Scrubs with designs or scrubs of a solid color?

Specializes in Palliative Care.

I work on a Medical Specialties unit and we're allowed to wear whatever we'd like. I'm a huge fan of colorful patterned scrub tops, especially batiks. I've gotten a lot of positive comments from co-workers and patients - I think a bit of cheer does everyone good :-)

We are color-coded. It makes it a pain if you have to switch jobs later on down the line. Usually people give away the scrubs.

My facility lets us wear any kind we want. I prefer print scrubs. I just ordered some and can't wait to wear them at my new job!
