should nurse managers wear scrubs?

does anyone know if Quint Studer addressed this topic directly and if so in which book, and anyone possibly remember a page?
Homework?

A page? You want us to actually give you the page of the book? Is this a joke thread? Like the "should I be a nurse?" thread?

not homework, and not a joke. some changes happening at work. I am not a manager and I guess this is a book given to our managers when they are hired. Wasn't sure if the subject had hit home with someone and they might remember reading of this.

Who is Quint Studer and how many books of how many pages each has he written? And why is what the nurse managers wear of any consequence to anyone's practice? I guess if they take an assignment or assist in any way with hands on care they may need to wear scrubs. If not, then I guess business wear would be more appropriate.

Thank you for the bio on Studer. The first portion of my post was slightly tongue-in cheek as regarding how the OP expected anyone on the board to be able to regurgitate a specific page number from a specific work. I believe the rest of my post pretty much states what Studer puts forth as appropriate dress: scrubs for clinical and business dress for nonclinical staff; and I had never heard of the man. Just posted common sense opinion. Sorry many times my attempts at humor are misunderstood. Someday I'll learn to keep my opinions to myself....

Quint Studer is the guru of customer service.Pres-Gainey, all the other stuff. He is even an author.I would suggest just doing a google search of Quint Studer, going to his website and then doing a search there. Personally, I don't think managers have to wear scrubs.

If I were a manager, I would wear scrubs unless I had a special meeting on a particular day that required me to dress up. My reasoning behind wearing scrubs is: there are times when the manager needs to work the floor due to understaffing or unit needs assistance on busy day. Plus, this shows the team that I am willing to get out on the floor and get dirty with the best of them but if Im dressed up, then automatically it's perceived that I dont plan on doing any work on the floor

Thank you MrChicagoRN! I found exactly the information I was looking for thru your link! As I said, there are some changes being implemented at our hospital in an effort to boost our excellence scores. I had heard from the librarian at our hospital that the book Hardwiring Excellence by Quint Studer was given to all nurse managers hired on.I was surprised this week to see my manager, who is always dressed very professionally, now wearing scrubs....If we are following the Studer Model I was curious to see where this new dress code initative was outlined. I had gone through the book and not found what I was looking for.I was just seeking out some help researching the topic.I thought this was a forum to ask for help and offer help in return, please be respectful of those who are trying to educate themselves.

WHy should they? Its not like they work the floor......
