I wore scrubs everyday to work for almost 20 years.  They were very durable.   I had a huge variety collected over that time and scrubs for every holiday and season.  I got more compliments from patients on my Halloween scrubs than any other holiday!  I still got really tired of them, though.

We were told that the reason that white uniforms were done away with was because they caused anxiety in patients.  Some people became scared of the nurses caps and uniforms in particular.

I heard about patients getting anxious seeing white uniforms too, especially young patients. My sister-in-law is a nurse at the hospital she worked at, she was allowed to wear scrub tops but the pants had to be white. She's now a travelling hospice nurse and last time I saw her she wore a T-shirt with the company name on it and scrub pants.
