White pants. Freaking white pants.

Published

I just found out that my LPN program requires white pants and shoes with their uniform scrub top.

I have never in my life worn white pants for a whole lot of very good reasons.

Anyone have recommendations for white scrub pants that aren't see-through and that launder well/don't hold stains?

Maybe that's why we only have to get the uniform top from school but supply our own pants and shoes.

Gosh that sucks. Ours are royal blue! I did white scrubs in my last program. I would suggest wearing an old jacket, something you dont mind laying down so you can sit on it.

I attended an LVN program that required us students to wear white pants with our royal blue scrub tops. I dreaded that time of month because those white pants weren't capable of hiding any spots.

White brands that are not see-through include Urbane, Landau, Koi, Butter Soft, Barco, and Grey's Anatomy.

Omg I know! For my CNA program, we had white tops & bottoms it was horrific! I burned that scrub set seriously. We're a tank top or long sleeved t shirt or thermal shirt under the top. Flesh tones underwear for bottoms

We have to wear white pants at clinicals and I just wear legging With mines, the only thing is, when it's summer time you get a bit hot, another suggestion is make sure you double up on those special days if the month, because a girl had a big accident on the floor

When I was doing my CNA clinicals and classes, we had to wear white pants. I didn't think too much about it. I invested a little bit into the scrubs, to get a good quality pant, that wasn't see through. I still wore flesh colored or white underwear underneath the scrubs. It was never a problem for me, but now that I am a working CNA, I never wear them anymore. I can chose my own colors, and usually wear black scrub pants. White has a tendency to look "dingy" after awhile, no matter how much bleach you use.

Welcome to the party. Keep a tide pen or a pack of tide wipes to clean off anything that gets on them. And please, no polka-dot underoos.
