What color scrubs do you wear?

Updated:   Published

I love white scrubs. I think they make us look more professional and clean etc. I just hate the fact that you have to be very careful not to get them dirty.

I am just curious about the color scrubs that you wear in your floor and your opinion about them.

I apologize, if this thread already exists.

We use fob watches pinned to the uniform. Most modern obs machines count the pulse for us anyway.

At my facility the nurses have to wear royal blue or white or a combination of the two. We can wear whatever we want on "Spirit Days" ( the first Friday of every month) and holiday prints at appropriate times. We are allowed one ring on each hand, and we can wear wrist watches.

I wear solid Black Label Dickies in either lite blue, white or pink, with white Nike Air max sneakers and my grandaddies vintage watch. Sometimes if I'm feeling a little daring I wear my red Marni platform wedges and a handkerchief or a snood for that 40's pin up look. I'm in home health w/ one pt all day so no contamination worries on the head gear! I also wear nude nail polish and ruby red lips, no other makeup.

I wear hospital surgery scrubs (ciel blue), nurses wear solid navy, CNAs wear khaki, respiratory is maroon, radiology is teal, lab is royal blue. I am SO glad I'm not a CNA anymore, if for no other reason than to get away from the head to toe khaki. Yuuuuck.

I work in ltc and we are not allowed to wear solid colored scrubs ( I.e. all blue top and blue pants) due to it making the residents feel institutinalized. ( ex spelling). So I'm forced to wear prints or a colored piping. I hate printed scrubs but I guess I have no choice...

Just had a flash back lol... of a nurse working in a hospital, HE was wearing a black scrub top and bright hot pink bottoms and was like 6 feet tall.

I can wear business casual or ceil blue scrubs at one hospital. Other staff that wear scrubs have their own colors. At another hospital I can wear what I want, but choose to wear ceil blue or turquoise solids, never prints. I once tried to wear black pants with khaki tops, but the pants in that color didn't fit right so I couldn't wear them.

The Trust uniform (mandatory) of blue and white striped tunic trimmed at the collar, sleeves and pockets with dark blue piping and embroidered "NHS" logo on the right sleeve worn with dark blue pants.

No jewellery except wedding ring and plain stud earrings allowed, black shoes only.

Boring or what?

Sounds like boot camp!

My final nursing job before my stroke, was a state psych hospital. RNs wore either tan slacks or cargo pants and a navy polo with the hospital logo, or navy slacks or cargo pants with a tan polo shirt. Psych aides wore jeans with any t-shirt without a slogan or anything controversial on it.

I'm still wearing those cargo pants almost a decade later!:D

I volunteer in the ER and we wear white scrubs. I do agree, I love the uniform color system. The RN's here where a wine/burgundy color. Even though patients may not understand the color system, it helps me out a lot in contacting the appropriate person.
