Tee vs. No Tee

[Atlnurstudt]

Hey,

This is a bit of an odd question...

Do you usually wear a t-shirt under your scrub top? (I know you probably do during the winter, but what about during fairly warm/hot weather? I guess the temperature in the hospital remains fairly constant...or does it?

I'm wondering because I'm in the middle of purchasing scrubs for clinicals and I'm not sure what size to get. The small is too big, but the x-small may not be ideal to put a t-shirt under. (They're cheap so I could get the x-small and move to the small during the winter but I was wondering what you're thoughts were).

Thanks! :)

I am in the habit of wearing the small, fitted type t-shirts under my scrubs. I feel halfway naked if I put on a scrub top without one.

A few weeks ago a woman was working in my area and bent over while she was standing in front of me. I got an eyefull of EVERYTHING.....no t-shirt and NO BRA. :imbar :rotfl:

When I was in nursing school we had to wear these hideous maroon smocks over a white button down and white scrub pants. They covered almost everything, so when I got my 1st job on a peds floor I didn't think much about wearing tees. Well, I was bent over this 16yo boy trying my best to start his IV, when I heard him start to choke. I though he was just scared of the needle, but when I looked up I noticed where his eyes were...right down my top. Needless to say we were both very red faced :imbar I have worn a tee ever since.

I generally buy men's sleeveless t-shirts. They provide for modesty but don't make me too warm as they are very light-weight. Have also been known to use camisoles but they can get sticky in the summer time. The men's sleeveless tees work the best for me.
