Nursing uniforms going back to white?

The University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics recently joined the ranks of hospitals requiring white uniforms for nurses.  The new dress code, which requires all nurses to wear white with red, navy or black bottoms, is “a reflection that we take our job seriously,” said hospital spokesman Chris Nelson.
