We each selected different days to keep from overwhelming sterile supply. They really didn't need to be sterile, but sanitized. We couldn't wear them to and from work. In delivery, we placed a sterile gown over the scrubs. The hats and shoe covers had to be changed for each case, so having custom hats was a pain. We saved those for when we worked in newborn.
