While I am searching and reading a blogs I have read one which says that there will be a new policy in wearing medical uniforms. The following short statement I have got from one blog can be read below:
"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."
"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."
This might be unfair to lots of healthcare workers that find comfort in the medical scrubs they used to wear than this traditional white scrubs. 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 doctor. And as what author has said from the blog this is implemented to bring the orderliness.
