Work Attire...

Published

What do you wear to work? Your own scrubs that you bought, or does your facility provide you with a set or two?

Oh and does your facility require you to wear a certain color set of scrubs?

Everyone in my facility buys their own. Nurses wear all white and aides wear whites with teal green tops. Dietary has cranberry or pink tops and PT wears tan slacks with black shirts.

Every facility has it's own set of rules. Some (not many) reimburse you for uniforms. Most times everyone buys their own scrubs. Some places require that dietary wear cranberry scrubs and housekeeping would wear blue or black scrubs. I have worked at 3 facilities in my lifetime. At the places I worked, only dietary and housekeeping had to wear certain colors. It really depends where you work. Many places, such as hospitals have a uniform policy.

We buy our own scrubs and we can wear whatever colors or prints we want. The facility also gives out tee shirts every now and then, and we can wear those instead of a scrub top.

At my hospital system we have a color codes for your position. Nurses wear white or blue, CNA/PCT's where hunter green, LAB wheres maroon, Respitory care wheres black. We use to be able to where whatever we wanted too but they say this makes us more identifiable by our positions as to what scrubs we are wearing. I had some really cool colors too. :(

We can wear whatever we want as CNA's. Nurses can also wear anything.

Every place I've worked has allowed any color, except for the first one. They required us to wear blue....and more blue....and even more blue.......I didn't even want to buy blue clothes the whole time I worked there.

I work in home health. The acceptable attire is business casual, with an optional white lab coat, if you do intermittent visits. Or regular medical scrubs or nursing uniforms. I do extended care and wear scrubs. I could wear street clothes if I wanted to, but I find scrubs to be more comfortable. The agencies frown upon jeans, but many nurses will wear jeans if they don't get caught. Sometimes an agency will allow jeans if you work night shift.
