Shoes and Extra scrubs

[DarkBluePhoenix]

Do any of you CNA's bring extra scubs to work?

What kind of shoes do you recommend?

sorry i am combining questions to avoid over posting :)

how economical of me eh?

I sometimes keep extra scrubs in my locker, but not always. I've only had to use them once. :)

As for shoes, if you go to the main "Nurses" tab and go down to Nursing Shoes and Footwear, you can read all kinds of recommendations. Personally, I rotate a pair of Crocs with a pair of Birkis and it works very well for me. :)

i was thinking of crocs, but which ones tho? the swiss-cheese ones (lol the hole-y ones)

or do they make other types of shoes?

I do NOT wear the ones with holes in them to work - I'd end up having soaked, dirty feet every night. They actually make a lot of different styles! I had a pair of Specialists (with side vents) that I wore until they were worn out, and I recently replaced them with a pair of the new Mercy Works. I got them in white, I think they're actually pretty cute for what they are. Here's a link to the "work shoes" section at Crocs:

The Mercy Works especially are super cushiony, and they do have slightly more arch support than the specialists. They are also a little narrower and less clunky looking, and more slip resistant. :)

really? cause i have a high arch and narrow foot so the mercy works would be better?

[yousoldtheworld]

They are definitely narrower. They still don't have the arch support that something like Birks have, but they do have more than other Crocs styles.

I have high arches, too. I get arch support inserts and I add them to my Crocs for the best of both worlds - extra support, but soft cushion and great shock absorption.

good idea and thanks!
