Blue Scrubs vs Green Scrubs at my school book store

1 I was at my school book store yesterday picking up books and checking out the school supplies. They have scrubs there too. Which I honestly can't wait to purchase. However they had two kinds. Blue scrubs and green scrubs. And they had a sign that said you needed to check with your instructor/program before purchasing.
I know that you don't go to my school. But can you give me an educated guess as to why there are two colors?
I would guess that certain programs wear certain colors, like maybe the medical assistants or rad techs would be differentiated from the nursing students.

My school was the same way. RN students wore green, LPN students wore blue, and every other program also had a different color. Just check to find out which color your program requires. Good Luck

At my school, the bookstore has blue and green also. The blue is for RN students and the green is for CNA students.

It's weird though. Because nowhere do I see that my school teaches CNA's. It's a 4 year university. And all I see that you can get is a BSN.

If there are no other healthcare programs at all, only RN programs, maybe it's for different clinical days or groups.

It's different for every school. Just depends on what color they decided to assign to each program.

Does your school not offer any other health-related degrees? Dental hygiene, Radiography, Sonography, Diatetics, Vet Science are all 4-year B.S. programs offered at my university that might require scrubs - even though a 4 year university doesn't offer CNA or LPN, they still might have other programs that require scrubs. Or maybe your school has 1 color of scrubs for first year nursing students, and another color for the upper levels?There are many possibilities. You could call your nursing department office and ask.

Nope. My school offers Athletic Training, Community Health, Health Sciences, and Human Performance. I don't think you'd need scrubs for any of those. Maybe for Com. Health or Health sciences...But the upper level and lower level thing sounds like it makes more sense.

Why don't you try asking your bookstore or your instructors?

1. Asking someone would be too easy 2. It gave all of us something to think about.

LOL yes! Yes it did!
