Our dress code was recently changed to allow only scrub jackets to be worn. I work night shift and a lot of us would typically wear zip up sweaters/jackets (not hoodies) because it gets so cold at night. We even turn the heat up to the 80s but it doesn't get warm enough til almost change of shift. Scrub jackets absolutely aren't an option for me bc they do nothing whatsoever. I already wear thermal tops under my scrubs. Are there any thick/heavy/warm scrub jackets?? I've been looking but unable to find any, so I'd appreciate some help!

BUT since this is a scrub/scrub company, I wonder if I could get away with that lol.
