You need to look at a Smart Scrubs and/or allhearts.com. They have great scrubs for men. You almost sound sexist in your article. Men can wear prints and can mix and match. Get over it. I wore natural scenes, wild life scenes, holiday scenes. Crocs are great to wear to work and offer a variety of colors. Have fun at work. It is hard being a nurse, relax and wear what is comfortable and makes YOU feel good. Have clean clothes, bath and I agree, cover the tats and leave jewelry at home. Speak clearly and professionally. This is how you make a professional impression. Not if you are wearing white or blue clothes.

I am a large guy andf really don’t wearing scrub trousers. I prefer kakies or dockers or solid color combat type pants with multiple pockets with a solid color scrub top. This eliminates the seetru look and has a more natural fit as well as giving storage access for note books, stephascopes and other tools. also keeps cell phones & PDA’s out of sight.

Just a comment – my mom called eveyone a nurse while in the hospital, and again, when she received home care. It wasn’t that she couldn’t tell an RN from a Home Health Aide because they did not wear different colored scrubs. It was because, to her, ANYONE taking care of her was a “nurse” and deserved respect. Maybe this white scrubs idea is really for us, and not for the patient – they don’t really care, they just want to be taken care of.
Another point, guys, for men’s scrubs, try Sassy Scrubs. They have “mens prints” and custom make scrubs with inseams to 38″ for you tall guys…

Help me understand something will somebody. My facility is going into the color dress code for different areas. They say it’s so people can tell the difference between nurse and the cna. Now the facility is having there nurses wear dark blue scrubs the aides light blue scrubs. What I don’t get is that alot our patients/residents have some kind of memory difficulty.So a nurse or aide goes into a room the patient has a problem. You may ask the patient if they had mentioned it to anyone.The patient says yes I told the girl in the blue scrubs. Here we go again. I thought the reason we are doing this is to tell us apart.

Right now my choice is completely limited- I have to wear solid purple scrubs for my clinicals while I’m in school. Purple is University of Portland’s school color. At first I wasn’t too thrilled about it- but now that I’m really starting to get into my program I feel a sense of school pride wearing my “wild grape” colored scrubs with my school patch on the sleeve.

What is wrong with making your own Scrubs? At least tops? I mean we are nurses. Sewing machine can’t be that hard to work? Beats needle and thread. And I am not above begging my wife to put something together for me that is at least stylish too. Solid prints are boring but until I can make this bobbin work. I guess that is what I am stuck with.

I don’t agree about not mixing solid color scrubs. It add’s a bite of variety. I use bottom colors that you would normally find in regular pants; khaki, brown, olive etc. then pair the tops up with a solid color “shirt”. The Cheeroke style 4000 works good for this. To me they are about as close as you can get to a real pair of pants. BOB

I am a male home health aide in Connecticut. I find that star trek has better male uniforms then we have for scrubs. dont get me wrong i like the two piece scrubs just not the colors and what not that males have. i have seen more then one style of male shoes, so you may not be looking in the correct places. crocs has shoes with out holes for medical personal.
i dont like the scrubs with only one best pocket and all the spots scrubs i have seen are that style. Dickies has some multi-color male scrubs but are still the one best pocket style and not the style with the pockets shown by the waist on both sides in front. not sure what they call that. seems like women have funner choises with scrubs when if they dont want cartoon pints. men get the short straw it seems.
