For the new nurse coming into the business one of the most exciting things you get to do is to buy your first set of nurse uniforms. You have many choices to choose from and you have to decide what type of outfit you think you will be the most comfortable in. Of course you will first need to understand the dress code of the hospital or office where you got your job. So make sure you are clear about that first by either asking or observing others while you are in there getting interviewed for your job in the first place. So step number one is to understand what you can and can’t wear.
So now you know what your dress code is. In many cases you will have options. So next on your list to pick out your nurse uniforms is to know what the options are and decide what the pros and cons are of the options that you have to select from. You know what you are comfortable in so you should be able to pick out what you want as your own style fairly easily. In some cases it will be nurse whites, in some cases scrubs and in other cases it will be the hybrid nurse whites with scrub tops as the ultimate in comfort.
You know what style you think you will be comfortable in but now you have to figure out if that is reasonably and practical. Are you going to a position where you will need to carry a few things from patient to patient? If you are picking out an outfit that has no pockets is probably not wise. So think about what your day will be like and then apply that to the nurse uniforms that you select for yourself as you continue to narrow down choices.
Once you know for sure the style you are picking out now you have to figure out design and color. If you are going with nurse whites you get to choose between skirts, dresses and pants. The large majority of nurses who pick these for their nurse uniforms will pick the pants with the skirts and dresses no long being very popular. If you get to wear scrubs of the scrub top with the nurse pant white underneath you get to now decide what style of scrub top that you are interested as well as pattern and design.
The design or pattern of scrubs can be anything for cutesy patterns that will allow for a bit of individuality in what you wear to the drab blue or green if that is what you are interested in. The style of the top can vary greatly form gathered, to drawstring to tie around and you should pick whichever you think will allow for your greatest comfort. It is most important that you are comfortable and functional in the nurse uniforms that you decide upon. You will be wearing them for quite a few hours and the best thing that you can do is make sure that you like wearing them.
