I wasn't plaaning on it. I get hot really easy! What are you guys wearing on the first night where it says business casual? Can we wear scrubs?

Im just going to wear scrubs. Im more comfy in them.

I used a white scrub jacket to go with my white scrubs. I wasn't cold but wanted the extra pockets.

I will be wearing a lab coat. I need the pocket space :-)

And who knows how the weather will be in upstate NY in September... anything colder than 75 is jacket weather for me!

I will be wearing a lab coat. I get cold easily as well. Most hospitals air conditioning is too cold for me. I can take it off if I am too hot. I don't want to think about being uncomfortable with the temp in the room. It will uncomfortable enough with a CE looking at me! And yes extra pocket space is good.

I agree with beach nurse and anjule! I live in Louisiana so 70s with a breeze and i might be a bit chilly! Ridiculous i know! Hospitals are usually freezing in my experiences and when i get really cold, i cant control the shaking! Once i went to see family in Oklahoma and it was literally 20degrees outside....i was shaking so bad from being cold- I looked like i was having a seizure!! AND i was on a date!! Lololol!! Lab coat it is!

I'm cold natured but I believe the extra adrenaline will cause me to feel warmer than usual. I'm usually cold at work but when I am in a really "think on your toes" situation, the jacket usually comes off. Besides when I do wear a scrub jacket I'm so clumsy that I get easily hung on the door handles. I think I'll forgo a jacket for the CPNE; less chance of me knocking things down in the lab. I do have cargo type scrub pants with extra pockets that I intend to wear.

I am not sure what I am wearing to the lab. I was going to send this question in my next 40 question e-mail, LOL. It says business casual but I can't imagine trying to pack that wound with high heels on :-) I would like to wear scrubs for all three days also.... still have to buy some white ones and some shoes, I don't have any. I think I am going to get the Grey's Anatomy kind, they are so comfy and they feel like jammies :-) I need a $$ tree.

I wore long sleeves under my scrubs, AND the scrub jacket. Had to make sure the tattoos were covered! :D I didn't get too warm, and I tested in June.

I have been holding off on getting the one I want on my wrist because of the CPNE LOL... I have a really big one on my back though, so I suppose I should wear a camisole under it just in case my white is see through enough and I take my lab coat off. We have to wear all black and dark blue at work, so I never really think about it.

I work in the butter soft scrubs from uniform advantage. Very comfy; I will be taking those with me.

Yeah, my white pants were pretty good at hiding the leg tattoos, until I crossed my legs and then realized you could see the one on the top of my thigh... lol!
