What do pediatric nurses wear?

Like most medical and healthcare professionals, pediatric nurses most often wear scrubs. Scrubs are loose fitting and comfortable cotton shirts and pants that hospitals and clinics provide for their staff. In larger hospitals, scrubs are color-coded by department, so it is easy to tell in which department an employee works. Pediatric nurses often choose scrubs with fun, colorful prints, including animals or familiar cartoon characters, to help put their young patients at ease. Sturdy, comfortable, supportive footwear is also a must since you spend many hours on your feet as a pediatric nurse.
