Never mind ugly... some of these are just not functional or safe.

[@andynonymous6769]

Yeah like the last one that looks like a nurse from world war 1. Those sleeves would get in everything! And the dress drags along the ground. So unhygienic

[@mollyhurst5556]

Right. My point exactly! How many times are you in a position, like, running, lifting, in the floor etc.... how is a skirt good for those activities?

[@amandabrynn6853]

The fact that these ladies and gentlemen still choose to go to nursing school even tho they have to wear these terrible uniforms.... they should get an extra degree or award or something. That’s sacrifice and dedication, to endure the humiliation of wearing these!! And to think I complained about my school’s uniform... never again will I complain 🙃

[@zanelomatski7024]

Amanda Brynn I used to complain about my uniforms not anymore.

[@caribaez5711]

It’s 2019. People study medicine for others reasons than just “helping” Back then, to be a nurse was a Vocation. You didn’t give up easily because you knew you wanted to be a nurse no matter what it was.

[@paigeandcedsister]

everyone is wearing the same thing a uniform won't get you a job

Where on earth was this nursing school?

[@rosegroshek1218]

Nursing school policy is that the scrubs can’t be too fitting (can’t be flattering or hug our curves) but yet the hospital policy says they can’t be too baggy or loose. I lost 50 lbs and couldn’t really figure out my size yet and I got yelled at for baggy scrubs at work.

[@amycampbell2264]

Hey but you lost 50 lbs… rock on…

can we find out what the school for that last one was????? we need to start a write-in campaign to help these poor souls.

[@maraberghmans]

I read somewhere that in Russia, a lot of hospital and nursing school are funded by orthodox church so the nurse kept the original scrubs to play tribute to it. It could be that because it really looks like Russian scrubs

[@kelly1827]

The last one has to be an infection control nightmare, seriously. How could you properly hand wash? Bare below the elbows? And what sort of just plain old dirt do skirts that long track from room to room?

[@katiebelle5405]

I am grateful that my school uniforms actually look nice.

[@tomwessling7065]

I went to school at the University of Miami in the early 1970s. We were so excited because we were some of the first student nurses to be able to wear pants. It was also the time of knit polyester (anyone remember men’s leisure suits?). So our school had bright highlighter yellow knit polyester dresses or the choice of pant suits with a tall nurses’ cap with the UM script emblem and orange and green stripes (our school colors). Sorry I don’t have a picture but by today’s standards this would be as bad as it gets. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m retired now - nurse Pam

I’d like to know what school wears a full length dress in 2019? Think this may have been a dress up for the history of nursing as it is in color and this uniform was worn in the early 1900s!

[@inalaska1208]

I seriously wonder if they are nun nurse's because we have a Catholic hospital that gets a few nun nurses still and they were dresses very close to the last girls a tiny bit more fitted you could see she had shoes.

[@RebeccaNM456]

[@susanjacomb9614]

I remember in NZ in the early 90s the charge nurse wore that all blue one and I initially thought she was the cleaner...not that I object to cleaners-it was just confusing.

[@ithacacomments4811]

50 yrs ago, my nursing school uniform was a white blouse with a blue pinstriped pinafore. The buttons were removable so that the items could be washed and starched....and ironed on a mangle. The hospital laundered them for us. The buttons clipped on with tiny cotterpins. When we bent over sometimes a button would separate from the pin and would be lanched across the room ! We always carried extra buttons and pins in our pockets.

[@elizabethjones4959]

My nursing school uniform made me look like an escaped convict.

[@tribaldiva88]

Ours made us look like Target employees (red scrub top and khaki scrub bottoms with white shoes). When we were trying to round everyone up on the floor in order to go to lunch, or we couldn't find someone, we would call a "code khaki" lmfao!

[@rosegroshek1218]

fyi for those unaware- that last lady in the “nun” looking outfit? her nursing uniform is actually likely heavily inspired or based off of the actual nurse uniforms worn by VAD nurses during WWI. i personally really like VAD nurse uniforms, and i quite like (though less so) the lady’s student uniform.

[@andynonymous6769]

I think it's cool but imagine you're in the ER and you see her doing CPR on your loved one or something. It looks like a costume, not to mention it looks impossible to stay clean in it

[@briannalyon1653]

My sister in law and my friend are both in nursing school. They just wear scrubs in a specific color for each year that’s different than the local hospitals color. Why in the world do they still do nursing school uniforms?

[@akelajoconnell7369]

Mine looked like the last one in style, only the skirt was mid-calf, sleeves to the elbow. The cap had to be starched by hand, and the buttons were clipped on. The buttons had to be removed for every wash. It was extremely uncomfortable for me as I have a short waistline, and the band went across my rib cage. Ugh! I went to nursing school in the early 80’s.

[@chanelnoelle4127]

That last round had me thinking I was watching an episode of Call the Midwife. Bless their souls.

[@andynonymous6769]

Oh god imagine delivering a baby in that. Those sleeves would get covered in everything

[@KimmieJ1920]

Mine wasn't bad. It was white scrubs and we had to sew velcro on the sleeve so that we can move our school patch from top to top, top to jacket and back. Our shoes had to be all white. I remeber we had to paint white out over the Nursemates blue heart.

[@barbaramullins4233]

You need to do a segment on when nurses were sequestered in nursing schools and not allowed to marry or have relationships with men until they graduated.

[@andynonymous6769]

Oh of course they were 😑 This stuff shouldn't surprise me anymore

[@hannahsynergy6140]

This makes me really thankful that I get really nice blue scrubs for my uniform, haha!

[@jentrianeverlark5653]

I find the last nursing uniform kind of fascinating. It actually kind of looks like what the VAD nurse in WW1 would wear. It is kind of cool that they are wearing it, but as far as functionality goes, those sleeves wouldn't allow for proper hand-washing and the skirt needs to be hemmed up for mobility. I do love the history behind it though!

[@anniebananie7887]

My nursing school uniform was horrific! Red/ white striped shirt, that had a Peter pan collar, a white vest or jacket, or the shirt with a jumper that made everybody who wore it look like they were 6 feet wide.

[@susanjacomb9614]

Interesting that nursing uniforms historically have been copies of maids, waitresses, cooks, nuns,candy store attendants ...kind of shows you how much they have been valued.

[@michdoug1]

I was a respiratory therapist, I was interested in nursing, the prerequisites are the same as RT training, I delayed my decision because of the uniforms. Some nursing students had to wear pinafores, it was horrid horrid horrid!

[@andynonymous6769]

What it you're a guy? Did they still make them wear pinafores?

[@SuperAqueos]

When I went to nursing school I just had Navy blue scrubs that said UC Irvine health on them. The staff nurse uniforms were light blue for one week. Then they switched to Navy. I was confused for a staff rn constantly. Was horrible for patient safety but it was probably good for me.

At the end of the day we were looking for our jackets put on a cart the teacher had. I separated mine in didn't pile it up loose everyone else.I grabbed mine right away but everyone else had their jackets mixed up. 3 days later 3 students came down with a weird rash it seemed to come from the jackets cuz someone had a contagious rash and it spread. I didn't get it cuz my jacket I separated it from everyone else. Plus it had my name on it so it made it easy to fine.

i don't REALY mind the caps, i think they are kind of neat. however, they have gone the way of the floppy disk ( an outdated icon that is completely alien to the newer generation, beyond being taken for granted in the current status quo. ) and most places are modernizing to fit said status quo. eventually they will be just forgotten about like most old technologies. sad but true (sad but true does NOT apply to anybody living in the current/new status quo ). but sometimes they are still necessary in the larger complexes.

It’s weird to me that you had a uniform in your nursing school... Here in Québec, we wear scrubs in nursing school, they just have to be white. But you’re the one bying and choosing them.

[@catlinboy]

In Scotland, qualified nurses have a standard uniform, with certain colours representing grade in diffferent shades of blue. So the student nursing uniforms are the same but with a grey tunic instead of blue, and with the university name instead of NHS Scotland. But they're paid for by the uni, or when you qualify, by the NHS. The idea of a white uniform or scrubs sounds like a nightmare! Are they not borderline seethrough? Do they get grubby quickly?

I'm pretty sure that nursing school uniforms are a test to commitment to becoming a nurse. I went to nursing school in the early 90's. The woman had to wear these shapeless, tea length dresses. On top of the uncomfortable, non-breathing dresses, caps were required to be worn from the time we arrived until you got into your car at the end of the day. (With my thin hair, I could never get that damn cap to stay on.) However ... I may have been required to look like a 1950's nurse, but at least I didn't have to cosplay Florence Nightingale.
