What your scrubs say about your personality

4. Unisex Uniform

What these scrubs say about you: I’m a no-nonsense nurse who wants to be judged on the quality of my work, not on my looks. Scrubs are a uniform and they perform a function. Most of us have two arms, two legs and one head. Why can’t everyone just wear the same thing at work? Don’t waste my time with frivolous chitchat.

5. Contrasting Solids

What these scrubs say about you: I don’t want to wear the same thing every day. At the same time, I’m not ready to take the leap and start wearing printed scrubs. On a good day, my color combos make me look vibrant and put together. On a bad day, you wonder if I just rolled out of bed and pulled mismatched scrubs from my closet because nothing else was clean.

6. Hearts and Flowers

What these scrubs say about you: My scrubs may seem a little warm and gooey sometimes, but I’m the nurse you want by your side when you’re having a rough day. Those pretty hearts and flowers are like a sign that says “Compassion dispensed here.” I’m not afraid to show my softer side.

    It seems that as a patient it’s hard to tell by their uniforms who is a nurse, PCA,.transport, etc. You have to look at their ID. As a nurse, I Studied long and hard to become a nurse. I want patients to know I’m a nurse by the uniform I wear. I combine 2 of the above catagories when it comes to my uniform. I am a pediatric Homecare Nurse. I lik e to wear bright, cheerful scrub tops for the obvious reason of working with children, but also because I like them. I wear spotless white uniform pants because I want people’s first impression to be that I am a nurse I also wear white shoes. White also gives people the idea of a clean sterile environment which is something everyone wants when it comes to their healthcare. In my opinion, all nurses should wear more white than color.
