Nurse Scrubs Uniforms
![]() |
During the summer of 1969, when thousands of young people held an outdoor rock concert in New York State, the nature of most nurse uniforms contrasted markedly with the attire worn by the music-loving concert goers. At that time, the majority of nurses wore white uniforms. Moreover, one seldom saw a nurse who had chosen to wear pants, instead of a dress.
Five years later, in 1974, a woman who had been hospitalized in 1969 found herself back in the hospital. That same woman noticed that nurse uniforms had undergone a number of marked changes. Before the halfway point of the 1970s, nurses discovered that they could perform the regular duties much easier by wearing pants, instead of a dress. By 1974, a hospital patient saw more nurses wearing pants, than nurses attired in some type of uniformly designed dress.
By 1974, a hospital patient saw a good deal more color, when a health professional entered the room. By 1974, nurses had chosen to focus on style as well as comfort. They wore pants and tunics in various colors. Some of the colorful tunics even had a simple design.
Some patients objected to the colorful uniforms. They found it difficult to locate a nurse, when they could not just look for someone dressed all in white. Yet by 1974, a patient could not really look to just any nurse for help. By 1974, nurses, like doctors, had begun to "specialize."
Still, the color of the nurse uniforms revealed nothing about the nature of the tasks that were to be handled by any one particular nurse. On the other hand, the colorful uniforms did eliminate one concern that had plagued nurses of an earlier era. The colorful pant costumes did not show dirt and stains. Thus nurses worried less about making their uniforms dirty, and they focused more on doing their assigned duties.
In 1974, the visitor to a hospital patient in Houston, Texas observed changes in more than nurse uniforms. She also saw more patients on the lower floor. She would see patients in their bathrobes walk around on the ground floor. Maybe that was a silent protest against the absence of white uniforms for nurses.
Not every patient realizes that the color and style of a nurse uniform must be secondary to the behavior of the nurse who wears that uniform. A dependable nurse should demonstrate dedication and discipline in everything that he or she does. Few patients would question the attire of a truly dependable nurse.
In the summer of 1972, there was a nurse at Philadelphia's Hahnemann Hospital who would put in 8 hours on one floor, and then another 8 hours in the intensive care unit on another floor. She did that for several days in a row. Why would anyone feel it proper to question her choice of uniform? One might, if fact, wonder if that young lady did not need to possess a closet full of nurse uniforms. She had no time for doing laundry.
