I Need Help! Too small for scrubs??

Hello fellow nurses,

I am starting a new job and need to buy navy bottoms for my uniform. I am 95 lbs and 5ft tall. I usually wear a 0 short in pants and a small or extra small in tops. In nursing school I wore cherokee xxs petite scrubs that were way too big for me but I didn't want to spend any more money so I just wore scrubs I was swimming in. :uhoh3:

I have tried on Koi, Urbane, Dickies, Baby Phat, Grey's Anatomy, Fundamentals, Cherokee, and Peaches.

The only pants that remotely fit were dickies sandwashed flare in XS petite and peaches doo-dad pants. The dickies were so so so high rise they were up on my ribcage (ew). The peaches made me look big because they were so baggy, but they were better than the others. I didn't buy either pair. Online, I ordered one pair of the peaches adventure pant and one pair of the dickies perfect pant without trying either on and so if they don't fit i'll have to get them tailored :crying2:

I'm not sure if i can just wear navy pants (non-scrub pants). Has anyone ever done this? Navy chino/khaki type pants are fairly easy to find and fit me well at old navy or aeropostale for about $20 per pair (yes aeropostale is marketed towards prepubescent kids but they fit me well :rolleyes:). I'm not worried about tops fitting me.

Has anyone gone to work in a scrub top and regular pants? No one has specifically told me that I need to wear scrubs, I've just heard "navy bottoms and a white top" but all the nurses I saw when touring were wearing scrubs. I don't even know if anyone would notice since the waist of the pants would be covered by my top. Hmm. Please help? Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

Allheart.com makes their own pants, and they come in xxs I believe. Their pants run on the small side, so they might work for you. Good luck!
