<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3813840"]Here is a straight answer from my experience (over 7 years of device sales) for what its worth. Scrubs are great to wear if you know you will be in cases all day...especially bouncing around to different facilities. It doesnt make sense to wear a suit only to find it on the floor of a nasty, crowded locker room of a OR. </p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly dont wear suit and tie unless I am going into meeting, presentation, dinner etc....I think just dressing smartly works fine. On a average day, a dress shirt and slacks are fine in my area (midwest) or even a suit with no tie.</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as you go to work everyday and surgeons, staff and adminstrators know you, you can wear anything without much attention being drawn to you, they view you as part of the team. If you are beginning your career, I beleive that wearing a suit and tie is justified daily. I guess to make a long reply longer....be smart about it and earn your right to relax a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I am going to a new facility passing out busines cards I wouldnt think of wearing scrubs. I have went from suits to scrubs and now making an effort to dress more professionally when not working in OR all day....I have been to lunches where my counter parts show up in scrubs and I know they JUST left their house and surgeons ask, "Where have you been I havent seen you in a while"....not good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just be smart and do what you think is appropriate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
