3. For the ladies- if you want a more form fitting top, we suggest the Novelty V-Neck scrub top. This top customizes the v-neck style to cater to women.

As a nurse, you are constantly washing your hands with soap. This constant cleaning is great for fighting germs; however, it takes a toll on your skin. The harsh soap is constantly stripping away natural oils from your skin leaving it dry and uncomfortable. Our favorite weapon to fight against this is using Remedy® Skin Repair Cream. This gentle moisturizer is packed with nutrients that your skin needs that the harsh soaps had taken away. Using this daily to help restore your skin’s natural moisture balance. The Remedy line also includes cleansers as well as protectants. The protectants are perfect if your skin is so dry that it has cracked and needs an extra barrier to help it get better.

Unisex scrubs have been around since the birth of the scrubs. They are the perfect choice for hospitals that are purchasing medical scrubs for all their employees; employees who are both men and women. Quickly, scrubs have morphed to come in a variety of styles that are targeted at just men or just women. However, unisex scrubs are still the most popular scrubs. Here are the Pros and cons to unisex scrubs:

Shopping for medical scrubs online is completely different than shopping for scrubs at a store. For one, you can’t touch the fabric or try the scrubs on. The perk to shopping online is you can essentially be at 5 stores at the same time. You can browse different sites to see what scrub styles are available.

Try to find images that show the scrubs on a model. This will show you the details: like how long the top is, what the scrunching at the back will do to the scrub overall, etc. This will give you a better idea of what the top will look like on than a shot of just the scrub. If there is only an image of the scrub top, there will most likely be a sizing chart that can really help determine what size scrub to get.

Another great feature of many websites, including Scrubs123, is product reviews. This is a great resource to determine if scrubs tend to run large or small and how durable the product truly is.

Shopping online is convenient and a great way to find a fantastic deal! With these tips, you will be sure to find scrubs that fit and you love from the comfort of your own home.

The v-neck scrub top is a staple in the medical field. However, not everyone wants to go with the v-neck top. So, here are two great alternatives to the v-neck.

The Cherokee Mini Mock Wrap Contrast Top

While the mock wrap does form a v, the piping adds a different dimension to the garment and gives it a different feel than the traditional v-neck top. Also, a mock wrap is flattering for more curvy body types.

Medline AngelStat Keyhole Neckline Top

The keyhole neckline top is more conservative compared to the v-neck top and is a different look. It is also a great option for people who have pear-shaped body types because it brings attention to your neck and face.

3. Dark chocolate and nut clusters will satisfy your sweet tooth as well as give you protein and carbs to keep going... until your next opportunity to snack!

With hundreds of different styles, colors and brands to pick from, choosing the best scrubs for you can seem daunting. Here are our tips to help make the process easier.

1. Go to a scrubs store. Go in and touch the different materials, see the different brands and try on the scrubs you are interested in. This is the best way to really get a feel for what scrubs fit and to figure out sizing for a particular brand. Once you have figured out what brands you like and the size you would be, you can go online to see their entire product offering. Going online will allow you to take advantage of deals that are happening weekly on different sites.

2. Try a variety of brands. Trying different brands will help you determine how durable the scrubs are, how long the color lasts before fading and how it feels after a couple of washes.

3. If you are planning on mixing and matching scrubs, be sure to stay within one brand as colors can vary between brands. For example, Medline's Ceil Blue might be one tint lighter than the Cherokee's Ceil Blue. If you get the same color from two brands, you risk the chance that your outfit will not look well.
