The Difference between "Scrub" pants and "uniform" pants?

[DesertRain]

My school uniform is requiring us to wear "uniform" pants...no further explanation other than "no scrub pants, no drawstrings".....

My question?

What is the difference?

As a CNA student I had Dickies pants that were elasticized waistband...these were considered "uniform pants" (the program was at the same college I am taking my ADN at) but the same pants in "white" for the ADN program are found in the "scrubs" section of the uniform stores....

So what the h-e-"double hockey sticks" is a girl to do about this?

(As if the see-thru-ness of white pants isn't big enough of a problem to deal with)

TIA!

Great! I will definitely go look for some neutral color Hanes! What I would probably have to do is get one pair first and make sure they are comfy and then buy them in bulk! Wal-Mart, here I come!

I might also invest in some support hose in neutrals too...I probably won't even think about wearing them until mid-November (I live in Las Vegas... approaching fall we are still battling triple-digit temperature) but it does get cold enough to wear them later on closer to winter.

I also read on another post that those support hose and leggings totally help with varicose veins and sore muscles and I would love that.

OH, and about the comfy Hanes...I bought a few when I was pregnant and on those days when you feel just a bit heavier than normal...I run for those panties before anything else!

Thanks for the help guys and the laughs

Looking at a pack of 6 white briefs (fruit of the loom I think) - just got them at Walmart a few days ago- tried a pair on- hate them!- but will wear them under my white pants- No way I would be wearing a thong under my clinical pants- I want a full second layer of protection between hospital germs and any open orifices.

I wear granny panties to work. I wouldn't want a thong up my butt when I'm rolling, changing, transfering, etc. a pt.

Peaches makes a very nice white uniform pant that is no iron, and non-see through. It has a regular waist position, with a wide band elastic, The legs are straight and neat looking, but are never too tight, regardless of what position I have to get into.
