manly scrub top protocol...

[AVMadd]

So is there any. The scrub tops with the two pockets at the front hem seem way more practical, but is that style considered girlie? Do most guys wear scrub tops with the single breast pocket? Or am i just imagining things? Thoughts??

Thanks,

tie-dyes and camo prints are NEVER ALLOWED!!!!! They are hidious and ugly and make you look like a big fat D-bag for the camo and a big fat hippe for the tie-dye. Sorry but those are two of the most unattractive patterns in human history. You might as well wear flippin paisley!

Funny, I think all my military friends look good in the new digital type camo patterns. But thats just me.

i always wore the landau for men tops that have the vented shoulder seams and the one breast pocket on the left. they make cargo pants with tons of pockets and with belt loops, which was great for me, since i like to tuck in the top and the pants would get weighed down with all the stuff i'd have to carry around all day.

I have both styles. It's been my experience that the two pocket top gets in the way. If you have to lean, bend, lift....some of the things in my pockets would fall onto the floor (gross!). When providing, care the front of my top would bump into the bedside and/or I had to watch out so the contents wouldn't spill/bump a resident. I never found them practical. I went to Wal-Mart and found single-colored scrubs. The top has one breast pocket, but the pants have three deep pockets on each leg. Very comfy and practical. I've got them in black, blue, brown, grey, red, and my favorite...booger-green! lol!

I wear green scrubs with the top tucked in. People tease me about being the surgeon.

Landau 7-pocket pants with belt loops so I can carry my Leatherman (handiest thing ever invented), i-Pod Touch (has my drug guide in it), cell phone (we use them to communicate at work) and the Landau For Men tops.

I wear scrubs from the guys section that have:

A left breast pocket (for pens)

Left ABD pocket for a pocket protector with: 1-Pen light (they have really nice LED ones at Walmart for like $3 and they last forever), 1-hemostats, 1-pair of scissors, a pocket of alcohol swabs, and then a ton freefloating in the same pocket, my report sheet (it's 11x7 that I made up myself and is the bomb), and an EKG rate card.

Right ABD pocket for (shh don't tell) my cell phone on vibrate, and any meds that a patient may refuse or not require (Vitals are crappy and they have scheduled lopressor, etc).

My PANTS have 2 pockets on the right knee area and one butt pocket. My wallet is a shiny leather, so it flips right out of my pocket if I keep it in there when I sit down (aka: I don't). The side pockets usually hold my cordless phone that we carry in house (the IP phones).

They exist, I promise!

@tampa tech..............i did not know what tye-dies were so I googled it and now I understand your point of view

pockets are your friends, brother! try dickies or aviators. oh and koy has men's scrubs now, the only down side i have found to koy men is the sizing runs a little small vs. other brands so make sure you try before you buy.

Landau has a seven pocket pant that actually has two hip pockets and belt loops for a regular belt rather than using a drawstring.

Nothing but Dickies 8-Pocket Cargo scrub pants and 1 breast pocket v neck top for me. The two side pockets are FAR too feminine for me but a fellow male nurse that I work with wears them. To each his own.
