So to all the guys out there, and ladies with hairy chests (just kidding)...
Do you wear a t-shirt to cover up the chest hair or just let it hang out?
Ive heard wearing a T-shirt under the scrubs is a no-no..........
Just curious on everyone elses opinion?

No I don't, I get hot enough already at work when I have other nurses cranking the heat, because their cold. I told one nurse to quit turning up the heat, and put on more close, because I can't take anything else off, and if you do turn up the heat I'll be forced to take off more clothes, and it won't be pretty.

I always wear a t-shirt under scrubs (except when I did a couple of shifts in the OR.)

I don't wear a t-shirt. I trim those upper hairs so they don't hang over the scrubs and I think I look neat enough.
I would wear a t-shirt when they invent a scrub top that has sleeves longer than the t-shirt sleeves.

I started wearing solid color shirts, (not just plain T-shirts) instead of scrub tops. It solves the hair issue and is more comfortable.

Who says this?
Ive never been told I could or couldnt. Personally I dont care. Im a man. I have hair. Get over it.
Besides, look at the girls. They wear whatever they want. Long sleeve shirts under scrubs, turtle necks under scrubs, no scrub top at all but some other type of top, scrub jackets. All assortments of colors. Whether there is a dress code or not.
The only issue Ive heard of a facility having regarding scrubs are certain colors or patterns.
The unit I work in now doesnt allow cammo scrubs. Where can I find a set of these? :rotfl:

Maybe someone can provide the link to it, and you can revive it. :chuckle
