The uniform requirement balances the rights of expression of the individual with the Nurses Middle College’s goal of developing a professional student body. The required uniforms portray a professional image for those aspiring to a career as a Registered Nurse or other healthcare provider. Clothing worn on campus and at all school-sponsored events must meet the guidelines of this policy.

Class A Uniform:
School-issued scrubs are to be worn whenever the school requires this uniform.

Class B Uniform:
Scrubs of any color or pattern (must be a scrub top and scrub pants); Students may wear long sleeve solid colored shirts under their scrub top if they wish. A lab/scrub coat may be worn over scrubs if needed. Scrub pants must be worn. Sweatpants, leggings, or jeans are not permitted. Hooded sweatshirts are not permitted.

Accessories: Fashion items, including large jewelry, are not permitted as they are not professional and distract from the learning environment.

Footwear: Sneakers, nursing shoes, clogs, crocs, or other closed toe and low-heeled shoes are the only acceptable professional nursing and healthcare provider footwear. “Fashionable” footwear presents a health and safety risk and the student would be in violation of healthcare workplace dress codes. Rain or snow boots may be worn only in inclement weather; fashion boots are not not allowed under this dress code policy.

Hats/Hair Accessories: Hats (of all kinds) do not comply with professional nursing attire, and are not allowed in school. Bandanas, turbans, bonnets, baseball caps, and do-rags are not permitted, other than for religious or health reasons. Professional head scarfs are allowed. All headwear (other than for religious or health reasons) must be removed prior to entering the building. No scarfs are to be worn around the neck or otherwise when wearing scrub/school uniforms. Explicit, illegal, or inappropriate graphic content on clothing of any kind is prohibited in the school building at all times.

Coats are not to be worn in class or while moving about the building.
