(4,160 posts)(male) in 1983 uniform shoes were about $20. Uniform tops were also about $20 and uniform pants were $30. Pay was $5.50-7.50/hr. White uniforms were so easily stained. It wasn't until the mid 90's that we could wear scrubs, of course the hospital had their own scrub shop to sell us approved scrubs. I think that they were $20 each, tops and pants. And pay had increased to $15-18/hr.
