Do doctors and nurses get to choose their color of scrubs?
Posted by: admin : Category: scrubs
I only have TV shows, really, as a guide, but it seems like doctors and nurses all wear different colored scrubs.
Is there some method or pattern, or do they get to wear whatever color strikes their fancy?
It depends on where they work. In some hospitals, like teaching hospitals, the doctors wear different colors based on how far along they are, such as interns, residents, etc. I think nursing students have to wear specific colors, in teaching hospitals, based on where they go to school. That way, they are easy to identify by color.
In regular hospitals, I think it varies. Most seem to have guidelines but they are pretty general.
