New to working in healthcare? Haven't a clue where to start on buying scrubs?
Don't worry. We've got you.
There are some important things to consider when buying your new nurses scrubs. Read our helpful guide below to find out more!
Colour
A good place to start with scrub colour would be consulting your managers first. Ask them if there is a specific colour that you need to choose. Most of the time, a practice will have set colours depending on position or theme. However, if you are at liberty to choose your own colour, think about what each scrub colour means. Or, keep it simple and go for your favourite colour! There are a wide range of scrub colours available, so take your pick!
Size
You want your new scrubs to fit perfectly, but you also want some room to allow for comfort and maintenance. All scrub brands come with their own respective size guide that will show you what size to opt for in your scrubs. Make sure you measure your bust, waist, hips and leg length with a measuring tape, then use this to determine your size. If you are between sizes, we recommend you size up in your new nurses scrubs.
Fabric
It is highly important that you choose a nurses uniform that is the right fabric. You will need one that is stain resistant as well as easy-care, as you will need to wash your uniform every time you finish a shift. Polycotton fabric is commonly used for nurses scrubs. This fabric is breathable, tear-resistant and the ideal fabric to opt for when buying your new uniform.
...and Buy!
Once you have chosen your nurses scrubs in the correct colour, size and fabric, simply enter your details and place your order. With Diamond Designs Uniforms, you could get your new uniform in as little as 1-2 days, so there's really no better time to order than right now!
That's all for now. See you next week!
