Have you
ever seen those Hollywood war films? Yes, I’m referring to those films where we
see, nurses, with long white over-coats and gowns, serving the ailing soldiers
and other patients with utmost care and absolute receptivity. Those were the
days when nursing meant something purely related to taking care of sick
soldiers and helping the doctors; but with changing medical scenario all over
the globe and thanks to the latest medical revolutions, the very concept of
nursing has become a fulltime healthcare profession where multi-tasking and
being equipped with various medical management are prerequisites.
The medical
fraternity may not have indulged in excessive style and fashion in their
attires but over the years these professionals have also slowly incorporated little
changes in wearing various medical scrubs
and uniforms. Today the nurses are wearing colorful uniforms instead of those
age old green or blue colored cloths. However I have always felt that it’s look
nice when you are wearing a soothing color while treating a patient. But many
nurses feel that wearing colorful cloths actually make the patient feels
better. Well, as far as kids are concerned this is a great way for sure but for
the elders this may not be the best way to cheer them up. Apart from that,
suppose when a nurse is in the ICU she must wear as per the exact requirement
over there. On a regular visit she can wear the usual green colored uniforms
that will protect her from germs and bacteria of various kinds.
Throughout
the last 4-5 decades we have seen a steady uprising in nursing uniforms. From
Long print dresses, various coats to different nursing scrubs; aprons to the
modern colorful nursing cloths- all happened in due time. Male nurses preferred
more of a formal outfit while the women try different colors and looks on their
cloths.
Thanks to
internet these days you also have the benefit of going through tons of medical
cloth-selling sites. These are beneficial because you no longer need to spend
hours in shopping rather you can pick the most suited one for yourself simply
by going through the internet. That’s why it’s no wonder today to see that various
fashionable nursing garments flourishing like never before.
Before I wrap up this
article just wanted to remind you one thing, see, with time there may be
various innovations done in the way medical uniforms were worn previously but the basics always remains as basics. Occasional
changes are also a necessity but try to remain mostly formal because wearing tasteful and respectable nursing scrubs and uniforms
is always is the best option for people working in various healthcare
professions.
