We have specific brands/styles and colors that we need to wear, and have to buy them at a specific local shop. I paid about $90 for 2 pants, 2 tops and a lab coat (and 3 patches were included in that cost -- one for each top and the coat).

my uniform was 235

2 pants Cargo

2 shirts

2 pins

2 badges

Some people in my program just picked up pants from a uniform store for 10$ and one shirt. I was the idiot that bought my books from a previous edition and save 800$, yet it had all the same material

$30 for a set of scrubs w/ engraving. Nursing clothes are gag-worthy, I don't bother with the extras (lab coats, multiple sets).

You view that stuff as extra?

We are required to get the coat...that over business casual is what we have to wear when we do our patient lookups. And without 2 sets of our uniform, we would have to do laundry after a long day of clinical and lab since our clinical days are back to back. Ugh...I couldn't imagine!

Yes I do. Obviously I know people have different schedules and priorities. Why would a coat be required? Most nurses at my clinical site do not wear a coat, neither do students. I think I've seen one student with a lab coat. I just wear a long-sleeve underneath my scrubs. I only have a set of scrubs because my clinicals were never back-to-back.

Here, if the school uses stock scrubs of a certain color, without any embroidering, it's about $12 or $13 for either pants or shirt, and the jacket is more, maybe $18 or $20. The schools use $100 as an estimated total cost for the student uniforms, and then the school hands out the embroidered patches that students must sew or have sewn on their uniforms. That's a pretty fair deal, I think. That also gives you the option to replace a piece that gets worn or damaged, and just move the patch to the replacement garb.

But if the school uses uniforms that are specially embroidered, that really drives up the cost of the uniform. If the school orders then resells them to you, that also gives them an additional markup.

Our shoes have to be predominantly white. Now, if you have white athletic shoes wit a little color, there are paints (shoe dyes) that you can get at shoe shops to cover up that color with white and then touch up as needed. Tarrago is supposed to be good -- it's used by roller derby skaters and other skaters. tarrago The Angelus leather paint there should also work.

For re-whitening white leather shoes, you want to use those paint-type dyes and not just glop white shoe polish on there.

I guess you didn't read my post. I said that we had to wear them over business casual clothes to do our pt lookup for clinical.

And I understand only having one set if your clinicals aren't back to back, but at my school, they are, and there's no way of getting around that so only having one uniform would be a mistake.

depends on the brands of scrubs you buy. My uniforms are hideous - our tops are polos! ours are all navy blue and we also have a white polo top that was meant to be used in our community health rotation and also for our College of Nursing special events (such as visitation days, sophomore orientation, etc). I bought 2 navy polos, 1 white polo (all with patches on the left sleeve), 2 scrub jackets (by Landau) and 2 scrub pants by Dickies + shoes that totaled close to $150 :/

I just got the order form for mine....starting in Feb. Scrubs, tops $18, bottoms $19 , so $37 a set, and they recomend getting 2 sets....then labcoat is $18, and warm-up coat is optional, but recomended, and is $20, so $112 for everything, but could do $55 if only get one set and the labcoat. Those include patches on the scrub tops, and monograming on the labcoat and warm-up.....oh and its ALL white

However, other then first 8 weeks, we do 2 days of clinicals back to back, so would have to wash and iron them the night of first clinicals, to have them for the next, why they recomend 2 pairs.

Labcoat for us is required because if you are in the hospital not in scrubs, the requiered dress code is buisness attire, with a lab coat.
