They claim to have a business casual dress code, but hell will freeze over before I comply with that.

Mine requires business casual, so the guys wear khakis or dress pants and a polo or button down shirt. I kind of like dressing up and looking professional even for class, but I'm weird like that.

 

[type b pharmD]

mine requires business casual in name only. in practice: tee shirts and shorts are fine.

Business casual for IPPEs and our lab classes is required though.

 

[p-rog]

Wednesdays are "professional dress days" where the only rules are (1)your shirt has to have a collar and (2)has to be tucked into (3)pants (no jeans but khakis and or slacks are fine). The other four days, you're free to wear whatever you want.

 

[UBCmicrobi]

Lectures - no dress code

Practical Labs - Professional attire and short lab coat (this is only once a week, ever other week)

I'm definitely glad there is no dress code outside of the labs.

Unfortunately lots of the students don't adhere to the dress code for labs, which is really unfair (if I have to dress up, so do you!! If I see guys wearing sneakers/running shoes this year, I'm going to have to say something to the profs; they aren't going to get away with that this year!!)

sweatpants, sweatshirts, flipflops, occasionally my PJs...

I'm assuming that's for guys? Dress codes for females are always a bit harder to define. There's no way in hell I'd ever wear a shirt tucked into pants, so not flattering on the female form.

I'm all about the flip flops! Sadly, about 2 weeks into classes it starts raining and does not stop until May. I'm going to work the flip flops for as long as I can though! I haven't worn shoes in at least 3 months 🙂

What's the point of professional attire to the practical labs? Are you actually seeing any patients?

I'll wear professional attire to the rotations, and work, that's it.

Ah, the beauty of being in grad school. (I may change my mind next year, though)

They treat it as "practice" for when we do rotations/work. We are expected to behave as if we are in a real pharmacy setting with respect to attire and behaviour. I can see the point of this; it's basically so we can get accustomed to it in preparation for real life. I don't see the point of schools that have "business casual dress codes" for everyday lectures though.

At FAMU guys have to wear a tie, dress pants and a dress shirt. Ladies must wear corresponding attire. It sucks, but it is what it is.

They also told us that it gives us a chance to "build up" our wardrobes over time; that way we will have enough clothes by the time we need to have them every day. Makes sense, because before I started pharmacy school I pretty much had the suit that I wore to my interview and that was about it.

isnt that awesome?
One school told me they didn't like my hairstyle as it didn't match what they called professional. I have a pretty normal looking hairstyle too.

Oh, hairstyle is going to be non-negotiable with me. This is what I'm aiming for as my hairstyle, albeit probably will take me another year or so to get there.

We were told that colors that only exist in (human) nature were allowed. Shucks, I wouldn't have minded some purple.

I thought you were a Mets fan, not Rangers...

(ducks)

I know the local SOP enforces a dress casual code 4 days a week, with ties on the 5th day.

At first I didn't get it, but yay someone else who likes LOTR. But I'm a NY Rangers (Hockey) fan.

Yeah, that was for guys. Since you mention it, dress codes for females are always complete crap. At CVS, the male pharmacists are required to wear button up shirts with ties but the females get away with basically wearing t-shirts (or tank-tops, if you will) and black pants .

Same here but with a weekly lab.

 

[Ekuj]

None that I know of (except for the usual lab coats for practicals etc)

only 2 cups in the 80 plus years of being in the league....
although its better then none.

still that team has bought alot of greats from other teams

 

[chocobiscotti]

they had a talk with us our first week about showing up in business casual. 🙁

 

[sakigt]

Business casual, closed toed shoes.

Ive been ignoring the need to dress nicely all my life so Im giving in now. Except for exams days, Ill rock my jeans and t-shirt to make sure Im comfy.

 

[Sparda29]

First day of school was today for P2s. Damn, the P1s are probably scared ****less at the school of the administration. Pretty much all the P1s were in business casual, while there were a bunch of P2s including myself wearing jeans.

 

[rxgirly2012]

There isn't really a dress code at Pacific U (Oregon), except for when we do our experiential rotations, in which case it's business casual.

I fully plan on showing up to class in sweats and a hoodie when it starts getting cold and rainy. 😀

 

[Farmercyst]

At first I didn't get it, but yay someone else who likes LOTR. But I'm a NY Rangers (Hockey) fan.

See, I made the transition from Mets to Rangers, and thought it was hilarious because of the (ducks) transition. Unintentional, yet still funny. (yes, Anaheim)

 

[Farmercyst]

At SC only dress code is to meet safety standards of labs/IV room and business attire for rotations. Class room you're as likely to see cut up jean shorts and a tank top as you are a suit an tie. Most people are in the middle of that spectrum.

 

[confettiflyer]

so glad my school doesn't have anything extra to prove with a dress code

classes: casual, no code (i wear jeans/shirt/hoodie)
labs: professional dress (once per week) + white coat
IPPE: based on the location's dress code. i'm at a hospital this semester and pharmacy staff are business/professional + white coat; some of my classmates are in scrubs.

I understand the business/professional dress code for IPPE, but for labs? Why would you wanna wear something nice to a place where you'll probably spill stuff. For lab, I would have thought you wear whatever and just throw your lab coat on top.

i know...i was complaining in my head, but realized that eh...other classes have it worse, and my level of "dressing up" hasn't increased from last semester either (had to dress up for IPPE & clinical skills lab).

oh, but i'm going to look like crap in my lab. i'm gonna have white socks with my black shoes, old beat up slacks that flood, and a short sleeve dress shirt & clip on tie under my coat. and i probably won't wash it, either.

i'll look decidedly more presentable at the hospital, though.

We were waiting for P2s to start classes so we have someone else to potentially share the blame when we start wearing jeans this coming week.

Go down to the 2nd floor and take a look at the osteopathic medicine students, they are dressed like bums compared to us.

Well, those osteopathic medicine students dressed like bums have lockers and we don't have them yet. Can't wait to get lockers so we won't have to bring all our books or work out clothes, etc. 🙂

 

[dreamstar]

Lecture and Labs: Dress formal and professional. Jeans and a nice shirt is okay.
Labs: wear lab coats

So which is it, formal/professional or jeans/nice shirt?
