do you have a scrub "theme"

Published

I noticed at clinicals when I was in school and at work now, that quite a few nurses have a 'theme' going on with their scrubs. Some always have a floral print top on or some always have a certain character or a butterfly, dragonfly, birds things like that. Some said they always buy tops with a flower on it or a bird, or whatever their "theme' was while others said they had never noticed that all their tops had a certain theme going.

Do you have a theme and buy tops/bottoms on purpose to fit in that theme. For example, do you only buy tops with your theme or do you always have a certain color top on with any color bottom or vice versa?

or

do you have a theme and didn't realize it until you read this.

I didn't realize I had a theme until one of my coworkers said "its so easy to point you out, I always say, look for the one with all white on" I didn't realize it but I always have on white bottoms, white shoes, and a white top that is either solid white or has a mostly white background with a subtle color(s) on top of it.

At my hospital our scrubs are dictated by the floor we work on. OB wears one color, for example, and most of the med surg floors wear white.

My theme? Well fitting, attractive scrubs! I hate boxy scrubs.

Blues

Ceil or navy. Printed tops usually have either color as a background.

Lt blue, navy, or black hoodie.

Everything is pretty much interchangeable.

Must be from the years of Catholic hs. I got used to dressing in the dark. :D

Usually flowers or hearts. Even though I work mother/baby I stay away from baby stuff. Bad bad bad when you're delivering a fetal demise.

I guess my theme is one solid color from top to bottom, it always has to match and I never ever wear a print. I also don't wear bright colors I just wear blues, greys, greens.
