As a Travel Nurse, you’ve likely seen and heard about the different types of uniform scrubs worn by those in the medical field. Wonder what color scrubs are most common among travel nurses? Here’s what you need to know!
Typically, most travel nurses wear solid blue or green colored scrubs. This is usually dictated by the facility they are assigned to during their assignment. If the facility has a specific color of scrubs required for staff, then that is usually what is expected of a traveling nurse as well.
However, it’s important to check with the facility before assuming this policy applies to all traveling nurses. Some facilities may allow travelers more flexibility when it comes to choosing their scrub colors – allowing them to opt for more neutral shades such as black or navy blue instead of sticking with just one hue.
It is also worth noting that some states have implemented mandatory scrub wear policies for certain specialties within health care. For example, California requires pediatric nurses working in hospitals and clinics to wear baby blue or light green scrubs only.
In general, solid-colored scrubs are always the safest bet when it comes to travel nursing assignments – but if you do have some wiggle room when choosing your ensemble, be sure to select something that fits both your style and the facility’s regulations!
