Hemera | Thinkstock + Scrubs
Color, fabric, print, trim and fit are all factors that can affect how nice you look in a set of scrubs. But it’s the pockets that you will end up loving or hating at the end of the day (or halfway through your shift!). The number, size, shape and placement of pockets can make or break your nursing outfit from a practical standpoint. Here’s an overview of some of the most popular pocket designs.
Patch Pocket
This is the most ubiquitous pocket style for scrubs. The rectangular patch pocket is roomy enough to hold a huge variety of tools you use at work each day. Plus, since the pocket is right there in front with no flaps or twiddly bits, you can always reach in easily without fighting fabric. The downside is that stuff can fall out. Some nurses sew (or glue) Velcro along the inner edge of their patch pockets to cut down on lost items.
