In the beginning all nurses wore baggy white gowns with flaring white headdresses, just like nuns wore. However, nursing uniforms have truly evolved over the years and have becoming more and more unconventional, even being altered to use as sexy Halloween costumes. Even with the new styles and designer scrubs, the term “fashionable scrubs” still seems to be somewhat contradictory, though.
The hospital work environment is a very different work environment than most others and it is expected that the uniforms would be different, also. Still there is no reason to expect that fashion statements can only be made in office buildings. It wouldn’t be fair to nurses though and other medical personnel who want to be both fashionable and comfortable while working their long shifts.
