraid of us the first week when we went in wearing all white (lol...I probably would have been scared of us too).
