What do your school uniforms look like?

Perhaps this will turn out to be an interesting topic to discuss.

What color/style are the uniforms that you all wear (or have worn) to clinical rotations? I currently attend an LPN-to-RN bridge program. The scrubs at the school that I currently attend are maroon. They consist of a unisex tunic top and unisex bottoms. We have the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on cool days.

When I was attending an LVN program back in 2004 and 2005, our uniforms consisted of a unisex royal blue tunic scrub top and white pants. We also had the option of wearing a white warm-up jacket on cold days.

This is interesting.

I find it rather curious that no one has posted yet about having to wear white uniforms for their nursing program's clinical rotations. In my opinion, white uniforms used to be the classic mark of a nurse. I guess this concept has changed.

That's us...white. White top with blue piping and school logo on the pocket, white pants. The women's top pulls over the head, men's has a zipper. They are pretty bad :eek:

My school had white pants and blue top. Changed it due to the white being see through.

I also have to wear white scrubs! I don't like it at all. I know it's traditional and what not but geez everything gets on white! Our scrubs are not unisex and they are surprisingly cute. Our pants are somewhat flared :) We are also required to wear our school patch on our left sleeve. We get two patches for free and have to purchase the others. Our lab coats are also very feminine and require a patch as well. I am jealous of those who get to wear colored scrubs. It would be nice to not have to worry about constantly about wearing white!

This sounds a lot like the LVN/LPN program that I attended in southern CA. My classmates and I wore royal blue scrub tops and white bottoms. My white pants were see-through and it really showed if I was wearing the wrong type of panties.

ok i am going to date myself but back when i went to school, our uniforms were dresses. it was a green and white pinstripe, also it had to fall below our knee, we wore white( not nude) stockings and nursing shoes not sneakers and when we were in our 2nd year and we were "capped" we also wore our caps. which by the way we were extremely proud to wear.

Mines are cherokee uniform baby blue with our school's logo inscribed on the left side. They are a great brand, but they are little but too long! LOL! Better than some of the ugly ones I've seen.
