Piedmont Hospital Respiratory Care Department announces the plan to convert to a nursing uniform standardization policy. Affective October 17th, 2007 all nurses and employess that work for the Respiratory Care Department will wear the same color of Medical Nursing Uniforms to work. Nursing Uniforms Standardization is a movement across the U.S. to help in identification of hospital employees for the patients of the hospital, for Doctors, and other medical staff, as well as security personnel of the hospital.
PC Scrubs assisted with the conversion to standardized medical scrubs by providing a fashion show display of different name brand nursing uniforms and alternative color choices for scrubs. This was important in the selection process to give the widest variety of scrubs and nursing uniforms styles for the individual to select from since they all would be wearing the same color. The only expression of individual style was now the design of the nursing scrubs, not color or print. Once the color was selected, PC Scrubs came to the hospital with a full size range of diffent Brand Name Nursing scrubs for a fitting. Each nurse was able to try on the different name brand scrubs and styles to see which uniform they liked the best. Landau Uniforms, Urbane Scrubs, Cherokee Workwear scrubs, and White Swan Fundamental Scrubs were the name brand scrubs of choice for the nurses.
Piedmont Hospital provided two sets of scrubs to each of the employees of the Respiratory Care Department for voluntarily going to this Nursing Uniforms Standardization policy. This covered the expense for the staff of purchasing new scrubs to conform to the policy. PC Scrubs offered a discount to each of the Respiratory Care department nurses for future purchases of scrubs. Delivery of the scrubs to each nurse in the department will take place 2 weeks before the deadline of the Nurse Uniforms Standardization policy affective date.
