Nursing Uniform Bundle Order
During clinical/lab/simulation experiences, all nursing students are required to wear SC scrubs unless otherwise instructed. You can order uniform bundles through the form below. Bundle cost is added to your student bill. (After the initial bundle order, individual pieces can be ordered through the Nursing Office.)
Uniform is a purple (grape), scrub top with the Southwestern College Division of Nursing logo embroidered on the left chest, and gray pants. Scrub bundles with two tops/two pants/ jacket and logos will be ordered through the Nursing Division on admission to the nursing program for student purchase. Special needs based upon cultural or religious affiliation will be addressed as needed. A professional appearance is to be maintained. Students may not wear Southwestern logo scrubs, lab coats, name badges or any other Southwestern identification when employed by a healthcare organization.
