Fun question, Just curious, some love to buy scrubs.:)

I work part time. I have about 8 sets...all of which I bought from yard sales for $1. or less or had been given to me. They are all nice tops (and pants) too! :yes:

I think theyre so comfy, i dont have too many because i havent started working yet, so i was just curious as to how many do nurses typically own.

I think I have 6 pairs. I'm very picky and will only buy a certain top and certain pants but I am never scheduled for more than 5 shifts in a row, so I have enough to get through that plus one extra to ride around in a bad in my vehicle.

Eight pairs of pants, not counting the three spare ones I keep for emergency purposes, I would guess around 10 to 12 actual scrub shirts and 7 facility-approved t-shirts with the facility logo on them. I have three different pairs of work shoes, too. I wear one pair strictly for working my main assignment during the week and two others for working weekends.

Too many....yellows, greens, purples (my favorite), blacks, browns, blues...print tops for cartoons I love, and seasonal prints. Sets and single pieces. No white scrubs though...dint't get me started on my pairs of Danskos and sneakers! ;)

I'm like the PP- I have too many! I think I have every color imaginable in bottoms, and then countless tops to match the bottoms. Too bad I can't wear any anymore because I currently work in surgery, and considering I'm on a contract at the hospital I work at (due to tuition assistance), I'll be wearing navy when I finish nursing school.

I like having scrubs though because you never know... besides, I tend to wear scrub pants to work before I have to change into clean/sterile scrubs. :-)

I work 24 to 48 hours a week depending on how much I want to work. I own 3 pairs of "working" teal scrubs. 1 pair of teal that is on its last legs and another pair of teal that is too small now. I own 3 pairs of working black scrubs which I use the pants for my school uniform occasionally. I have two white shirts that are included in the previous counts that are paired with 1 color pants. The plan is to replace the two pairs of pants with the proper color of scrubs once I get hired in as an RN as the two main hospital systems and even the third have different colors of scrubs. Actually a fourth I am considering due to where I moved has a different color of scrubs which would be one of the previous colors for nurses. I wouldn't mind reusing those scrubs.

Black is for one role and teal is for a 2nd role.

I've got 4 pairs for work and about to pick 2 pairs for nursing school.

Honestly, I only have 7 scrub tops but I want more! My facility's dress code inforces white pants and pastel colored tops.

Plus, DD's Discounts has scrub tops for as cheap as $5!

I was working per diem so I got by with only 2 sets for the first 3 months of working. I have purchased 4 more sets and 2 coordinating tops since I will be working full-time soon, which brings my total to 6 sets (or 8 outfits). I would probably own more if sizing wasn't so limited for me.
