Scrubs Buy

I am a healthcare provider and am required to wear scrubs. Today many of the patients asked me why the staff wore scrubs because they never know who is part of the medical staff to begin with. Should medical facilities be required to wear scrubs or regular clothes? What are your opinions?

I think that it is a side affect that developed over time. Scrubs have become sort of an “icon” associated with health care workers.

To answer the second part of your question, yes employees should be required to wear scrubs. Nobody wants foreign body fluids on their jeans, or do they?

I am planning to buy a pair of scrubs today. I am undecided between Red with black trim combonation or a sky blue with green apple trim. I have med brown hair and hazel eyes and olive skin complexion. Which would look best on me?

Blue looks best go with that.

I need more scrubs because they are my uniform, but I really don’t want to pay shipping and handling. I’ve looked all over and can’t find any without a catch. For example “free shipping when you spend so much”. Those prices are usually ridiculous, I am not planning on spending any more that 35 dollars on scrubs, so that whole deal gets me no where. I just want FREE SHIPPING!

If you join the Tafford email list, they always have some kind of coupon - and a lot of times, it includes free shipping: http://www.tafford.com - their scrubs are the best, I get most of my scrubs there!

Also, I buy Cherokee Scrubs at BestofScrubs.com - they are ALWAYS free shipping and have great deals! http://www.bestofscrubs.com

Good luck!

I make all natural whipped body butter and i make my own hand, foot, and body scrubs. I know that when some products say "all natural" it is really not because of the added preservatives and alchol, but mine are truly natural and i was just wondering if people are really into buying pure "all natural, the real deal" body and skincare prouducts.

Yes I hear allot about them I use some I sue olive oil and sugar to exfoliate my skin, and water and oatmeal or a plain egg for a mask, w/ the whotes around the eyes.

Where are a few places I could find cheap Lab coats here in San Antonio?

The cheapest prices in San Antonio on uniforms, scrubs and labcoats are at Medix Uniforms on Fredericksburg @ Datapoint, 733-7100.

More Expensive but good Quality Labcoats are Available at Northwest Uniforms

I need some new uniforms my university won’t provide them, any ideas?

try these website… i bought all my scrubs from them

www.jascouniform.com

www.uniformcity.com

They have be all flowerly and heartsy; they have to actually be kid-oriented… like, characters, butterflies, animals, etc. They have to have some hunter green (the hunter green from Cherokee, kind of more of a tealish hunter green) in them as that is our required dress code. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

in case a nurse needs to kick a MD's butt

just kidding

I know it seems like a dumb question, but I really would like to know. Some of these skin-care products contain plenty of sugar (apricot scrubs, etc) or fat (lotions with oil). These sugars and fats penetrate the skin and enter our systems.

Do they count as calories ingested? Or is it just the calories you EAT that count towards weight loss/gain?

indeed, it is a very interesting question

well…homosepians (human beings) do not have the ability to absorb a lot of things though their skin like other creatures (e.g. unicellular organisms). So it is safe for you to use any of these products on your skin.
this is mainly because of the surface area to volume ratio factor. Humans need a specialised system for absorbing food, which is the digestive system. so unuless you eat the stuff, it is not counted as calories!!! and would not cause weight gain.

However, some products that contain cortisone or steroids might cause weight gain, not because of the energy content, but becuase of the way steroids work in the body!!
