So, what color are your school uniforms?

I had figured that this might be an interesting topic of discussion.

What color are the uniforms that you all wear to clinical rotations? I currently attend an LPN-to-RN bridge program. The scrubs at the school that I currently attend are maroon. We have the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on cool days.

When I was attending an LVN program back in 2004 and 2005, our uniforms consisted of a royal blue scrub top and white pants. We also had the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on cold days.

Have no idea why they would choose white, it gets so dirty so fast

It is probably because the vast majority of the public still associates white uniforms with healthcare professionals (medicine, nursing, etc.).

We have to wear "true red" scrubs (top and bottom) to clinical and street clothes to class. I think it's to make it abundantly clear who the students are, because we sure stick out in a crowd. The hospital has color codes -- navy scrubs for nurses, teal scrubs for aids, grey for housekeeping/nutrition, and the doctors all wear green scrubs or professional clothes with a white lab coat.

I think the red scrubs are so your clinical instructor can spot your sneaking to go off to starbucks out the window easier

Our scrubs are all white with a small amount of blue and the school emblem. When at class, we have the option to wear a blue hooded sweater with the school emblem, but not during clinicals. The uniforms are HIDEOUS and huge lol... They make everyone look 20 lbs. heavier haha...

White tops with royal trim. White pants. Other days we can wear whatever colors we want. The funniest part was in order I have to cover my tattoo I have to wear a white turtle neck. I live in Texas so first I'm not sure where you even find a turtle neck, I am hoping that I might get by with a long sleeve shirt that is all white. I hate the idea of having a tight collar around my neck.
