What does your nursing uniform look like?

Published

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.:o I'm gonna melt and look ugly lol.

What do you wear to your clinicals?

Any white scrubs. White shoes, no clogs or canvas. Our school nursing student patch on our left sleeve, on ID badge. White knee length lab coat with dress clothes for on clinical site days where we aren't doing hands on work.

Our scrubs are a royal (SMURF) blue. We're already planning a "Smurfs" theme for graduation. :uhoh3:

Hah..we're smurfs too! Blue scrubs, white shoes. :) I call us the "smurf brigade" when we walk down for our lunch break during clinicals. :lol2:

Hello,

mine is a very boring white uniform (jacket + pants) with a very nice (I am being ironic) peached-colored stripe on both pockets. It has been imposed by the school. I look like a baker's wife, more than a student in nursing school !

At our nursing college the uniform is wine coloured trousers with a cream shirt inside and a matching wine coloured short sleeved blazer with six gold buttons down the front on top of that and a name tag with the college symbol, black shoes and socks...lol...yeah besides the fact that we totally melt coz the material is so hot people find it hard to believe that we're student nurses...once a patient asked one of my friends if we were management students doing a survey at the hospital....the embarassment!!!

I'm so jealous of the people who can wear colored scrubs. I'm morally opposed to wearing all white, especially white pants. lol

yep, mine is all white too. the only little bit of color is the maroon trim around the sleeves and our school patch on the left shoulder. luckily, the material on the pants is pretty heavy, so you don't have to worry about being able to see through them. :mad:

Let me guess......you graduated from RSCC in Tennessee! LOL :lol2:

Blahhh you guys that get to wear anything you want are lucky!! I have to have:

white shoes (if it has color, it has to be a LITTLE bit of it)

white scrub pants

white scrub top

white lab coat --3/4 length

I went to a scrub shop yesterday but ickkk couldn't find any pants that I liked. I don't start class until Aug. 28th, but I just want everything done now! lol.

I have clinicals once a week and that's when I'll be wearing my white uniform. I have to buy one burgundy uniform for maternity rotation but that's the second semester (don't know if it'll be spring 2007 or spring 2008). Anyway! That's what I get to wear! :lol2:

I don't actually have to wear a uniform for school because I'm doing my course via correspondence. I get to do my clinical at work so I get to wear my uniform which is a Navy blue fitted blouse with that has red diamonds on it and the company logo on my left sleeve, my name badge which has my full name and PCA on it (personal care assistant), Navy blue pants or skirt and Navy blue leather lace up shoes with no heel. And my hair has to be tied back which I usually put into a pony tail.

Ours just changed...we still wear the white pants and the knee-length lab coat, but we are going to be wearing tunics instead of scrub tops...we can either get button-up or zip up tunics...and they are alot more flattering, I think, than scrub tops.

I was pleased with the change.
