i'm a new rn, orienting to an oncology floor. i've been reading the "what's in your pockets?" thread and found many good tips as well a few laughs. now i'm wondering what type of scrubs or gear do you find works best on your floor.
after nursing school i hoped to wear some of those cute fitted outfits. but i find i never really wear the one i bought, instead i reach for the cargo pants and a baggier top with large hem pokets to carry stuff with me. i like the cargo pants because i can carry stuff and still sit, crouch, kneel etc without stabbing myself in the belly button!
my fav pair has 4 cargo pockets on the legs. it has one large pocket on the left that i keep my pda (in a silicone skin) and stethoscope. one the right i have a three in one pocket. my sticky notes and alchohol swabs are in the cellphone pocket, scissors in the scissors pocket and a carpujet and saline flushes in the large pocket. i wish they came with the sewn in tape for clipping things to. i have a pocket organizer that i clip in some of my tops, but i'd rather have it on my leg.
for those of you who wear cargo pants or use other pocketed gear... what do you like best and why??
I LOVE SmartScrubs cargos...they're all I wear now. Yeah they're pricey, but they are so soft and comfortable, long-lasting and they come in tall sizes (I'm only 5'6", but a lot of the other cargos only come to my ankles). You can even wear them to the store and stuff without feeling like you just came from work. Lots of colors, too. Try them, you'll love them
How is the waist? I prefer a looser waist that I can roll down once to the top of my hips. If they are snug
around my waist they are uncomfortable. tia for any info
