What do you wear to work?

Just curious, do you wear hospital or personal scrubs to work?

I wear personal scrubs. At the hospital I work at only the people working in the Core(surgical Dept.) wear Hospital scrubs, But I've job shadowed at a small hospital wear the ED staff wear hospital scrubs.

I wear personal scrubs, we have scrubs for staff if wanted but i rarely seem people wear them.

I wear the hospital scrubs. Technically, we're not supposed to wear them outside the hospital, but everyone does.

In L&D, we're required to wear the hospital scrubs. For mother/baby, we can wear our "own" scrubs (I put that in quotes because it's still a dress code - royal blue with blue or black pants).

I wear my own...must be navy blue. The only ones wearing hospital scrubs are L&D. :)

I was hired on at a hospital that has L&D and Mom/Baby on the same floor. The director told me that I could possibly have both types of patients at the same time. I was told the dress code was any kind of scrubs. I haven't started yet, so I don't know if they change clothes or not. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. I start work in a few weeks. :)

Mother/baby, nursery, and antepartum (combined into one unit) wear their personal scrubs. L&D wears hospital supplied scrubs.

Hopital scrubs. But we are allowed to carry in and change into our personal scrubs if we need to. Some of the nurses are very sensitive to the detergents from the hospital scrubs and as long as we don't wear them in/out we can wear our own. Almost everyone wears the hospital ones though...icky green ones.

Hospital scrubs. We change when we get to and leave work. I would like to be able to wear my own because being a male nurse they really don't stock enough scrubs in my size.

Job number one were were allowed to wear personal scrubs. Hospital #2 was hospital provided scrubs.

I wear my street clothes to work and change into the scrub attire that they provide for us in the locker room. I think that people should not wear scrubs outside of work, it is very unsanitary. I sometimes see that women wear their scrubs at the grocery store or even the mall! Ick! If they are trying to show a sense of pride, wear your college alumni sweatshirt! Other than that, leave the scrubs for the patients in the hospital to see!
