I've only scene it in movies. It is sort of confusing who is who when you go to the doctor. Are you a nurse or just someone who takes the blood pressure and temperature and then leaves the room?

Scrubs are hideous. Bring back the real nurses.

Hate to say it, but the average American woman nowadays wouldn't be able to pull off the cute short nurse uniforms.

Male nurses are hot and they make a good salary. How do they prevent getting erections while wearing scrubs?

I'm sure that scrubs are vastly more comfortable for nurses.

So who are the dudes wearing blue scrubs? Green scrubs? Some of them are so hot and buff with huge biceps.

I had to wear them in nursing school. A dress, cap, white stockings and white shoes. When I went to work after graduating we had to wear white. We could wear pants, which everyone did, throwing away their white dresses (good riddance).
But when I got a job in a PACU p, they made us wear white wrap around dresses. We rebelled by wearing white sneakers instead of nursing shoes. They refused to allow us to wear scrubs because they were only for doctors.
A few years later, I got a job in another PACU that allowed us to wear scrubs. But the nurses in the rest of the hospital still had to wear white.
When I became an NP & went back to hospital work after a few years away, nurses were finally allowed to wear scrubs. Everyone wanted to wear them not only because they were comfortable, but because they were shapeless and made everyone look unsexy, which is exactly what every nurse I knew wanted - to look unsexy at work.
You can’t understand how awful it had been for years having to wear white (especially dresses) and be constantly harassed by patients and families. If you were the least bit attractive, everyone (including women) remarked upon “the pretty nurse” or “the cute nurse.” After cleaning up a bloodbath, the last thing you wanted was someone flirting with you, or some woman trying to set you up with her gargoyle son.
.It’s funny — nobody ever said doctors looked messy or shlubby in scrubs. They only said it about nurses.

But fat doctors are okay, I guess.

I think he was joking, r16. There are a couple of neurotic queens bemoaning the lack of dressed-upness in America today. At least, that’s how I read it.
