What is the point of a uniform?

I don't understand what the point is. Many nurses wear scrubs, whites, pants with polos, all colors, patterns, prints, animals, cartoon animals, many styles. Many nurses wear their personal jackets or sweat shirts over their tops. Why should we have to wear a uniform if some nurses even wear sweat pants???

I don't see anything wrong with a facility telling employees what to wear, either, but I do have opinions about it, and from a personal perspective, I don't care for it. If they actually had a vote tomorrow about it, I would say do away with them. I prefer solid colors, may it be pastel or otherwise. Maybe the jungle prints and denim scrubs can be done without, but again, to me, it is not just the uniform. I have seen neat, crisp nurses with the compassion of a viper snake.

well first thing first... they're for identification purposes... few don't comply though that's why others may feel like being deviant as well...

unfair though to those who wear appropriate uniform coz that cause them being unfashionable enough or some bucks for buying those(hospitals finance some, i think)yea... i know... Speak for myself!!!!
