Hey Americans! I visited New York this summer and noticed something that surprised me. I saw many people, who I assume were nurses or hospital staff, walking around on the streets in their blue, green or purple one work uniforms (scrubs). (so much color omg, one color = one type of nurse ?)
Where I'm from, this isn't common at all. It made me wonder:
- Is this a normal practice in the US?
- Doesn't this raise hygiene concerns? I would think wearing clothes from a hospital environment out in public could spread germs.
- Are there any rules or guidelines about this?
I'm genuinely curious to understand this practice. Thanks for any insights you can provide!
