Scrubs Buy

I am a newly employed nurse and getting tired of the over-priced nursing shoes and scrubs around here. Can anyone tell me where to find the best value on nursing shoes (I am in love with “nursemates”) and scrubs? I have looked online, but with shipping costs, it didn’t seem like the best deal either. Any advice? Thanks!

I always buy my scrubs online. Tafford offers free shipping and has the best prices and quality I have found.

Here are their NurseMates shoes:http://www.tafford.com/thumb.htm?tl=4&ldid=4&sdid=47&ddl=&RPP=13&Search=&CP=1

Their scrubs are the best, but run a little big, so check their size chart when ordering.

Good luck!

If you are a nursing student or instructor (BSN or ADN) in IL or IN please tell me if your school uniform is scrubs or polo/jersey shirt with white pants or something else.
I am looking for specific schools in IL/IN. Please tell me the name of the nursing school and what the uniform is.

Nursing school uniforms will vary by school. Some require a specific color scrubs, and some will require that you actually buy scrubs from the school itself.

Regardless of the uniform policy, you can get great scrubs online in a bunch of colors and patterns.

Anybody know a good website? Laundry pins leave enormous holes in ther scrubs and the regular sewing ones are a bit too flimsy. And untrustworthy. I work in Radiology and prefer to put my rings back on when done in surgery. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

you can find decorative safty pins in most scrapbooking stores or places that sell scrapbooking supplies.Try hobby lobby, or look at scrapbooksupplystore.com. Walmart sells scrapbooking supplies, as do some office supply stores. If you still can't find any, try one of these other options…
*Tie the rings onto the string in your surgical cap
*Wear a simple chain necklace that you can put them on that can be tucked into your scrubs
*Buy one of those small travelers pouches that go under clothing to prevent theft for tourists, (they are VERY small and have a zipper pocket) search preventing pickpocketing etc ( I found some a while back sorry cant remember the site)
*or just don't wear them to work
Hope this helps

The reason why I'm asking this here is because I feel it is terrible for them to wear them even if they are in their own scrubs and have to change into hospital ones in able to go into the operating room or pacu or operating hallway. Even husbands or partners have to wear hospital issue scrubs, well whatever they are called, in the or, pacu, hallway when their wives or partners have c-sections. Leave them on till their goes to the postpartum room after that. I'm well aware of the germs or spead of infection, something like that.

Think thats it for now.

Mostly for Health Issues.

If you were sick with a deadly bacteria that was contagious, you'd be wearing at least some sort of protection so that you don't conatminate the people around you.

Well i need a website wherein you can find different Nursing uniforms of the past. I really need it for my report. Nursing uniform of the 2000s, 1900s, 1800s, and so forth.I really need your help.Thanks.

Here is the best I could find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_nursing_history

Good Luck!!!

I don’t want to buy online, though. I’d prefer to be able to go to a store so I can make sure the scrubs definitely fit me.

The COOP on Longwood Ave has them. They’re in the basement. It’s harvard medical’s bookstore, but anyone can buy stuff there. It’s a seperate company than the school. It’s right by Beth Israel Medical Center.
