Of Going Back To Whites
Starting July this year, some 7000 healthcare workers will start to shelf their most loved cartoon character imprinted medical scrubs and fashionable medical apparels and accessories as one hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah implemented a rule banning any inappropriate apparels to be used in hospitals. That being said, several practitioners had expressed dismay over what seems to be a conservative hospital rule. The University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics adopted a rather specific dress code that does not allow denim skirts, faded corduroy pants, sequined tops, baggy tops, bigger that 1.5 hoop earrings, and several more apparels and accessories.
Some nursing forums and online social venues always have topics about uniforms, scrubs, the gadgets and all. And one of the debatable topics oftentimes has something to do with the conventional white uniform sets with matching caps against the modern and hip medical scrubs. More often, many nurse, especially those new ones, sided with using the now conventional scrubs as their uniform by advancing its benefits like comfort, easy to clean, and ease to use. This made a little rough opposition to those who prefer whites by saying that their choice of traditional uniforms will base their professionalism and identity.
Going back to Utah, the same reasons were shot up by the hospitals administration. Primarily, it is about providing an environment to patients wherein they will feel comfortable and confident that they are taken care of capable hands instead of that nurses' comfort.
"It's a reflection that we take our job seriously," the hospital spokesman Chris Nelson said in the Deseret News report. "It's hard to keep that faith in your care provider if the nurse is wearing SpongeBob SquarePants Dickies scrubs."
According to the same report, the provisions in the new dress policy do not come from administrators of the hospital rather been combed from the employees. It also state that it took about 2 years before the new dress code has been finally adopted. However, the specific provisions particularly those with regard to the type of apparel, texture, or color that are accepted were not from employees but requested to be included by managers as according to their judgment. The managers thought that the old provisions are "vague and inconsistent" thus needed to be changed.
"I would sometimes see folks with ripped, holey clothing that might be stylish in a different setting, or they'd be at a counter, showing cleavage," Julie Schmidt, RN manager of the emergency department and who served on the dress code committee stated the report. "Or people who like to wear their slippers or flip-flops."
The new policy will also categorize the department according to colors. All nurses will use white tops medical scrubs or uniforms with red, navy or black pants. Those assigned in the pharmacy will be wearing olives while EMTs and nurse assistants will be the ones flaunting with red, navy or black scrubs. To make sure this coding will be obeyed, charts are provided in every nursing room.
The main reason for these changes is actually decades old. The identity of a nurse is often compromised and many non-medical hospital employees are often attributed by patients being nurses or doctors. So to bring back the orderliness, the code is set to fully be enforced this July.
