Finally, a nursing uniform that commands respect

If nurses look like professionals, society will be more likely to consider them professionals. Changing the way society views nurses begins with how nurses present themselves to society. The Nursing Vision works to give nurses the tools they need to present a professional image, through attractive and comfortable uniforms.

The Nursing Vision has launched our new line of uniforms designed to create an attractive, professional and respectable image for nurses. The comfortable uniforms are designed to protect patients and nurses.

The Look

Sleek, fashionable designs will give nurses a respectable image.

Colors from an environmental palette. No bold or neon colors--our colors are designed to provide a calming environment for our patients in stress. No teddy bears, hearts or flower prints. Colors will be solid, or if they do have a pattern, it would be a very fine stripe or pattern like would be found on a man's business shirt or suit.

Who's Who?

Nursing uniforms will help patients understand who their care providers are.

Uniforms can come with an RN or other patch; and

Silk-screened title on the back of the uniform.

Patient Safety

Uniforms will be treated with an environmentally safe antimicrobial to reduce the potential for cross-contamination.

Pockets are at the waist or below to prevent contents of the breast pocket from spilling into the patient's open wound;

No long or draping elements to keep infection transmission low.

Nursing Safety and Comfort

No wide-open necks or openings at the back of the neck to reduce the potential for physical abuse or sexual harassment.

Designs include flexible fabric 95% chief value cotton and 5% spandex to allow for the athletic level of activity nurses do on the job.

The RN Patch

We urge all nurses to wear professional-looking uniforms to help create a public image of nurses as educated professionals deserving respect. It is important that patients be able to identify their RN, so they know the who the person is responsible for their care. Click here to see more on the RN patch.

Why should you wear the RN patch? See:
