Hi Everyone,Besides white scrubs,I was wondering what you all thought the worst scrub color that you have ever had to wear as a nurse? And this can be for any reason... whether it makes you feel silly, reminds you of something gross, or makes you feel unattractive, reminds you of a past employer where a different occupation was assigned that color, etc.. Feel free to take the poll.Thanks! Edited Oct 19, 2018 by RNliveoak 0 Likes

The worst color I've ever seen required is an electric blue color that the ICU required. Fortunately I worked in CCU where the color required was a lovely teal. 0 Likes

Or, was anything confusing about the questioning? Thank you for responding anyways! I personally dislike royal blue because that was my nursing school's uniform color. 0 Likes

I normally wear black, teal-green, olive green, or blue. I did like my nursing school color which was maroon pants. I am not a fan of any white either. 0 Likes

Death called - He wanted the uniform back...We wear black and I quite like it :)Of course, it's used in combination with red and gray so no one actually has to wear all black. But I mostly do.My husband on the other hand can't get used to the idea of a nurse in black scrubs! 1 Likes
