Scrubs Buy

I am an undergrad psychology student and the top tier classes are the psychology labs, where you concocted little experiments like issuing questioners or observing people doing things. While the students are observing and whatnot they are made to wear lab coats. Why? Would would the purpose of that be? Aren't lab coats meant to keep things clean and sterile? What use would a psychology student have for such a thing?

There could be a number of reasons, but I’m sure you learned about controls in experiments. I think that’s the biggest reason since they can generally wear whatever they want underneath. One test administrator wearing jeans and a T-shirt could potentially gain a different response from a test subject than another wearing a dress shirt and tie. Also, it may be used to establish authority in terms of who to take direction from or ask questions during the lab. There is also the other affect of putting the college aged students into a more professional frame of mind and making them more inclined to behave themselves. Another thing is that it may teach them to leave their work behind when they go home for the night. Some counselors really care about their patients/clients and take their work home only to be depressed when their patients/clients don’t respond to treatment. It could be an attempt to develop habits of keeping things professional rather than letting them get personal.

Any type of store that will be ok

I live in another state, sorry. BUT since no one else can offer advice/suggestions I would recommend calling the local hospital(s) or Dr. office(s) and just say, "I I'm going into nursing (or something of the sort) and I was just wondering where are some places in the area to purchase uniforms?" Don't feel silly, they should be glad to help point a fellow nurse in the right direction, and besides they don't know who u r , they probably get those calls all the time if there isn't an obvious nursing supply store around.

I'm just trying to get rid of white heads on my nose.
What's the best face scrub I can buy at walmart or walgreens or somewhere like that?
I've used Biore Pore Strips and those don't work for me.
& I've used Clean and Clear oxyginating scrub or something like that which didn't do much either.

try st. ive's apricot scrub. good luck

Lab coats are a hygenic necessity - if a patient's bodily fluids come into contact with him or her, the doctor doesn't want to get that on his or her clothing, both out of self-interest, and to prevent potential pathogens from being transmitted to other people. To this effect, they can simply change their lab coats once they become contaminated, and have them cleaned.

They're white for two reasons. First, white is a color commonly associated with the medical profession and cleanliness, so in this sense it's tradition. However, there is a practical reason as well: bleach is an extremely common cleaning agent used in medical applications, so a lab coat of any other color wouldn't work.

I'm a nurse, and I'm always looking for good quality scrubs, that are more fashionable than the traditional ones. I've never ordered any online, but want to, has anyone used Marcus Uniforms (http://www.marcusuniforms.com) before? I'd rather hear someone's good or bad experiences before ordering?

Thanks!

I've found them to be kind of cheap (the scrubs don't last long)- their service is just OK. I get all my scrubs at Tafford - their quality is the best and their prices are fair. Plus, their customer service is the best and they have great deals that come in my email.

Check them out, you wont be disappointed:

good luck!

I heard there would be a season 8, but when?
I also heard they were finished filming.
Oh and, will there be season nine? Gosh it would be a shame if there were no more Scrubs. It’s so hilarious!
If there’s any information you know that I haven’t asked about please tell me anyway.

The last season will be on ABC in January.

I have a lab coat I used in university for my chemistry labs. I'm looking to sell it, but I want to wash it first, so here's my question. Can a lab coat be washed in the washing machine? We didn't use any crazy chemicals, and I didn't spill anything on myself, but I'm afraid that the presence of chemicals could cause something bad while it is in the washing machine or cause a fire/explosion hazard. Would it be safe?

Any input would be great! Thanks in advance!

that's actually a very insightful question that students usually don't think about.

In industry, and I'm speaking from experience (I've managed labs), most companies have rules that no one is allowed to bring lab coats home to wash. Companies usually use an outside service for washing lab coats and uniforms. The lab coats are washed in a seperate process to avoid contamination. And the contamination can happen both ways. Many times you don't want to introduce lab chemicals into the environment and many times you don't want the detergents and surfactants in the lab.

Now, you could probably get away with taking your lab coat to a laundry mat and washing it by itself in an industrial washing machine with something like woolite. I would not recommend heavy duty detergents. Nor dryer sheets. Nor would I recommend doing this at home nor at a dry cleaners. You don't any chemicals in your laundry right? and dry cleaners would never wash the coat seperately.

as to fire hazards, I wouldn't worry about that. the coat will be in a tub of water.
