Do any of you guys think nursing scrub uniforms are cute or sexy? Say, if the nurse was a blond-haired, fair skinned, foxy babe.
So. I know it's a superficial question. I was just curious. :p
Geez.
No, and the uniform has nothing to do with the person in it. If you’re looking for a date, there are several websites that cater to such fetishes.
Good luck.
Try Baclaran flea market during Wednesday, they supply scrub suits to Bambang stores. Cheaper by 50%.
& how did they become the main (& sometimes mandatory) apparel of heath care workers?
lol they're supposed to not attract lint but my dickies do!
In contrast to the uniforms long required of nurses, surgeons did not wear any kind of specialized garments until well into the 20th century. Surgical procedures were conducted in an "operating theatre" - an amphitheatre- or auditorium-type room with a raised table at center stage and several rows of seats to allow students and other spectators to observe the case in progress. The surgeon wore his street clothes, with perhaps a butcher's apron to protect his clothing from blood stains, and he operated bare-handed with non-sterile instruments and supplies. (Gut and silk sutures were sold as open strands with reusable, hand-threaded needles; packing gauze was made of sweepings from the floors of cotton mills.) In contrast to today's concept of surgery as a profession that emphasizes cleanliness and conscientiousness, at the beginning of the 20th century the mark of a busy and successful surgeon was the profusion of blood and fluids on his clothes.
With the "Spanish flu" pandemic of 1918 and the growing medical interest in Lister's antiseptic theory, some surgeons began wearing cotton gauze masks in surgery - however, this was not to protect the patient from intra-operative infection, but to protect the surgeon from the patient's diseases. Around the same time, operating theatre staff began wearing heavy rubber gloves to protect their hands from the solutions used to clean the room and equipment, a practice surgeons grudgingly adopted.[1]
By the 1940s, advances in surgical antisepsis (now called aseptic technique) and the science of wound infection led to the adoption of antiseptic drapes and gowns for operating room ("OR") use. Instruments, supplies and dressings were routinely sterilized by exposure to either high-pressure steam or ethylene oxide (EtO) gas.
Originally, OR attire was white to emphasize cleanliness. However, the combination of bright operating lights and an all-white environment led to eyestrain for the surgeon and staff, and additionally, many people found the sight of bright red blood splashes on a white gown or drape rather off-putting. By the 1950s and 1960s, most hospitals had abandoned white OR apparel in favor of various shades of green, which provided a high-contrast environment and reduced eye fatigue.
By the 1970s, surgical attire had largely reached its modern state: a short-sleeve V-necked shirt and drawstring pants or a short-sleeve calf-length dress, made of green cotton or cotton/polyester blend. Over this was worn a tie-back or bouffant-style cloth cap, a gauze or synthetic textile mask, a cloth or synthetic surgical gown, latex gloves and supportive closed-toe shoes. This uniform was originally known as "surgical greens" because of its color, but came to be called "scrubs" because it was worn in a "scrubbed" environment.
I am wondering if the scrubs I have to wear for medical assisting in college, are considered an education expense that would be tax deductible? We are required to wear our uniforms to class.
No. Uniforms are only covered for Elementary of Secondary education under a Coverdell ESA. In all other situations they are not deductible. The above poster should have read the linked document; it states it quite clearly.
Once you start working in the medical field they may be deductible as an unreimbursed Employee Business Expense if your employer requires them and does not provide them or the funds to purchase them. But as long as you're in school, they are not deductible.
Where are the uniform stores that sell healthcare scrubs?
If you are not employed in the health care profession, check out Costco, as they do carry a small selection.
If you are in the health care profession, check with your employer, they usually have catalogs that come in for employees and the prices are reasonable - especially if you and a couple other employees split the cost of shipping and make a bigger order.
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!
