  • Great suggestions- love the links so you can see what the description looks like. Also, again I like the way it applies to both male and female nurses. I thought all of these links were great because scrubs can get a bit monotonous, and I love seeing all of the various styles that are out there. I do know a lot hospitals are instituting the system where nurses have to wear one color- this gives nurses great options to choose from to vary their scrub wardrobe a bit. Makes me want to go scrub shopping…

  • How about cobalt blue (I liken it to the color of spider veins!)?

  • We’ve noticed a trend towards color by discipline for nursing scrubs. We make the most this practice by offering a one stop shop for hospitals at SuiteStyles.com

  • MY daughter is trying to become a nurse and im proud of hershe is just 18 and has a long way to go but she is a real go getter.she is now working in a nurseing home and she loves her job.

  • Would someone please design scrub tops for the petite woman? Now that the style is longer tops, I having an impossible time finding something that fits – especially if it is the least bit fitted. The waist is down about my hips. Women under 5′ 2″ have approximately 7 inches between their waist and hip not the 9 inches of our taller comrades. Scrub makers please take note……

  • Nice idea for an article but we male nurses get 2 choices? Green and black? Really??? When are the scrub makers (and you writers) going to realize that men like colors and fashionable scrubs too? I wear boot cut jeans on my days off, why wouldn’t I want boot cut scrubs, in colors besides navy blue or black?

  • Yay Kelly! You’re so right about the under 5’2″ woman and every single scrub top too long and pulling at the hip.
    I also wish there were more designs on softer material…some of those scrubs are oh-so-itchy and starchy.

  • Like to order larger qautity of unisex scrubs, white

Student nurses are frazzled and panicking right now. You’ve been there. Got any advice for us?

Male nurses are almost not existent in the clinics. Other than the MDs, I am the only guy on the floor.

Is nursing considered a career or a trade? I am not just a skilled craftsman, I am an educated professional.

I love hearing about how the nurse practitioner is the “next best thing” in the medical profession. Is it?
