Hi! I recently accepted a job at HonorHealth Shea. I was wondering what the dress code for nurses are.

I know the scrub color is navy, but I am wondering if there are any rules pertaining to underscrub color.

Furthermore, do they allow t-shirts (if so, what qualifies as acceptable vs unacceptable t-shirts)?

Do they allow underscrubs by themselves or by themselves with a vest/jacket over it? Or do you have to wear a scrub top at all times?

I can't find any info online regarding the dress code, any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry it’s long but want to paint the full picture in case it helps -

Background:

I was on Hailey 24 FE birth control pills from January 2021 until August 2024. During that time my doctor said it would be ok to skip the sugar pills in order to not have a “period”/ bleed, as long as every 3/4 months I would take a break & allow myself to bleed/take the 4 sugar pills.

I went back on birth control in March 2026. My doctor said she would put me back on the same pill when I asked, but I was prescribed “Aurovela 24 FE 1/20”. Based on what I’ve read, they are basically the same. I finished the first pack (I started it on the first day of my period). I wanted to skip my period like I used to, but it wasn’t on me so I went a day in between packs (like taking 1/4 of the sugar pills essentially). I bled and cramped like a normal period for about 4-5 days (starting the next day when taking the pills in my 2nd pack). Then a few days later I started spotting super lightly for probably 5ish days (when peeing/after sex i’d wipe some brownish discharge or there would be a very small amount in my underwear). Then everything was normal for the rest of my second pack.

On my third pack, towards the end of the pack (week 3/4 I believe) I missed a pill and took that missed pill with my daily pill about 2 hours before my “scheduled time” the next day.

I am now 1 week down of my 4th pack & it’s now been about 2.5 to 3 weeks of light spotting that is dark red/brown — it will either be a little in my underwear or when I wipe after peeing or when I have sex.

The timeframe of the continuous spotting is close to when I doubled the missed dose, but in the past I never struggled with this issue — missing a day between packs (during the sugar pills) or doubling up once in awhile never caused bleeding, and if i did have breakthrough bleeding, it was more like a normal/lighter period and not this very light spotting that is a dark red/brownish color.

Also - I notice the super light spotting in my underwear, but I don’t bleed like normal (if I notice a drop of blood while peeing it’s super dark red/brown and only a drop). Other than that, I mostly only see bloody brownish/dark red tinted discharge when I wipe or during sex.

Any ideas on what could be causing this??!
