Hospital/Clinic Attire?
Discount Medical Scrubs
Hi, tomorrow is my first day as a part timer at a medical center. I'm a high school student and was wondering what to wear. I was thinking a dress shirt tucked into my jeans for a professional look but it's 110 degrees where i live and its getting hotter by the day so I thought of wearing a plain v neck with a vest and cotton shorts. I know they have scrubs there but I don't think its necessary since I'm not qualified to be handling any patients internally.Any ideas preferably from people who have worked in hospitals/clinics/medical centers before? Thanks!

Better to dress more formally than needed than the other way around. Where I work the men generally wear a shirt and tie and trousers, belt, casual or dress shoes (not sneakers), maybe a polo shirt instead of the shirt and tie. No jeans and definitely no shorts. If you find the dress is more casual you can also adjust your attire the next workday. But no one will fault you for wearing a dress shirt and trousers.

Slacks and a decent shirt or polo would be appropriate. Short are not part of the dress code in any hospital. What you can do is wear shorts to work, change in the bathroom to slacks and then change back when getting ready to go home. You can put your shorts in a backpack that you bring with you. Scrubs are not furnished for staff that does not have direct patient contact.

Since it’s your first day, you really can’t go wrong with a dress shirt or collared (polo) shirt with jeans or khakis with casual shoes. I would refrain from shorts, flip-flops or anything too casual until you find out if there is a dress code from the director or your immediate superior. Good luck!

This is a disease question?? Well, it really depends where you work. Where I work you have to wear scrubs of course because I work on patients, but I know even transporters were scrubs. I think it’s nicer to wear their scrubs because at the end of the day you can change out of them and if you get dirty or touch something that someone not so clean has touched, you don’t have to take it home with you. Dress nice and when you see what everyone is wearing there, then adapt the next day.
