today I have my first shift as an aide and I am required to wear scrubs. My question is, should I iron them?

I tried them on last night and they are a tad wrinkly, so I personally want to, but I dont want to be a geek about it! lol

what do you all do?

[maire]

I don't. I'm one of those "stick it in the dryer until the wrinkles fall out" kinda people.

[twarlik]

Heck no, I never iron my scrubs! Try throwing them in the dryer and pulling them out right after it stops. This is usually good enough to get the big wrinkles out.

Good luck with your new position!

No, No, No!!! Go for the 65/35 blends. If you have wrinkles, mist with water & put in the dryer for about 5-10 minutes. You will look rumpled within 2 hours regardless of how nice your clothes look at the beginning of the day.

What's an iron???????

[dgilbert]

I guess I will admit to ironing my scrubs. I can't stand showing up for work looking rumpled.

I too have trouble not ironing them. I have a few that come out of the dryer looking good but most don't.

lol....I JUST finished ironing mine but our instructor tells us we need too...

For Clinicals and School, Yes. For work, No, I never have.

Of course I do. I wouldn't want to disapoint everyone who has realized how anal I am. Lol!
