Does anyone like their uniform? I find my uniform top to be one of the most uncomfortable and unflattering things ever made.

Seriously I look like a love seat in the thing.

Lol, wow, everyone seems to have different color scrubs. Ours are just...all white! Top, bottom, and shoes. The most white I've ever worn at once, except for my wedding day. I think I look weird in white but they're not that bad. I guess I just have to get used to them! And the brand...isn't like scrub material, it's like a cotton material. I guess mine aren't as bad as some others :)

I hate them, hunter green everyday. Not to mention, not flattering at all. Luckily, I recently found some better shaped ones. The others look like a potato sack. I wish we could at least wear whatever color we want, with flowers and what not.

Ours aren't bad. They are purple (our schools colors are purple and yellow) and they have the school crest on the front pocket. I havent started yet and I really hope they let us wear a 3/4 sleave under the shirt. I have tattoos that I want to cover while working.

RN students: white top with patch on sleeve, royal pants, white leather impermeable shoes, white socks, and royal scrub jacket with patch on sleeve and school on left chest

BSN (phased in): We get to pick between a pullover v-neck or a snap down v-neck. They look very similar except the buttons. I chose the snap down because it gives a better shape. We also had six different style pants to choose from. I chose one of the flare legs.

ASN (phasing out): They had to wear this horrible snap-down tunic that had a collar with pants that had a pleat going down the front of the leg.

The LPN students are the same as the RN students except their tops are also royal. They look like blueberries.

I'm happy with my uniform. :-)

At least you guys get to wear pants! At my school, many years ago, we had to wear blue and white pinstripe DRESSES with white stockings and white shoes (no athletic-type shoes.) Stupid white cap (but getting our black RN stripe was fun) and absolutely no nail polish, earrings, necklaces; we could only wear a simple wedding band without stones. Hair had to be "put up" off the shoulders. The dress even had a white apron thing over the front, so we looked like waitresses. (Actually quite fitting, today, huh?) Knee-length lab coats. We weren't allowed to use calculators. I must say, I can't imagine wearing anything but white underpants under white pants, tho.

My school went through some uniform changes over the past two years. Origonally it was an all white uniform with the SON seal on the left arm sleeve. Women were required to either wear a scrub dress or a white top/skirt version of the uniform. Men had a white top and white pants.

Then they moved onto burganday colored bottoms, white button front top the school seal still on the sleeve; but with some extra nifty ribon sewn on the cuff of each arm sleeve. Women had a choice of skirt or scrub pants at this point.

Finally we're at all burgandy modern scrub pants and top. I think they are hideous, and I'm glad I've graduated and taken the boards. The only thing I liked about them were the amount of (huge, nearing on black hole storing proportions) pockets the top had (four), plus two pockets on the pants.

Royal blue scrub top and pants, white shoes. They are comfortable, no complaints

Ours are a teal top with white pants and all white shoes. Anything we wear underneath have to be all white as well such as a tank or long sleeve shirt if we get chilly. We aren't allowed to wear anything over our top.

I truly hate some of you. My school uniform is all-white. ALL. WHITE.

And almost see-through, too.

The top is this jacket type thing (cardigan? i dunno) with a collar and 4 pockets, the pants are just a generic pair of white pants that are uncomfortable and have no useful pockets at all.

I don't love my uniform but it could be worse!

We have to wear white scrub bottoms, a light blue polo shirt with the school emblem, and a white nursing vest over that. I hate the vest it reminds me of the smocks I used to wear in elementary school for art class.

They only time we wear our uniforms is for clinicals.
