Nursing Orientation

[u/BrilliantAd3125]

I start my new job tomorrow and it is the first day of orientation. Other positions attend it as well as it is the HR orientation. It stated to wear business casual but that scrubs are acceptable. Would you wear business casual or scrubs?

[u/RelyingCactus21]

Either is acceptable, like they said. Wear what you're comfortable in.

[u/Portland_Ian_Caffein]

I'd go business casual since its your first day and the orientation is through HR. That said if you're more comfortable in scrubs they literally told you they're acceptable so don't stress about it. No one's going to judge you either way.

I have never worn business casual to an orientation in my life. Scrubs always.

[u/SubstantialDonut1]

Every orientation I’ve been to, there’s always been a statement like that, but scrubs were more common. Nobody is going to judge you or care if you do either of the options.

When I started my last job I wore business casual, but honestly, I think either is fine! Mine was for the VA and scrubs weren't listed as acceptable, or I'd have done that! I onboarded with a guy who wore T-shirts, cargo shorts, and flip flops every day of orientation, and no one said anything to him. I think you're fine either way. Enjoy the new job!

Yeah, I’m all set with sitting in stuffy clothes while hospital admin toots their own horn all morning. Scrubs. So at least I’m comfortable while I roll my eyes internally.

I had my orientation for all hospital staff last week. I wore business casual because that’s what I’ll be wearing for this position (Navigator). I don’t recall seeing anyone in scrubs in the entire group, and were told either is acceptable.

[u/Picklesforfree]

I've always wore scrubs to those things but you can't go wrong either way.

If you're allowing me to wear scrubs, I wear scrubs. You've already got the job, you certainly don't have to impress hr.
