Re: how many pairs of scrubs do you have?

Maybe 6-7 sets, plus a few jackets. I have never been scheduled more than 3 days a week. I started out doing 3 12's and now I'm on weekend option. I just couldn't justify the expense. I probably get a new set once a year. I probably buy 2-3 pair of new shoes though. I wear my Crocs everywhere.

Re: how many pairs of scrubs do you have?

Well I was pleased to find out that allheart's brand "petite medium" size does in fact fit someone with a 26 inch inseam. They could be a half inch shorter but I'm not tripping over them. The butt's kinda roomy but the crotch is in the right place so overall they fit pretty good.

The metroscrubs top I ordered was the same fabric composition as something else I have by Barco and it doesn't have the same soft hand. I dunno if fabric softener is going to do a thing for it, plus my patient sneezed charcoal on it the first time I wore it. Yeah. It was white.

I'm a scrub-a-holic and fully admit it, lol. I think I've got around 25 sets with some extra tops that I've not gotten pants for yet.

I live in them and actually own more scrubs than regular everyday clothes, lol.

Re: how many pairs of scrubs do you have?

I have about 10 sets from the different hospitals I had clinicals in. I now have about 20 sets from urbane/scrubmed/dickies. My favorite are the hospital ones - they are the softest. I can't wear jackets - I'm in the NICU but I do have 2 fluffy vests. Sometimes I wear the sterile gowns after line insertion to keep warm. I have about 10 pairs of Dansko clogs to match color and my favorite are the new sport - very squishy!!!! It's good to have the compressions stockings to, "4yourlegs.com" is a great website to purchase them.

You and me both! I actually lost a lot once and put it back on. Bad me. But I am planning to go back on my diet that I did well on back then. It was a low carb/low fat high protein that I followed w/a doctor's supervision.

No real sets of scrubs for me yet. I can't wait though. I am starting CNA class on the 21st and I am trying to find some white scrub bottoms. I'm holding off on buying anything until I have a job, though - I know that every place has different rules about what to wear etc.

Re: how many pairs of scrubs do you have?

I love beautiful scrubs, and I'm having even more tops made. i just bought some gorgeous fabrics and can't wait to have them made into tops!

Here's a sample of some of the fabrics I just got- As you can see, I'm partial to florals.

I have 5 pair of scrubs. Our hospital provides the scrubs (all white and seethrough) and they also wash them... so except for the colour no complains here.

None.
I have kept my 2 school's student uniform dresses and one cap.. My scrubs I packed up in 30 gallon rubbermaid boxes and gaive them to a medical missionary. I also gave 30 stethescopes and 30 pair of nice hanes white high top socks. This pastor goes out west to an INDIAN HEALTH FACILITY. i I get many thank yous. Sevreal local nurses do the same thing.
