uniforms

RedWeasel, RN · Jun 23, 2007

At our hospital nurses have to wear some white at all times. White top coat and/or pants. CNAs must wear matching tops and bottoms in some green color (any green solid) or tan. And any type jacket (not white), problem is we have transporters who take pts to radiology and tx and they were green shirts and white pants! I think the CNAs should be able to wear any matching top and bottom in solid color (ie red top and bottom and flower jacket.). I mean I hope they like green. If they want us to be recognizable to pts they need the AMY RN on BOTH sides of our name badges because I remember how frustrating as students it was just trying to find my primary nurse the first day of a clinical rotation-all their badges were turned around so we had to ask every nurse what their name was-I can only imagine how it is for our pts.

At our hospital, nurses wear either all white or white and navy (not all navy). The CNAs wear teal green, secretaries wear burgundy, respiratory royal blue....I like it better this way and the patient's know who's who.
