A: True factory direct prices.

“You get what you pay for”. It is an old saying that often enters our mind when we see prices that are lower than we expected. Thoughts of “what’s the catch”, or “there must be something wrong with it” or “the quality must be lower” can enter our minds when we are presented with exceptionally good prices. You don’t have to worry about any of these things when you buy from Scrubs123.com. You can rest assured that when you buy from Scrubs123.com you are getting exceptionally high quality products at the absolute best prices around.

But you probably are wondering “Then how do they do it – good quality products at great prices?” It is a very good question. The answer is that when you buy from Scrubs123.com you are enjoying factory direct prices. Scrubs123 is an affiliate of Medline Industries, Inc., the Nation’s largest privately held supplier of healthcare supplies. Medline literally produces MILLIONS of scrub tops and scrub pants each year in our own state of the art manufacturing facilities. We apply the same stringent quality standards to the Scrubs123 scrubs as we do to the scrubs made for hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities across the country.

Other online retailers have to purchase scrubs from a manufacturer, and then add in their profit before they can sell it to you. Because these retailers are a “middle man” between the actual manufacturer and you, they have to charge higher prices.

Looking to spice up the office for Valentine’s Day? We have some quick and easy decorating ideas as well as a fun game that will help you bond with the other nurses!

1.) Bring construction paper to create hearts and snowflakes in the shape of hearts. These can be hung, taped onto walls or laying on a table in the waiting room/front desk area. This is a great way to bring some color and creativity to the bland waiting room.
2.) Flip out your regular clip boards with pink ones!
3.) We all know that the best part of Valentine’s Day is the candy! So, have every nurse bring in their favorite kind of candy to share with the group. For the pre-wrapped candies, you can put them in jars or clear cups as another decoration.
4.) A fun game would be to have every nurse write a fact about themselves that most people wouldn’t know, and then each nurse would pick a fact and have to figure out who the fact belongs to. If they figure it out before the end of their shift they get a prize!

As nurses you have one of the most hands-on jobs. You must be mindful of what you touch, how you handle equipment and observe proper hygiene protocols. This can all take a toll on your skin. Depending on where in the nursing field you are, you have to wash your hands upwards of 50 times in a day!

The harshness of anti-bacterial soap can severely dry out your hands and make them cracked and uncomfortable. Nobody likes to let other people see their cracked hands. After all, to many of your patients, your hands are healing hands! Take care of your hands so they can take care of your patients. Using something like Remedy ® Nutrashield which traps in the moisture can keep your hands soft and comfortable. The important piece is to make sure you use the moisturizer as frequently during the day as possible. The more often you use it, the more effective it will be at keeping your hands smooth!

Additional things to do to help protect your hands are to wear gloves whenever you go outside (obviously to protect your hands from the elements), avoid using harsh industrial soaps, wash your hands with lukewarm water (hot water doesn’t help your dry hands) and stay hydrated!

Another skincare must-have for nurses is the lip balm. With all the smiling you need to do during the day, having chapped, cracked lips makes smiling painful and can even cause some bleeding which wouldn’t be a great thing to greet a patient with! Remedy® Lip Balm starts to work instantly on your lips leaving a refreshing cool sensation to bring relief to your lips!

This Friday is National Wear Red® Day. In an effort to raise awareness about heart disease among women, The American Heart Association (www.heart.org) started a campaign to encourage women to wear red.
As many of you already know, heart disease is the number one cause of death among females in America according to The Center for Disease Control & Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm) . Many women believe heart disease is a problem for older men however; heart disease can occur in anyone, no matter their age, gender or race. Factors such as eating habits, exercise and lifestyle choices such as smoking are big factors that can help reduce your chances for heart disease and/or heart attacks. As nurses, you know lots about many different illnesses and diseases.

You know how to take care of others and what advice to give them to prevent certain illnesses. Sometimes you use your own advice. Take the time to check on yourself and make sure you are healthy and making good choices when it comes to your day to day habits. After all, you can’t help others unless you can help yourself first!

While Feb 3rd is the National Day to wear red, don’t let people forget about heart disease. Wear red scrubs as a constant reminder to yourself & others to keep their hearts healthy!
