character scrubs


I recently accepted a position within an exclusive children's hospital. Our only real dress code is to be kid friendly. I'm searching for a new variety of scrubs, and was wondering where you all get the best deals on the character printed tops?

I'd hate to sound like a stingy cheapie, but Wal-Mart has quality Disney cartoon character scrub sets. Also, you can find colorful, "kid-friendly" scrubs on www.Ebay.com that are reasonably priced.

Nurse Re: character scrubs
well, here's really cheap and easy

I went to the local craft store and got some iron-on patches (they have Disney, Pooh, and other kiddie oriented ones) and ironed them onto my present solid color scrubs, you can do on pockets or upper left chest area.

If you're talented with a needle (the thread kind) you can also find cute buttons to sew on, I found teddy bears, alligators, smiley faces.

At least for now, till after the holidays, when I might have a few extra dollars, I have cute "character scrubs" for only a few dollars.

I know of two places that I find to be really good when it comes to discounts. You can sign up for both to get catalogs in the mail...uniform city sometimes sends coupons for 30% off which is really good.

Hope this helps & congrats on the new job!
