Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

My suggestion, stay away from fanny packs. There's a guy at my work, really REALLY nice guy, a little over bearing at times, but still a nice guy.
He has people talking about him constantly about his 'fanny pack' they call him FP for short, when hes not around of course.
I hear about these things, but I haven't the heart to say anything about it to him, because he is truly attached to the silly thing.
Just my .02
I do stick up for him around the others, telling them, he really is a nice guy if you can get past the 'fanny pack'

Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

Go to www.scrubs.com and they have scrubs that come unhemmed. Although not male, I have problems finding scrubs long enough (almost 6ft tall). You willhave to pay a little more, but it's woth it and some of them have several pockets.

Oh please tell the poor sap! I remember once I was elected to let one of our male nurses know that he needs to wear more deodorant-now that has to be worse than your situation...lol.

If it was me I sure hope you'd tell me...hmm wonder if they make fun of me for my apron with 30 pockets...you think?....lol

Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

Sorry to CPR this thread back to life after it has been buried for so long. I am starting my training as a CNA in a couple of weeks. The LTC facility that hire me and several others is going to put us through the class and certification.

Working in maintenence at a feed mill before switching careers I wore an MP3 armband that was big enough for the large 80 gig Ipod Video. I carried my most frequently used tools, tape and electrical connectors in it wrapped around my bicep. I am going to try to do the same as a CNA.

I do wear a fann...er...waist pack at times when I ride my motorcycle as my leathers do not have any pockets. Also it is easier to fish stuff out of it without taking off my gloves than it to dig my wallet or stuff out of my pockets.

If a guy wears a fanny pack, it is simply called a "man bag".

Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

Three pair of scrub pants.....KIA in just three months. I am 6' 5" and look as if I believe Noah was telling the truth in regards to a flood. The problem is the length, but also the crotch! I swing my leg over my bike to ride home and then spend the next ten minutes trying to not be indecent while pedaling my heart out...not to mention the gusts!

There is a clothing company that I have thought of petitioning. Prana makes rock climbing clothes, of which I do a little, and they have a special piece of fabric sown in the crotch to allow more movement. Just some thoughts as I wore these as my scrub pants this past summer. Take it for what it's worth.

Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

I use Cherokee scrub pants and tops. The have the side pockets on the legs. I am 6'2 and the pants work great for me. My normal waist for pants is a 34 or 36. I use the Tall in Large pants and they fit like a glove. Very comfortable, and easy to move around in. Length is not a problem at all.

As for the fanny pack. Its a nice idea at times but its not always used. I carry a pack that is about half the size of the original fanny pack. It is full of items that I use on a daily basis, but I only use the items in the bag when I end up in a room or something that may be missing some items. Its more of a backup because its not convenient to always have to be reaching back for the bag.

Re: Tall scrubs? What about fanny packs?

I wear Landau Tall scrubs. Problem is they only come in about three colors. I talked to the local scrub shop and Landau will take special orders, mix and match any of their colors for a 6 piece minimum So I have a nice order coming!
