Scrub Do’s and Don’ts


If you’re a medical professional then the scrub is probably your daily required uniform.  Let’s not kid each other here, everyone has a body type and not all things look good on everyone. This list isn’t simply about wearing a cartoon character scrub top in the ICU, these are just a few of the major fashion faux pas that I’ve seen in my day and wanted to share.
Peep Show – Ladies make sure that the scrub top you wear is the correct size. You’re at work to do a job, and giving all of your patients a peep show isn’t one of them. If you’re wearing a v neck and there is way too much skin showing, by all means wear an undershirt. Keep in mind that this is a place of business and professionalism is important.
Choose Scrubs Your Size – I’ve often seen female nurses wearing skin tight scrub pants that look like they were literally painted on. There is no way that you’re able to function let alone be productive in pants that are too tight. Choose pants that give you the ability to move and actually do your job and leave the skinny jeans for the clubs.
Transparent Scrubs – I know some nurses are required to wear white scrubs, and others choose to wear them. Whatever the case, if you’re wearing white scrubs please make sure that you have on dark colored under garments. There’s nothing worse than seeing a flowered bra through a nurses scrub top, or seeing flowered panties as they pass you. If you have something against darker colored undergarments, then definitely splurge and get white scrubs that aren’t see through.
These are only a few of the faux pas that I’ve see many nurses commit. Please don’t end up being the main topic of the break room at your job. Take a look at the selection of plus size scrubs that are offered.
