Scrub Shopping!

Published

Hi everyone....I just graduated in Dec..and I start my new job on monday and I need to get some scrubs....I really like the look of the Dickies line of scrubs...

Does anyone know of a store where I can buy the Dickies line??

I would like to try them on since I dont really know what size I am.....I have seen tons online but that doesn't help much...

Do all scrubs pretty much fit the same???

Any feedback would help....THANKS!:)

Dickies are great scrubs to buy, and have a good fit to them. Check the white and yellow pages of your phone book for uniform stores. After you find out your right size, allheart.com is a great place to shop for uniforms and nursing supplies. :)

BTW........CONGRATS on your success, and wish you well in your new job! :nurse:

I LOVE my Dickies scrubs....especially the cargo pants. They fit nice and are comfortable. Also, they make a really soft line of scrubs that feel so nice against your skin. I get mine from allheart.com . My favorite is the ceil blue/navy blue bandana top with the navy cargo pants. Even my whites for school are Dickies. Plus, the best part is they make PETITES!!! Very important for all 61 inches of me!!

We have a uniform shop that will order for us if they dont carry something. You might ask your retailer if they will special order so you can try them, they may decide to carry the line if people like them. I have a couple tops and love the pockets. They have loops inside to clip pens, and the pockets are doubled at different depths.

Dickies also makes tall sizes. I just got another order from allheart.com and I'm most thrilled with this batch of scrubs I ordered. They fit great and I don't look 15lbs heavier than I really am (as I do with a lot of scrubs). And they were actually the cheaper line of Dickies (I think a set was around $16).

anybody know any scrubs that fit well for big booties? My stomach is small, but I have "child bearing" hips and a Jennifer-Lopez-like booty, only not quite as large. All the scrubs I find either are too tight in the booty or fall off my waist. Even the draw string types are sometimes too large in the waist! I know I'm not the only nurse out there with a large booty, so any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!
