Scrub colors?

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

So, I just stated travel nursing and am curious about national scrub colors.

I have worked in 3 hospitals in Delaware and each hospital either required all navy blue, or a combination of white and navy blue.

What is your hospitals colors and where is your hospital located?

I'm in Maryland.

For all nursing students we wear light blue tops/white pants. The one local hospital near us is white pants/any color scrub top. Shock Trauma in Baltimore is pink. Johns Hopkins I believe depends on the unit.

The ED at Hopkins Bayview in Baltimore they wear all navy. University of MD students wear white tops and khaki bottoms. I would hate having to wear white pants...why would anyone pick those?

Specializes in ER.

I'm in Ohio.

We're Caribbean blue but rural division wears hospital scrubs for ER and the nurses have no dress code for the floor. The competitor is royal blue. The teaching hospital is their school's mascot colors which is yellow shirt and blue pants. Down south they wear black. Up north they don't have color coding yet. I can't remember what further north wears but I want to say it was navy or royal blue.

The ironic thing is that the two competing hospital systems have their environmental services and RN colors switched. We joke because they are trying to put the other one down.

L&D and surgery all wear hospital provided scrubs.

Students' scrubs vary depending on the school they go to. One wears white scrub top with red/black banding on the sleeves and black pants. The scrub top looks ugly in my opinion as I think it's meant for student chefs. The old style scrub top was prettier which was a button down scrub top versus the zip tops (which is actually on a state website). Another wears white top and blue pants. Another wears white top and blue pants again. Another is all blue.
