Best Scrubs for Fatties

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am fat, and not bold and beautiful fat. I'm 5'4" and 148 lbs. I wear a size 12 if it's generous, otherwise a 14. I look small (bones, arms, below knee), but my hips are 44, waist 35, bust 43. And I'm a new grad. Yes, my goal is to lose 20-30 pounds, but that's probably on hold as my stress level just continues to stay high.

SOoooo, what's the deal with scrubs for fatties? Scrubs seem to be becoming such a fashion statement, what's a girl to do?! Do short tops look better, or is it best to go traditional long and cover up the hip area? Keep it medical like you don't care, or go all out cutsey/fashion and hope fo the best?

This is a serious question. What do all the RNs (and I know there are tons) who don't look like they run 10miles every a.m. wear?

TY.

Try Urbane. They fit shorter so you don't have to get them all the way down over your hips. I really like the cut and I wear an XL in them. Don't know if they offer a petite cut tho which I'd get at 5'1" I think (I'm 5'6")

Thanks!! I will check that company out. Right now, the scrubs I have are by a company called UA.

Have a great day :)
