What color scrubs do you wear?

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.

Always black pants - tops are black or a black and white-based print. No cartoons.

We don't have a color code at my facility.

I'm stuck wearing white, as long as I'm a student. I don't mind it, but everything shows on it.

We have to wear white on the top and either white or blue on the bottom. Every discipline has their own color. I makes it easy to get dressed for work. And it also looks nice IMHO. I did wear different patterns and colors when I worked in LTC. So this is a change for me.

We were hunter green pants during the week and top is our choice. Weekends is free for all, only on sat and sun. I try to keep it unique, but tasteful. It is fun to see everyone's personalty come out in their style of tops.

I wear everything solids top/bottoms, print tops buttons down in the front, and knit solid color tops. It depend what is clean and what mood I am in. Since I am a plus size person I have a lot of uniforms to last probably three mos. I only work 3 12's a week. So I love buying new scrubs and throwing old ones away especially the dull and faded colors. I try to stay neat as much as possible.

A lot of pink. I wear black, maroon, or pink pants. With patterned more fitted tops, I get lots of compliments. I have colorful socks, pink, red, turquoise, purple, green. I have cute little animal earnings that are also brightly colored, I coordinate them with my scrubs. Pink watch with some bling around it hehe. Silver shoes with pink highlights. Pink stethoscope. I'm pretty sure people know my favorite color. Trying to brighten my patients day! Work on a medical renal unit.

I never wear scrubs 'cause my gig doesn't require me to scrub in.

At my facility we are allowed to wear whatever color we like. I like solid tops and bottoms with a printed scrub jacket on top. I ALWAYS wear a jacket!

Med/Surg - ceil/white (tasteful prints for all), L&D - lavender/white, ICU- caribean blue/white , ER - wine/white, however it is all under debate/vote right now as apparently in the larger "mother ship" there have been 1 too many violations so we're "allowed" to vote on the new color, it's been narrowed down to 2, ceil blue and dark blue (not navy because radiology is navy :uhoh3: ) they need to decide soon because I've finally been able to put some weight on and need new pants, and I'm not buying more wine colored pants. most of my tops are white and are fitted in someway, the square 5 pocket just doesn't work for me, I lean over a patient and my scrub top is all into whatever I'm doing, which is a huge pain in the tuckus in the ER lol
