I wear scrubs to work. I either wear my hospital issued one or sometimes I wear my own. The best ones are Figs, by and far. I also have some bottoms that are Vera Bradley those are pretty good as well. If you are spending the money though, Figs is the best. I sometimes wore business casual depending on the day at work or if I had meetings. Since COVID and going forward it’s scrubs only. I change into a garbage bag at work and dump it into the wash when getting home.
Also look into Clorox fabric spray for clothes/ seat in the car. And shoes something croc material because you can wash/ bleach them.
I also have a bogg bag. It’s awesome. It’s made of croc material. Originally meant to be a beach bag but I use it for work and Clorox it daily.
I would likely wear scrubs if I could in a school setting. I put my clothes on hot and sanitize when getting home. Clothes get ruined quickly.



Thank youChat Icon Although children will be 6 feet apart, we all know that won’t happen all day. I’m just trying to minimize the risk of bringing anything home to my husband and young children.



Wouldn't you bring it home just as easily on scrubs though?
Either way you have to wash your clothes when you get home. What's the benefit of scrubs?



Many teachers are planning on doing this as regular clothes can harbor particles from the virus more than scrubs. They’re also easier to clean. I’ll be able to run a wash everyday as opposed to waiting to take certain clothes to the dry cleaners.



I don’t know where you heard that but it’s nonsense. Fabric is fabric.



Exactly!! Scrubs are not made from anything special

I am disappointed as to what this website has become. I feel like no one is able to have an opinion anymore or say how they truly feel without getting ganged up on. It's like "bully-like" atmosphere on here lately.

Why is wearing scrubs a problem? From the other posts, it was clear that most wanted children back in the classroom. If scrubs makes me feel better to go teach my children, then why not? Masks are NOT mandatory in my district.Chat Icon



I’m with you.

I work with kids who can’t tolerate the feeling of socks on their feet, and who sneeze like explosions. They won’t be wearing masks.

I’d rather know that I can wear clothes underneath and take scrubs off before I get into my car and throw them in a bag.

Not sure why everyone’s so angry about it



I guess you can do that if you want to, but again scrubs have no magical properties. And a bunch of teachers dressed up in doctors scrubs will just be more of a distraction in an already distracting situation.



I agree. Especially for those who have had it or lost family members to Covid. Scrubs and lab coats have their place in health care facilities. Go buy some inexpensive cotton, button downs and wear them over a t shirt or tank top- it will afford you the ability to take off things before getting in the car or change if you get dirty without making a classroom look like an Emergency room.

Scrubs are not appropriate for a classroom. They need to be washed just like regular clothing and have no magical germ repealing properties. As for being comfortable it really depends on your size because they are not always a great fit. Children (at least mine) associate scrubs with healthcare workers. Get some inexpensive machine washable clothing.



I'm curious as to what makes scrubs not appropriate in a classroom. I am being told I have to go into somewhere between 9-10 classrooms a day of children where there is not enough room to socially distance for me but the kids are spaced apart, where the students will be taking masks off to eat (oh but no indoor dining allowed). I will be wearing a KN95 mask (unless or until I can find N95's), a cloth mask over it, a headband where I can attach said mask, a face shield, my hair in a pony tail (possibly covered not sure yet), gloves, scrubs and a lab coat. I am sorry if this makes your children uncomfortable but I am going to do what I need to in order to protect myself and my family. I also will be standing in a corner near an open window and not going near a single child. If this doesn't work for you please feel free to keep your children home.



You really need to ask why scrubs are not appropriate for a classroom- I really think you are being dramatic- our clothing choices are associated with a certain role- we teach young children to identify the roles by how people dress- police officer, fire fighter, doctor, scientist, sanitation worker, basket ball player- need I go on. Scrubs are made of cotton or cotton polyester blends not magic germ fighting material. If you showed up dressed as you described acting as you described I would be on the phone with the principal and then the superintendent of my district- there is a level of professionalism I expect of professionals- do your job properly with confidence and professionalism or stay home like all the other teachers opting for an excuse.
I walk into a hospital 5 days a week to work in a lab wearing jeans and a shirt following the code of professionalism expected by my colleagues, collaborators and supervisors. Save you crap for someone who hasn’t been dealing with this for months!!

instead of scrubs, think are really for clinical peps. What about an old shirt or apron,
long and will cover you.

keep in school and wash a few times a week.

You're a nasty f**K. Call whoever you want because of what I chose to wear - you'll be on my list of people to sue if/when something happens to me or my family.. My oncologist whom is treating me for CANCER has told me I am to wear double layer masks, a face shield and my hair away from my face as I often touch it IF I go back. So if a parent doesn't like that too bad for them - keep your kid home during a pandemic if you don't like it.

Re: Scrubs?

The purpose of scrubs is to wear them in clinical situations when you might get blood or other bodily fluids on you so that don't stain your own clothes. In hospitals, they are given as you arrive to work to change into and you change out of them before you go home. The hospital disinfects them for next use. If you want to wear them so that you can throw them in the washing machine when you get home and not worrying about dry cleaning then I would just buy casual clothing. I don’t even wear scrubs in the hospital anymore, I wear a t-shirt and loose active pants. If you want to splurge anyways then brands I like are Cherokee, wonderwink, Grey's anatomy, Carhartt. Figs are overpriced and more of the “trendy” option.

If you have cancer and are at risk why not take a leave of absence? It sounds like the stress of the whole thing is getting to you and the stress of it is not going to help your treatment. I dont know that you will be able to sue if you get covid though. Sorry for your circumstances.

Okay but scrubs are not PPE and are not going to protect you any more than a long sleeve cotton tee would, thats what we are talking about here. I dont see how you could file a lawsuit about that. Maybe I'm not seeing the point....

There are plenty of articles where school districts in other states are allowing teachers and staff to wear scrubs. Not sure what would be so traumatizing to your kids if their teacher wore scrubs. I think you are being just as overly dramatic. Things won't be normal for the foreseeable future time to get used to it.

I am not a nasty f**k. I am a realist and an essential worker so slow down and breathe. Unlike you who had the opportunity to hull up at home I had to work the past few months.
Take a LEAVE if you have a legitimate reason such as CANCER!!! Or add yourself to the list of teachers with legitimate reason to request remote teaching every district is doing it!!
You are lashing out because I don’t agree with you and I truly hope you are more respectful to the parents of your students- add my to your shit list bc I think you are completely over the top!!

Scrubs are NOT PPE- wake up they do not afford any special protection.
As for getting used to it unfortunately I have had months to deal.

Scrubs?

The good thing is, according to the Suffolk County Health website today, where facts and not opinions reign, 37 people have tested positive yesterday, and Long Island as a whole has a positive testing rate of .6 percent. So 99.4 percent of those being tested are negative. So, Scrubs probably wont make you any safer than all of the measures that have already been in place. But, if it makes you feel better. Wear them. And hot water in a washing machine isn't even hot enough to kill anything. It's the same temp as your tap (and warm water hand washing is recommended to suds up the soap to make the friction easier before someone mentions hand washing haha) The friction and heat of the dryer probably do the trick. I wash all my clothes on cold, and we rarely get sick ;)

If you showed up dressed as you described acting as you described I would be on the phone with the principal and then the superintendent of my district- there is a level of professionalism I expect of professionals- do your job properly with confidence and professionalism or stay home like all the other teachers opting for an excuse.
I walk into a hospital 5 days a week to work in a lab wearing jeans and a shirt following the code of professionalism expected by my colleagues, collaborators and supervisors. Save you crap for someone who hasn’t been dealing with this for months!!




There are plenty of articles where school districts in other states are allowing teachers and staff to wear scrubs. Not sure what would be so traumatizing to your kids if their teacher wore scrubs. I think you are being just as overly dramatic. Things won't be normal for the foreseeable future time to get used to it.



Scrubs are NOT PPE- wake up they do not afford any special protection.
As for getting used to it unfortunately I have had months to deal.



WHO CARES if its PPE or not? I haven't seen a single person say it was. Obviously you aren't used to if the thought of teachers wearing scrubs in a class is making you this upset.

Scrubs are not appropriate for a classroom. They need to be washed just like regular clothing and have no magical germ repealing properties. As for being comfortable it really depends on your size because they are not always a great fit. Children (at least mine) associate scrubs with healthcare workers. Get some inexpensive machine washable clothing.



I'm curious as to what makes scrubs not appropriate in a classroom. I am being told I have to go into somewhere between 9-10 classrooms a day of children where there is not enough room to socially distance for me but the kids are spaced apart, where the students will be taking masks off to eat (oh but no indoor dining allowed). I will be wearing a KN95 mask (unless or until I can find N95's), a cloth mask over it, a headband where I can attach said mask, a face shield, my hair in a pony tail (possibly covered not sure yet), gloves, scrubs and a lab coat. I am sorry if this makes your children uncomfortable but I am going to do what I need to in order to protect myself and my family. I also will be standing in a corner near an open window and not going near a single child. If this doesn't work for you please feel free to keep your children home.

Scrubs?

The thing with reopening the economy though, is that not everyone can afford to take a year long leave of absence.

If taking extra precautions helps someone to mitigate their risks, especially a CANCER patient, why in the world would anyone criticize them for it?

Because you cannot mitigate your risk at the expense of doing your job. If the risk is great enough to warrant precautions that physically prevent someone from working, a medical leave is necessary.

There is an implication that scrubs are safer to wear than jeans and a t shirt. As for my feelings about appropriate dress they did not start with this pandemic. Teacher should be dressed professionally.

If they make her feel more comfortable she should be able to wear them.

Like someone said, maybe they will help protect her wardrobe. Maybe a lot of her work clothes can't take being washed in hot water. I know a lot of mine are like that.

If you're that worried about teachers' sartorial choices then you're the one who really needs to wake up. We're in the middle of a pandemic and with everything going on kids are going to have to get used to a hell of a lot more than teachers not wearing sweaters, button down shirts, and dress pants.

Pandemic or not we need to maintain as much stability and normalcy for children as possible- My child has been in camp/childcare for the past couple of months and everyone seems to manage to wear regular clothing to work along with their masks. You see posts of teachers dressed on social media wearing more PPE than physicians. I feel very strongly that if a teacher is not comfortable going into the classroom they should not do so. You telling me to wake up when I have been going into work for months is a joke!

You're a nasty f**K. Call whoever you want because of what I chose to wear - you'll be on my list of people to sue if/when something happens to me or my family.. My oncologist whom is treating me for CANCER has told me I am to wear double layer masks, a face shield and my hair away from my face as I often touch it IF I go back. So if a parent doesn't like that too bad for them - keep your kid home during a pandemic if you don't like it.




If you have cancer and are at risk why not take a leave of absence? It sounds like the stress of the whole thing is getting to you and the stress of it is not going to help your treatment. I dont know that you will be able to sue if you get covid though. Sorry for your circumstances.



Health insurance - if I could leave I would
and yes if I am told that I can't wear PPE that makes me comfortable because an a**hole parent complained I will sue the s**t out of them



First of all, I am sorry you have Cancer. Cancer is terrible. I will honestly pray for your health, recovery and your family.

That being said, I think that by calling someone a nasty "f**ck and threatening to sue the s**t our of a**hole parents, and saying how you are going to stand in a corner and not go near a student is showing that you are not fit to be a teacher. I am so very glad that you do not teach in my children's school district (I do not live on Long Island.

If I knew what school district you taught in, I would report your posts to the Superintendent.
