What do you wear?

very excited to start my new job as a home healthcare nurse. just wondering what the usual attire is? scrubs? business casual? shoes? tips? thanks to any help out there!

i work private duty 8 to 12 hour shifts and i wear jeans and a t-shirt with a nursing scrub jacket over the top 99% of the time. i do have some total scrub outfits i wear occasionally but i am most comfy in my jeans and t's with the scrub jacket over the top.

Never wear jeans anytime that you are functioning as a nurse! Wear nice fitting scrubs that match or business casual clothes that can be washed. You always want to look professional but appropriate.

I think it depends on the company you work for. One place I was at all the nurses wore scrubs (choice was scrubs or business casual, as it was a lot of wound cares, 99% choose scrubs). The place I'm at now, casual/jeans are the norm

Scrub-a-dub-dubs here. There's not really too much of a dress code (no jeans no shorts, no tanks), but I am lazy about fashion and scrubs are easy.

In the field, neat, clean, non-wrinkled, plain color scrubs with lab coat if it's chilly. In the office, professional business-casual attire. If I have to go out to the hospital or doctor's office, a white lab coat over my office wear with name tag.

I just started in home health. The dress code calls for street clothes (no blue jeans, shorts, or open-toed shoes) or scrubs. I wear street clothes.

Scrubs and tennis shoes. The agency I work for requires you to wear scrubs or dress clothes with a lab coat.
