Where do you purchase your scrubs???

How hard is it to make your own scrub tops? I know some people choose to do this instead but I'm just curious if it is hard to follow the pattern?

www.lydiasuniforms.com They have Dickie's and some really cute uniforms. They also have some super soft pants. Huge selection.

If you are looking for cheap try www.taffard.com Their catalog is divided into 2 sections, the first being more expensive and the second being cheap. You can get a pair of pants and a top for $10 each. But you get what you pay for. They don't last too long.

For stores I go to Scrubs and Beyond. I also think they have a website but I've never used it. Why pay shipping when it's 15 mins away?

I've also bought NEW scrub tops on ebay. I bought one that was in the Lydia's catalog for $23 and got it new on ebay for $8, including shipping.

I buy most of my scrubs from Life Uniform. I have also bought from allheart.com and tried to buy from jasco.com but I won't go back to jasco again.

I prefer Life Uniform because it seems that manufacturers don't all follow the same size chart so I have some bottoms that are smalls and some medium. Same with the tops. I have some small, some medium.

As far as the stethoscope goes, I wouldn't spend a lot on it. I bought one for $30. The extent of its use has been to practice taking blood pressure. I never once used it in clinicals because it is all automated there (they call it robonurse).

A.J Wright sells scrubs at a very low cost, some cute ones too!!!

Moved to the Nursing Uniform forum.

I use allheart.com too.

I live in Canada (Ontario) where there are not a lot of uniform retailers. I found Scruberry which ships their products within Canada which saves me a loootttt of money instead of it coming from the U.S. Prices are cheaper than wal-mart too (unless wal-mart has a clearance of course..hehe)
Their website's www.scruberry.com

Hope that helps!

you can try www.commonscrubs.com

$15 per set. quality is super, doesn't fade... ever!

I purchase mine at nwscrubs.com They are a local store for me, but their website has more selection than in store, and usually the cheapest prices on cherokee scrubs. Hope that helps!

I have used SmartScrubs too for years... they are cotton... and comfortable and well made..you pay a little more.. but worth it...
