In the hospital the surgical staff wears scrubs which are the shirts and pants of the medical uniform. In the U. K. They are known as Theatre Blues. They are designed simply to stay dirt-free and launder easily. They are cheap to replace if damaged or stained. It is now more popular to see medical professions wearing their scrubs outside of the hospital. Wearing surgical scrubs has a level of status associated with it. Even some American prisons have adopted them for their prisoner's attire

Old nursing uniforms were modeled after a nun's habit because nun's were the caretakers for the injured and sick. This is why so many hospitals are affiliated with Catholic names. The nursing hats were modeled after the nun's habit. Today the nursing uniform is easy to take care of and keep clean.
