Dickies Scrub Set

Dickies Scrub Set

For the past century and a half, the nursing uniform has been the norm in professional medical apparel. Typically, early scrub uniforms were stiff and no nonsense dresses in solid white with white shoes and starched, white caps. Nurses in big city hospitals as well as country nurses making the rounds with doctors all conformed to the same basic fashion: white, white, and more white, with very few style variations. Fortunately, those days are long since past, and today's nurses can breathe a collective sigh of relief. But it is interesting to examine the reasons why this change occurred, and what new options are available.

Part of the reason for the changeover in the look of nursing uniforms was simply the fashion industry intruding into the medical industry, but there are other reasons as well. One is psychological. People who are sick don't need constant reminders of their sickness - they need positive, uplifting, surroundings and support personnel. This is particularly true in children's wards, where a strict code of dress has been largely eliminated in favor of bright, cheerful colors. The hospital is a strange and threatening world to sick children. They need the reassurance of an informal and relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by people who appear normal rather than regimented. And in areas other than pediatrics, there has been a general agreement that medical professionals can best serve patients by appearing to be natural and approachable rather than stiffly formal.

What form should modern nursing uniforms and scrubs take? Functional, simple, yet as stylish as the person wearing them. When nurses are still studying-to-be, most of the uniforms used in nursing schools are costly and unstylish (perhaps to inculcate a sense of selflessness and seriousness of purpose into aspiring nurses). Like old-fashioned nurses' uniforms, nursing school uniforms are pretty much the same all over the country, which means that if a nursing student changes schools the only dress change required is the name tag. This homogenized apparel is designed to make new nurses feel a sense of esprit de corps and professionalism. Moreover it has the advantage of providing graduating nurses with a high quality nursing uniform which can still be used when they enter the marketplace. But for most nurses this drab conformity soon becomes boring.

Nowadays nursing professionals are fortunate to have at their fingertips a wide variety of scrubs online at discount prices, for unusual sizes, and in customized designs and patterns. Modern-day scrubs ensembles include top pant scrubs, jackets, warm-ups, unisex coats, dresses, Oxford-shirts, tunics, maternity smocks, and jacket lab wear. Today's endless variety of scrub uniforms styles exhibit impeccable tailoring and fine attention to details and they all have superior stain-resistance and color retention to allow for frequent washing. Fabrics are wrinkle resistant to permit active, frequent movement. Although white scrubs are available on the market, there isn't much demand for them. Not only is white drab, but also it's difficult to keep clean, and is hopeless once it is stained (and spaghetti sauce or mustard can stain just as deeply as blood). The wide variety of color patterns and floral prints available are as illimitable as your imagination - so you can let your fancy soar and still appear as professional and competent as you are.

Nowadays nursing scrub uniforms are both comfortable and high-fashion as well as functional. You can find a wide variety of styles of uniforms and scrubs at the tip of your fingers by shopping for scrubs online. Visit Scrubs & Beyond today for all your scrub needs.
