What The Color Of Your Scrubs Means And How To Choose
Jun 10,2008
Many hospitals require employees to wear specificcolored scrubs.Sometimes this is to differentiate between departments, so it’s easier to identify physicians from nurses and surgeons.
Other times it’s psychological since certain colors elicit certain emotions in people. Whatever the case, your scrubs color choice shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Here’s what the color of your scrubs means and how to choose which is best for you
White
White was the main color physicians, nurses, and surgeons used to wear. The thinking back then was that white represented cleanliness and purity. This largely went out of fashion in the medical world because early practitioners realized white causes a number of issues.On a patient level, white scrubs literally caused headaches, creating eye strain and visual fatigue.
This color is also very difficult to get blood stains out of. Even when sanitizing with bleach, the stain wouldn’t fully go away.it’d just change to brown or green and the scrubs would often have to be thrown
out. So, definitely think twice before going with white scrubs.
Purple
Purple can put out mixed feelings, depending on the person.
Some view it as childish or immature, perhaps not taking you seriously as a qualified medical professional if you wear it. Others view it as a strong color, associating it with royalty and empowerment. Regardless, it’s not too hard on the eyes, so there isn’t a health risk to patients by wearing this color.
And it’s a fun color, which may be great when working with children.
