old scrubs? what do you do with them?

See if goodwill or the local homeless shelter will take them. We use hand-me-down scubs for our clients in detox and are always taking any we can get. Did you write them off for taxes when you bought them, mabey you can do it when you donate them ???????

Some that were really raggedy I tore up and use for dusting rags.

My Dad seems to have acquired most of mine for lounging around the house and using as pajammas.

The pair I got from a Star Trek Convention that say "Star Fleet Medical Corp" is safely tucked away in my closet. :)

I'd love to have the classic Star Trek pair -- yes, I'm unabashedly a big fan.

I'd also love to ask you about that triage center in Las Vegas that closed a couple of weeks ago -- like whether you work there and if it's still closed. But that's for another thread.

Thanks!:roll :roll :roll

Ohhhh, no. You can't have them!! I don't know where else you can get them, that was several years ago when the first Star Trek movie with the New Generation cast was being promoted at the convention. George Takei was our presenter and Brent Spiner was there signing autographs.

UMC's Trauma Center re-opened after being closed 10 days. No, I don't work there....

...when i was in nursing school working "part of a part-time" job, i could've kissed the person who bought in a big green garbage bag full of used scrubs, (clean of course!), with a note attached that stated "to anyone who wants 'em, but students first"

an angel in disguise for sure! i could afford another box of top ramen!!!! (tah-heeee!)

Hee, hee! A woman after my own heart. I wouldn't give them up either.

:kiss

I wear 'em to clean house.

I was thinking about turning some of mine into a "remember" quilt. Some day when I have time to get back to that of course!

My old scub tops end up as bedding in the ferret cage as well as the upper part of the bottoms. The legs also go to the ferrets but out in the living room as play tunnels to crawl through. For those of you with kittens, they'll like this as well.

:) Tie dye them then give 'em to the kids. They make great pajamas when they get soft from so much wearing and washing.

Mind you, the high-schoolers are wearing pajamas to school now-a-days.

Don't think I could ever wear them to bed myself- would induce nightmares!!:uhoh21:
