MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The St. Paul City Council is urging a hospital to change its scrubs policy after hearing from nurses on WCCO.
United Hospital nurses told WCCO earlier this week they wanted to wear surgical scrubs, saying they provided better protection than the uniforms issued by the hospital.
At the time, Allina told WCCO it was against their uniform policy.
