Scrub Skirts

It's looking like I just might graduate nursing school in a few weeks and with that (after passing my boards), I'll be working as a fer real nurse, wearing fer real scrubs.

I've been curious about scrub skirts. In general I enjoy wearing skirts in warmer weather and that'll likely transfer to working on a floor too.

In my limited research, I've found nurses tend to only wear scrub skirts these days for religious reasons. Does anyone out there though wear scrub skirts "just for the hell of it"?
They seem plenty long enough and have all the pockets one could want.

Thoughts?

    I've been an RN for a long time. When I started, we had to wear white polyester dresses with white hose and white shoes. Even though those dresses were "plenty long enough," there is nothing that is quite long enough when you're crawling around under the patient's bed looking for that Percocet you dropped, or trying to rig up connections so that you can run four chest tube collection canisters off of one suction outlet or wrestling with that demented little old lady who just had a heart Cath and wants to get up and go to the kitchen to start dinner. A floor length dress would have been just long enough, and that wouldn't help the problem of stepping on my hem when I'm squat walking down the side of the bed, recording amounts in various collection systems for the I & O.

    Having worn dresses for seven years before we were allowed to wear pants, I will never wear a dress to work again. But that's me -- your milage may vary.

    Thx much for the feedback!
    Certainly makes a lot of sense on that front.
