What nursing scrub design should nurses wear besides the v-neck nursing scrubs?

i was kinda curious why nurses wear those v-neck nursing scrubs. maybe it's time to break the monotony and give in to other styles of nursing scrubs. so, what do you think?

1. They wear them because they are the most widely available and usually cheaper than the others. Also, depending on where they work, uniform styles may be dictated by the hospital's dress code. Where I work, all ER nurses must wear a color called ciel blue. We can wear either dresses or scrub pants and tops. We may wear a white sweater or lab coat and white socks or hosiery and white shoes. Other departments wear other colors. Nurses outside the hospital environment usually have a wider choice of colors/patterns/styles that are acceptable and visiting nurses often wear street clothes.
2. There are other nursing scrub styles other than v-neck which can be used, but hospitals and clinics have specific dress codes and nurses have to abide by that. Those working in the field have more freedom with choosing the style they want. As to the styles you're asking, there are trendy designs available, like for instance the Cherokee B collection featured at http://www.pulseuniform.com/cherokee-studio-b.asp and Cherokee touch collection http://www.pulseuniform.com/cherokee-touch-collection.asp.
