One such question I ask all of my perioperative students is, why are scrubs traditionally blue or green? So I thought I would ask you as well, and the first person who can honestly answer this question with minimal research, ie is first with the right answer will win a prize.<\/p>\n<p>So why did we change from white scrubs to green and now blue. Is it because white shows up everything &amp; it is so much more difficult to get the stains out , or does the colour blue signify infinity, meaning the surgeon has all the time in the world, &amp; should never be rushed\u2026 or is it because, as the saying goes blue &amp; green should never be seen &amp; we are making up for the lack of colour in the operating room? Or is there a more practical component to these colours, such as the bugs don\u2019t find these colours as attractive compared to say orange or purple?<\/p>\n<p>I am hoping some of you know this answer without thinking too much about it or \u2018googling\u2019 the answer. Would love whatever thoughts you do have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working as a part time university lecturer in addition to partaking in casual nursing shifts as an instrument &amp; circulating nurse, I enjoy challenging my students with insightful forms of trivia.
