I found out today that our nursing uniform is white scrub pants (or a white skirt), a white polo shirt and a white smock/lab coat that has to be worn at all times. YUCK!! Plus, the polo shirt is pretty thick. Can anyone say heat stroke. I'm gonna melt and look ugly lol.
What do you wear to your clinicals?
For clinicals we have to have white scrub top and white scrub bottom with the school patch on the sleeve. For community, psych, and patient pick-up we have to wear a white or navy polo shirt (with school name on it), khaki pants, and a white lab coat with the school emblem on the sleeve.
We have a white polo or button up scrub top with a tie on the back of it. I have an expansive rear end and hate tucking in my shirt so I went with the tie back smock....not the smartest thing I ever did. Blue pants that you have to order in because they are not a true navy blue and a Meta lab coat. The top and the lab coat have our school name and logo monagramed (sp?) in blue. Plain white shoes no clogs or croc's must have a full back.
I guess it could be worse
I know now our uniforms are going to be all white. In an earlier post I explained that another person who will be attending ns with me in the fall told me specifically that our school uniform would be white scrubs among other erroneous information. The only thing that person got right was the colour. Prior to that post I posted about our uniforms being all white and scrubs! :doh: Thanks for the tips because I will need them.
Good thing I did indeed check with the school Admin for the program I am entering.
It turns out our uniforms will be white and what they look like I have no idea.
We recieve all our information on the first day of school. That's everything!
That's not much time to get all of our stuff for school IMHO.
White, white, and more white. Our tops are just regular white tunic scrub tops with the school's blue and gold patch on the arm. The scrub pants are plain white and shoes have to be white as well. Nothing is ugly and I can't really complain about the white yet (somehow I haven't gotten any nasties on my uniform yet). I find it all rather boring though so I jazz it up with my hot pink stethoscope and pink watch. :chuckle

I would love to have solid color scrubs. Our school is royal blue top and white pants, white shoes, royal blue lab coat with school patch on the arm. Now at first I thought it was bearable, until I realized that the volunteers at the hospital that we do our clinical at wear the same colors!!!!!!
