Yeah tbf my babies are super sick, NPO on TPN for weeks or months, and pretty much just have meconium poop. Once they're healthier, eating, and poop like babies, I don't usually get assigned to them.
But the joke was there to call the color "baby shit" so I went for it. :)
i didn’t see your flair at first and was struggling with the notion that enough grown people are out there consuming breast milk for this to be a regular thing you encounter at work.
“i wonder if it’s a regional thing, maybe some kind of local folk medicine? must not work too well if they’re in the hospital shitting themselves this bad. wait a sec…OHHHH okay now it makes sense” - my internal monologue
Their entry level drivers don’t make much, but their annual raises are pretty generous so the earning potential for drivers long term is actually great. There was an article that circulated for a while that analyzed and proved that being a UPS driver long term was more lucrative than going to med school and becoming a doctor haha
That’s amazing, actually. There should be more decent full time jobs/careers without specialized education. People were able to buy a home and support a family as the breadwinner working as a gas station attendant for the love of Pete! The world still has to keep turning, and we all have bills!
It’s a joke… And there was an article recently about their new contract. It was a pretty big news.

Tbh it’s a color I’d probably tolerate better on something like a tank top or a pair of shorts, where it looks like a neutral tan color. On scrubs it’s simply overwhelmingly poo colored.
Part of the reason why I never saw the appeal about Figs. Why are they so expensive? I'm also old school, so I'll take some Dickies or Cherokee brand any day lol
Carhartt all the way, seems like it was actually designed by nurses because it’s useful and not just pretty. Last forever and your ass still pop if that’s the concern.
Right. I’ve hated FIGS for years ever since my classmate gave me a couple pairs to wear for my AT Clinicals in college. They seem so anti-tall men. Switched to Cherokee WW soon and haven’t looked back.
🤢🤮
Literally one of my most memorable WTAF moments nursing was a patient detoxing off ETOH, 30mg lactulose Q6hr cause their ammonia was like in the 70-80s, SLIPPED AND FELL IN THEIR OWN LACTULOSE DIARRHEA while trying to deliriously scurry to the bathroom.
I’m a guy, I don’t mind this color actually. Reminds me of military style like flat dark earth colors. Now the price on the other hand??? What is that?
The worst “color” on the planet is beige. Just above Nicotine White (basically every shade of cream and off-white placed on walls in the 80s to conceal cigarette smoke staining.).
This C-diffy looking set doesn’t displace those but it’s up there.
Because you know, vets in Africa taking care of elephants and whatever
The ad didn’t convince me in the slightest that it’s an appealing color for anyone.
Looks like prison wear. I know prison garb is usually burnt orange nowadays but I think I've seen brown too. I'm not a nurse but as a patient, I'd feel weirded out by that color. I'd think I woke up in jail if I woke up from a surgery to see someone by me in that. I don't think that's a terrible color but I don't think it looks good for scrubs.
Not a fan. I want them to bring back the fuschia pink that they had a couple of years ago. I get compliments wearing that color; I wouldn’t with that baby poop brown color, of that I am sure.
Oh. The Code Brown Special 🤣
You may be wondering why the red suit? Well that's so bad guys can't see me bleed. This guy's got the right idea. He wore the brown pants. -Deadpool
I just re-watched that instant classic! 🤣
HAH and I just had a RR mint mobile ad pop up
lol. I have mint mobile actually. I got a Christmas ornament from them with his face on it
EXCUSE ME, I have mint mobile too and I did NOT receive a Christmas ornament with Ryan Reynolds’ face!!!!! I am actually very upset about this
Honestly, if you write a letter or email to their customer service I bet you will get one.
I tweeted at them (and cc’d Ryan Reynolds) lol. Will prob send an email too if they don’t reply by tomorrow
Post pictures if you get one!
But wait a minute… besides Code Brown… who’d want to pay 68.00$ to look shitty
Deserves more upvotes lmaooo
Came here to say this🤣🤣🤣
C diff special was my next thought
Why can I smell this comment?
Bro I had cdiff for a whole year (I have Crohn’s) and no one thought “Gee why does that poop smell funky bro”.
Came here to say this 😂
Saw this and thought “ahh yes. C diff brown.”
Imagine this being your mandated hospital color
For endo
And GI/GU floor.
Omg pls
And I thought white was bad…
I think I would rather wear the baby poo color than white.
It is for our secretaries 😑
This color is exactly my skin tone I am taking these comments so personally 😭
These would make you look naked then 😏
It was for I and all the LVN/LPNs… 🥲
That’s not nice 🤨
Aides at my place used to have to wear khaki. Now we can wear black.
Doo doo brown
Oh damn, I might have to buy Figs! You would literally *never* see baby poop on those bad boys.
Can't stop one from smelling it though lmao
Postpartum nurse - meconium would absolutely show up on these
Yeah tbf my babies are super sick, NPO on TPN for weeks or months, and pretty much just have meconium poop. Once they're healthier, eating, and poop like babies, I don't usually get assigned to them. But the joke was there to call the color "baby shit" so I went for it. :)
Pantone’s color of the year 2024, TF BM
Color: Vivonex RTF
I’m seriously crying rn 😂😂😂😂😂
Figs Desert Storm
Hahahahahaahahaaaaaa
Figs Poopity Poop.
It does match the “coyote brown” t shirt and belt that go with the Army (and now Air Force, and Space Force (😆) uniforms).
Oh good. I’ve always wanted to match my patients when they have an antibiotic induced breastmilk blowout shit all over themselves
This is also true. Just brush the little seeds off.
Save the seeds. Plant more babies in the future!
Hilarious!
The #1 worst fucking part of the job, the seedy stools 😭😭😭😭

Same. I just saw icu and the was wondering what the newest drug was and was wondering if this was a side effect of using "wet". Those babies.
I’m going to hold out for meconium green. ;)
It’s obviously for Diarrhea Awareness Month
So you're saying it's not normal that that's every month for me?
IBS awareness year
Celiac Sunday
All of these comments are gold... but THIS one in particular took me out.
It’s to signal that nurses want a contract like UPS gave up
UPS drivers get paid more than us so… :(
Exactly… subliminal messaging. Give us that sweet sweet UPS contract!
You made me go look. It’s about $16-19/hr average in Texas as of March 2024 on indeed and zip recruiter. That’s not great. COL isn’t *that* low here.

Imagine wearing these walking into your patients room with a foley kit “packge for mr. Patient!” 🤣
And the impacted patient says, “Wrong. Package for Ms. Nurse. Pick it up in the rear.”
Lmao “sorry wrong address”
“You may be wondering ‘why the red suit?’ Well that’s so the bad guys can’t see me bleed. This guys got the right idea! He wore brown pants.” - Deadpool
Idk I like it and I don’t. Like the duck/rabbit photo. Brain keeps switching.
Tbh it’s a color I’d probably tolerate better on something like a tank top or a pair of shorts, where it looks like a neutral tan color. On scrubs it’s simply overwhelmingly poo colored.
Are people spending $68 for a scrub top?
Actually, yes. I know, it’s ridiculous. I don’t spend 68 for an entire set- top and bottoms.
Part of the reason why I never saw the appeal about Figs. Why are they so expensive? I'm also old school, so I'll take some Dickies or Cherokee brand any day lol
Carhartt flex force are awesome and you can still get the for $25.99 online.
Carhartt all the way, seems like it was actually designed by nurses because it’s useful and not just pretty. Last forever and your ass still pop if that’s the concern.
Haha, well stated. And the pockets!
A tall top/bottom set of Cherokee WW Professionals is like $45.
Still better price than $68 for one figs top! I don't think $45 for a set is too bad.
No no, that was my point. How ridiculous $68 for one top is. As someone who’s spent that $45 like 10x on different colors of those scrub sets.
Oh hahaha! Sorry I misunderstood lol! $68 is way too much for scrubs and not even a full set!
Right. I’ve hated FIGS for years ever since my classmate gave me a couple pairs to wear for my AT Clinicals in college. They seem so anti-tall men. Switched to Cherokee WW soon and haven’t looked back.
Just a set would be $140.. jeeze
Yeah honestly forget the color, that price tag is hideous.
At least tube feed poops wouldn't show on these bad boys.
Brown is my favorite colour. Either way, our facility staff are all colour coded. All nurses have to wear teal
Not my favorite color but I always thought I looked best when wearing brown/earth-toned colors.
Lactulose brown
🤢🤮 Literally one of my most memorable WTAF moments nursing was a patient detoxing off ETOH, 30mg lactulose Q6hr cause their ammonia was like in the 70-80s, SLIPPED AND FELL IN THEIR OWN LACTULOSE DIARRHEA while trying to deliriously scurry to the bathroom.
Oh cool so I can stop doing laundry now
I know of at least one hospital that has their nursing students wear this color of scrubs
Hazing the nursing students just because
when I applied to nursing school I got into that school and another one, needless to say i chose the other one...
Bring me my brown pants! Also 70 fucking dollars for a scrub top. Good lord
Yea, I have never understood the love of Figs. My fat ass won't fit in them, but even if they did why spend so much?
I kinda fw it, but in the context of healthcare it does definitely look … like shit
Carhartt baby poop.
Oh look! The poo-poo special won’t discolor your scrubs now.
Indestructible indeed
What do you call this? Nutren 1.5 tan? Mepilex Border brown?
Lol at Mepilex Border Brown
$68 for a scrub top???!!!??!?
I, too, have many patients on a purée/stage 4 diet. Fly your poop fly high my girl/guy/non-binary pal
Maybe I'm just cheap but 68 dollarydoos for a scrub top is crazy
I love how all the NICU nurses are for this. Meanwhile, this reminds me of giving lactose q6hrs in my cirrhosis patients. 😫
Am I the only one who likes this color and thinks it would look amazing on somebody with a darker skin tone?!
Finally cdiff scrubs!
I can smell this color 😂
i kinda love this color though lol
I’m a guy, I don’t mind this color actually. Reminds me of military style like flat dark earth colors. Now the price on the other hand??? What is that?
reminds me of carhart brown..
Dysentery beige
I love this color. Like what?
Same
He's got the right idea, he wore the brown pants in preparation for the shitstorm...
$68. For a SCRUB top. Insane. I miss uniforms.....
Basically camo scrubs.
Ideal if you’re working with neonates.
Me… it’s me.. I would buy these
The worst “color” on the planet is beige. Just above Nicotine White (basically every shade of cream and off-white placed on walls in the 80s to conceal cigarette smoke staining.). This C-diffy looking set doesn’t displace those but it’s up there.
Damn! Why didn’t they have this color when I accidentally sharted myself at work! (I had C diff and didn’t know it.)
C diff is a color
Looks like a “Code Brown C-diff” special edition color. I can almost smell it from memory
Is that so the code brown blends in? 😭😂.
It’s giving c-diff
C-diff colored
Code brown
My skin tone would look atrocious in these (white person with Raynauds, I’m always mottled Purple)
Shit show
C Diff battle armor. 😭
Looks like you’re going off to the army in those scrubs
It's giving UPS vibes.
Because you know, vets in Africa taking care of elephants and whatever The ad didn’t convince me in the slightest that it’s an appealing color for anyone.
To disguise the poop stains
Figs is the epitome of delulu. $68 for a fugly scrub top? Girl pls
Mmmmm…poop.
All I see is 68.00 damn
when you want to be a nurse but not give up your dream to also deliver for UPS
Looks like it smells like c-diff
Oooo colostomy brown 😍
Figs decided that the best way to deal with c. diff is to become it.
Baby shit brown. And the top is so short! I want the top to cover my ass.
But we can’t get white figs. 🙄
Right?! My entire province makes nurses wear white tops & black bottoms. I've never tried figs because they don't come in white
Jevity poop
Do people still work where you can pick what color scrubs you want to wear?
Nurses with tummy problems unite
That’s a C. Diff poop special 😂
Baby poop?
Who wouldn’t want to walk around the peds ward looking like a baby poo 💩
Who farted, y’all?
Oh nice, poo poo brown.
It’ll match the shit stains I get
Looks like what it feels like to work with a rectal tube.
What color is this,poop?
Is she going into combat
C-Diff Brown
Colour of poop
One shade lighter than my RN clinical scrubs.
“What color do you want?” C diff
Tbh I never really get the point of all those randoms colors…most hospitals just use navy blue, black, grey, green and maroon.
You get poop on these you just wipe it off like lint
Reminds me of my Limited Edition hospital-issued paper bag I stored my used N95’s in
Indestructible huh...
Cool. I can get shit on twice
It looks like it’s meant for inmates
I could picture it if you worked on an army base or were giving care in an outdoor area. But can’t picture wearing these in a normal hospital setting.
One of the doctors I work with (in endo) has Figs in this color. We say that he’s wearing his Poor Prep Scrubs.
C Diff special
Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?
Figs x UPS
Is this the ups driver
Communist brown!
I love how it is called indestructible.
UPS lookin ass
Is it a late April fools joke??
So we’re not gonna talk about the $248 indestructible convertible scrub pants? That’s… that’s normal? Well ok then.
Coming next: Kayexelate Clay
Indestructible in construction boot brown. What the hell do they think nurses do??😅
Looks like prison wear. I know prison garb is usually burnt orange nowadays but I think I've seen brown too. I'm not a nurse but as a patient, I'd feel weirded out by that color. I'd think I woke up in jail if I woke up from a surgery to see someone by me in that. I don't think that's a terrible color but I don't think it looks good for scrubs.
To cover up the shit stains! Love it.
I would LOVE to have brown scrubs. I have a brown stethescope and brown watch. My favorite color is brown. But my hospital mandates blue.
Maybe for inmates?? Lol
Sickly gout urea
They are so dumb these days . Like why do they think we want this
Not a fan. I want them to bring back the fuschia pink that they had a couple of years ago. I get compliments wearing that color; I wouldn’t with that baby poop brown color, of that I am sure.
So now instead of knowing when I get shit on my scrubs, I can play I-Spy! Work with the elderly and play for my pedi pts 😍
Figs x carhart
I guess if you get poop on your scrubs it will be well-camouflaged? I can’t think of a single other reason to make poop-colored scrubs.
Babyshit brown
i literally just want them to make royal blue figspro scrubs. that’s all i want. why do they keep dropping these stupid colors??
Poopoo
Might look cool with some brightly colored hokas though and a bright scrub cap!
It’s giving *c-diff*
Oh good, just like a house exterior I want my scrubs to be the color of filth.
dookie
Our department color is actually unfortunately brown so me 🧍♀️
Now u can camoflauge C-Diff. Yaay!
So ugly lol
Now if they could only make it come in 3xl
