Recommendation for scrubs?

Hi all :)

I am just starting nursing school, and we have to wear the school's polo, but purchase our own white scrub pants. I was hoping to get a few recommendations for NICE (I have seen some awful cheap ones....not what I am looking for) scrub pants.

Where do you guys get yours?

    They carry a lot of different brands (including their own). They carry many sizes, including tall (which is great....I'm a 6 ft. female), and petite.

    You can find decent scrub pants at WalMart--I know they're decent because I wear them. IMO, you don't want to break the bank on white scrub pants because most likely, the only time you'll ever wear them is for school. Once you graduate you'll never want to wear white scrubs again if you can help it :)

    But if you feel better not going to Wally-World, try allheart.com.

    I don't mind getting them at walmart, in fact I have looked there. But they seem so scratchy lol...do they get softer when you wash them?

    What is this life uniform you speak of!? I don't think I have ever seen or heard of one.

    Hey, this is a little off topic, but if you have to wear the white scrub pants for two years, invest in some nude/flesh-colored underwear. White panties under white pants, especially if they are thin, just makes you look like you have a giant white tushie.

    And (this is just my opinion) -- would recommend that you not wear a thong. I have known a fair amount of nurses that will gossip if they can't see your panty lines. Yes -- I know -- in this day and age, there are better alternatives to panty lines, but there are still those that think if you don't have them, you are either going commando or your moral fiber leaves something to be desired. Or both.

    Just my off topic two cents....

    They do improve with washing :)

    And I second the poster who recommends nude underwear...though if you can't do the nude, wear white: it's far better to have the white tush than seeing someone in white scrubs with underwear underneath that you can see is brightly colored or--even worse--print.

    They have ones that have minimal panty lines...Hanes makes a version.

    WM's brand is SB Scrubs. Nice, thick twill.

    Oh yeah...a heads-up: the pants do come in a few different styles. The sizes of the unisex pants (and it will say "unisex") run rather large compared to the others. So try on each style before you buy.

    Personally, I prefer the flare leg style with the drawstring and cargo pockets--nice look and good fit for me.
