Is it bad form to go to a wake in scrubs?

:brokenheart:

The wake is tomorrow right after the end of my shift. Somehow I think if go home first to change into "people" clothes I'll woos out somehow from the going to the wake. It's almost as if I don't want my professional life to impact on my personal life somehow.

So what do you think, scrubs okay or not?

def not ok..

Can't you bring nice clothes to work with you and change there?

I'd say it is okay. It would mean a lot to the family if a person thought enough of the deceased to come in work clothes rather than not show up at all.

The choices are scrubs or not. It isn't whether to go or not.

I'd say if you have a chance, as JohnAn suggested, bring a change of clothes to work with you. I doubt anyone would complain about you showing up in scrubs, but I personally would wear something a bit more "traditional." That's just me, though.

Thanks, i hadn't even considered that possibility!

I think scrubs would say, "Hey, look at me," instead of what you really are there for. I highly recommend you change into nicer clothes. :beer:

I am going to bring nicer clothes to work. I just found out about the death and was a little overwhelmed and couldn't think straight for a moment.

I've been at a lot more funerals than most people my age... and I've seen people show up in work clothes before. I can think of a couple of people that did show up in scrubs, and AFAIK, the only comment that was made was "thank you for stopping by on your way [to/from] work." <shrug>

Yeah, I think it wouldn't be acceptible to go in scrubs. It's like you're saying that the occasion wasn't important enough to bother getting properly dressed.
