A lot of the patients noticed we were all wearing poop brown. When it was explained it was the first day of the new uniform, many were heard to comment: "I don't know why they chose poop brown. Its really not very flattering. I certainly won't have any trouble identifying the nurses." One thing you can bet on, we will become know as the poop brown hospital. I think the whole thing may actually backfire on the hospital.
Its actually very convenient. The walls where I work are poop brown. The floor are even kind of brown. Actually I think the color is kind of environmentally friendly (if you know what I mean), kind of our version of going green as it were. I find the color kind of cheery... I need to find some poop brown nail polish.
I love brown colored clothes and the whole autumn palette. I took care of a young man who always colored with brown-he would cover the entire side of the paper with brown marker. And I agree with the whole Green idea. Can't get much more nature-oriented than brown. Congratulations on no more decision-making about what to wear to work on any given day. I like having that decided already for me. YMMV
ReplyDeleteAt least it's not lime green...
ReplyDeleteWhat a color! Does the hospital wash them for you too? Oh wait, no need to wash them--clotted blood and dried vomit should blend right in... lol!
ReplyDeleteThe Brownies are back!

Our Techs wear brown scrubs.

ReplyDeleteThe trend of poop brown is in your hospital, eh. I like blue nursing scrubs more than any other color. Anyway, maybe your hospital will be famous for that color. lol.

Put on a tin foli hat and you would look like Hershey Kisses....

Lab techs wear brown at our hospital, while nurses are clothed in an amazing shade of green. The same color, I might add, worn by nursing students. Personally, i could care less about colors. Even when you tell a patient your designation, they assume you're a doctor (being a guy). It doesn't help when the docs, in a show of solidarity, decided to wear green.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea...
Rightttttttt .
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with hospitals wanting their staff to wear colors that match the wall trim/paint? My last hospital job we had to wear burgendy and the techs had to wear that awful light brown/oatmeal color that washes everyone out.
ReplyDelete/just wondering, do the people who tell you to wear poop-brown uniforms wear uniforms?? Thought not... Put the admin in suits and see how they like it. Making staff wear uniform uniforms is a power issue. (Suits don't count unless they look like Chairman Mao suits)
ReplyDeleteWow, your Suits in Charge of Stupid $hit have really stepped in it with that color choice.
ReplyDeleteSince I know where you work- it's pretty interesting. You either are an environmental service worker or lying- since the RN's wear Navy.
ReplyDeleteIts way better than white which most of the hospitals in my area make nurses wear
ReplyDeleteNow just sew on a poop-brown hood and you will be able to camouflage yourself anytime you need a few minutes to breathe. Just pull up your hood, stand next to the wall, and be very still.
