Uniforms

[fdnyemt5330]

regular uniform during the winter can be a long sleeve button down shirt with or without a sweatshirt over it. i prefer the sweatshirt with the summer shirt underneath.

in the warmer weather, we have polo-style shirts to wear.

7am to 8pm--Grey uniform shirt, black BDU's or Uniform style pants. White or black tee shirt allowed underneath the uniform shirt. After 8pm, we are allowed to ditch the grey shirt and go to an "approved" black tee shirt with small reflective star of life on the left chest with either Paramedic or EMT above it(whatever your level is.). Back of the tee shirt has a large reflective star of life with our service name arched above it. During cold weather , we can have a black sweatshirt or long sleeved tee shirt underneath the grey shirts in daytime, or in place of the reflective tee shirt at night. Supervisors wear white uniform shirts at all times.. (Like they are actually gonna get the white shirt dirty............)

Around here M-F ALL squad members on duty must wear a White button down shirt complete with name, rank, etc. and black pants and black shoes. During colder months they have a blue jacket with YCEMS logo, SoL, name, and rank on it. On weekends they have a grey plo shirt with their name and rank on it to wear with the black pants OR a jumpsuit, but on weekends, both crew members must wear the same uniform so it looks more professional. All EMT students must wear a mandatory white polo, black pants, and black boots, with name tag at all times while on 3rd ride.

This is what school uniform is for me:

*Light blue uniform shirt. Chemeketa EMS patch will be worn on the left shoulder, and EMT patch (if certified) will be worn on the right shoulder.

Dark blue or black uniform trousers. Black belt with plain buckle.

Black, polishable boots or shoes. Picture ID with name and “ “ Paramedic Intern." Any shirt worn under the uniform shirt must be either a plain white or navy blue short sleeved T-shirt. Long sleeved shirts of any type or color are not acceptable. We do have EMT program Tee-shirts that are worn most of the time. A Chemeketa Emergency Services sweatshirt may be worn over the uniform. If a coat is worn over the uniform, it will be the Chemeketa Emergency Services jacket or coat.

If a hat is worn with the uniform, it will be the Chemeketa Emergency Services hat. No hats may be worn inside any classroom or during any clinical experience.

One pair of small stud earrings are allowed.

Nose rings, tongue studs or other visible body piercings are not allowed while in uniform.

One ring is allowed; however it must be small and without protrusions.

One watch may be worn.

Don't think we had any problems with this policy. Our class had the "Uniform Nazi" as an instructor. At least that is what other classes called her. She just wanted us to get in the habit of looking professional, which meant clean shaven. She wasn't a big fan of seeing us wearing White socks either.

class uniform is navy blue polo w/ white t shirt underneath. Class patch on left shoudler and area EMS patch on left chest. Navy blue BDU's/EMT pants whichever you prefer, black shoes/boots (mime always spit shined looks better) and then school ID around neck. Oh yeah always watch and "ears" of course. Then work it is boots BDU's and light blue shirt with company patch on left shoulder and name on left chest.

Uh, since you have a German flag alongside your posts, perhaps you could have worded that a bit differently

Would love to reword it except that is a direct quote from my instructor. She said she has been called that by countless medic classes before us.

Oh, OK.....in that case.....

[vs-eh?]

On any given day I'm sure you could go across the city and see 20 plus different uniform types. Generally it is all dark blue, with any combo of tac pants, jump suits, t-shirts, long/short sleeve, sweaters, jackets, etc...

Appearance wise flexible as well. We had a new facial hair policy for PPE but beyond that...

It may sound vain but I would have a HUGE problem working for a service without a decent uniform. I would be hard pressed to work in a service that required medics to wear white/light blue shirts. Thankfully I will likely never have too....
