What does your uniform look like?

Published

I just got my uniform the other day, and went with my friend to get hers yesterday...

We have white Landau tops and lab coats, and Caribbean blue Cherokee pants:

We also have to wear all white shoes...leather sneakers are recommended, and shoes with holes in the top such as Crocs are not allowed.

It's not bad as far as uniforms go...but it's not the best. The tunic top looks awful on me because I have a short torso, so it just engulfs me...but oh well.

What do you have to wear?

Let's just say I look like a giant Smurfette.

Our uniform is all Landau royal blue. The girls can wear the mens' pants which is WAY better than what we are supposed to wear. A super taped pant with a front seam and elastic waist is just wrong. We have to wear white, all leather tennis shoes or Danskos w/ a back. I wore my white shoes one semester then I wore a mostly white running shoe. I am soooo much happier. Our teachers really don't care much past the first semester about your shoes but they should be mostly white at least.

Our school is trying out a new style this year. Our tops are hunter green and have like a mock wrap around front and tie in the back. The piping around the neck, tie and the inside of the pockets are a lighter green. Our pants are like a super flair in White. I like the style but I feel like we have to many colors going on LOL, i think the pants should have matched the contrast color of the top!

Ours are true/cardinal red tops and bottoms (any brand and style) with white lab jackets and all white leather shoes. We have to have our school patches sewn on our tops and lab jackets 3" below the sleeve seam. And our student IDs. I just got regular Cherokee v-neck scrub tops with double pockets and the bottoms with the half elastic/half drawstring waist. I really wanted Landau, but the scrub store didn't have any pants to match the top that had the right waist (they only had full elastic).

I lucked out. We have to wear navy scrubs - whatever brand/style that we like, with our school patch sewn onto the left sleeve of the top. We can wear whatever mostly white shoes we want, just no crocs with holes on the top. They recommend all leather nursing shoes, but we're allowed to wear athletic shoes if we want. I'm very grateful for my uniform!

I'm so glad that we don't have white pants! I don't think I could handle that much see-throughness. Our shirts are definitely see-through, so I need to stock up on some black camis. (And yes, I do mean black, and not white or "nude" because I'm African American, so white is the most obvious neutral color, and "nude" on me is always almost just as bad a white since it's only "nude" for people who aren't people of color.)

I forgot to say we have to have our school patch sewn onto our tops and lab coat. Right on the left hand side of the chest.

We're in Cherokee Hunter Green, top and bottom. The top is embroidered with our school's logo and we have to wear the white shoes, too.

If you like the comfort of Crocs, they do make solid top ones. That's what I wear for mine. I wanted something comfortable and cheap, as I don't expect to be wearing pure white shoes once I start working.

we wear a blue polo with the schools name embroidered on it, with white scrub pants, i think they have to be landau, but theres three different options of pant styles, and one of them is a junior fit (thank god, i dont want to wear the tapered ones ;]).. we also have to get a lab coat with the patch sewn on, and an optional warm up jacket.. i dont understand the warm up jacket. if im cold, why dont i just wear my labcoat?

here is a picture from the school website of a student in the uniform. lol

We have an all white uniform. They are not particular about the brand but it must be white and plain. Straight leg pants (no flair), v neck tunic (no buttons, ribbons, etc), white shoes (no open heal style), lab coat, we can wear a scrub jacket if we want. All tops need to have our patch on left hand sleeve. I just bought my uniform yesterday and I hate it. Ugh.

one word...PURPLE

Our school divides its students (allied health,LPNs, and RNs) by scrub color.

Allied Health I think wear wine or burgandy

LPN's sea green or foam

and the RNs wear (bright) purple scrubs...my kids keep telling me I look like a walking. talking grape. We are collectively addressed by instructors and other students as "The Purple People"
