Scrubs Buy

working on a project for international nurse's week and need to find information about nursing uniforms in australia.

I am unsure what time period you are looking for but… it sounds like the uniform changed periodically.

One comment I found said; "I trained in Sydney in 1974 when we wore a royal blue dress (until a couple of years before this it had been long-sleeved with detachable cuffs, but just before I commenced training the sleeves were shortened with an attached white edging, due to our hot climate). This had a "peter pan" collar and was covered completely with a white starched apron with cross-over straps at the back and wide white belt (blue for probationers). The cap was pleated and had to completely cover your hair, interestingly unlike most English caps I see. Your year of seniority was marked by the number of blue stripes on the front of your cap. We wore dark brown stockings and dark brown duty shoes, with either a red or blue cape with epaulettes. Sisters (all State Registered Nurses here were called Sisters, unlike the UK where I believe only the "Charge Sister" is called by that term) wore a powder-blue uniform with a double row of white buttons down the front, black shoes, clear stockings and a very large white starched tulle veil,which I have sometimes
seen referred to as the "butterfly veil" - at my hospital it was very large and one learnt very early on to stand at least three feet away from any Sister, as any closer than this and, when she turned around, you were likely to get a nasty scratch from the stiff edge of the VERY highly starched veil hitting you! Assistant Matrons wore navy blue uniforms with a double row of white buttons and white veil, Charge Sisters wore a normal Sister's uniform but with a very tall conical-shaped veil so that they were instantly recognizable, and Matron alone wore all white with the biggest veil of all!"

You might also be able to get answers from this nursing uniform manufacturer in Australia.

Good luck!

can anyone recommend a good reliable website to purchase medical scrubs at a discounted price?

Uniform Corner and grab a 10% coupon at http://www.007coupons.com/Apparel/UniformCorner-com-Coupons/index.html for a discount

I get all my scrubs at Tafford - their quality is better than most of the brands you can get at those other stores, for much less. Plus they have great email deals with additional discounts and free shipping!

Once I started shopping at Tafford, I started throwing away all the other scrubs catalogs and emails. Give them a shot!

If you really need Cherokee scrubs (for Tooniforms, sports teams logos, baby phat, etc), check out bestofscrubs.com - they have free shipping on every order, just like Zappos and their selection is enormous…

you could try www.walmart.com or this site

It looks like Medix Uniforms on Fredericksburg Road has them: http://www.medixuniforms.com/

National Outdoors on Stone Oak Parkway as a lot of scurbs, give them a call and see if they have ones with animals on them.

I have a new job as a receptionist and I'm looking for stores that have scrubs in the Philadelphia, PA area. Can anyone help me out?

Wal-mart has the best prices for scrubs.

How do those working in a clinical setting wash their scrubs/uniforms when they get home (we have to wash our own). I want to make sure they’re clean and not transfering germs onto my other clothes or into my washing machine and therfore all the rest of the families clothes.

wash them separate from your other clothes and then just run another load of just water and bleach, it will kill the germs

I'm going to school for massage therapy. We're going to be standing up a lot and massaging each others' backs for practice and such. We won't always wear scrubs but I want to know what the best shoes to wear are. I'm not interested in those crocs or whatever they're called. I'm thinking about maybe Pumas? Just something comfortable but not ugly - I want to be able to wear it outside of school, too. Thanks!

how about new balance…. they feel really good on your feet!
