We are moving to a newly built hospital and administration is requiring nurses to wear dark blue uniforms. LVN's will wear the same uniforms as RN's. This does not differentiate the level of education and licensure to patients/clients. The main question is: who is making the decisions with regard to mandating uniforms for PROFESSIONALS? We nurses are famous for just doing what we're told...Personally, I am working toward becoming an advanced nurse practitioner for many reasons, one of which is being tired of performing so many CNA duties that I don't have enough time to do what I've been educated to do...assess, plan, teach and implement, etc. It's frustrating.
