I prefer cotton/polyester blends because they dry rapidly in the clothes dryer, and they're far less likely to wrinkle than the 100% cotton scrubs. I also need the two pockets on the front bottom portion of all my tops.

[CT Pixie, BSN, RN]

print design: i have a certain theme i go with if its a print (prefer to not divulge, might give away who i am to someone who posts here and works with me, i am well know for my tops)

style: must have at least 2 front pockets on tops.

fit: i prefer a nice fit, not too tight, and i hate too baggy!

color: pants are always white for me, tops are usually a white background with some sort of subtle pastel color or my "theme" design

brand: tops can be any brand, bottoms have to be from work 'n gear. rxgear is what they call them. its the only brand that fits me.

i love soft tops, scrubs that don't wrinkle easily, scrubs that can take some wear and tear after washing. although the type of scrub bottoms i get aren't, i prefer a thicker pair of pants (not as see through and tougher against snags, tears etc)

DEEP pockets that permit you to bend over without your stuff falling out.

100% cotton - breathes well and keeps cool.

Make my own scrub tops to get bigger pockets with less chance of "poke thru" with pens/scissors, covers my butt and doesn't ride up much when I bend over. Sleeves are set in instead of all one piece - better range of motion that way and sleeves are longer and don't show bra.

Pants - usually get the SCRUBS brand in 100% cotton. Otherwise I break down and sew my own so I know I am getting thicker fabric, better stitching.

I wear seasonal tops (spring, summer, fall, winter, holidays)

sorry wrong typo...

what do you look for.

I prefer the Dickies brand. The top has two left chest pockets, one for your pen, sharpie, and penlight, and the other for alcohol pads. The cargo pants are great too, especially if you work behind someone who didnt stock supplies for your shift. I have almost everything i will need in those pockets.:)

print design: anything - no theme or anything yet

style:cherokee pants tall workwear unisex drawstring cargo

fit: long- i want to try the cherokee tall flare leg- but the waist measurements appear smaller so i am afraid to order them

color: any

brand: cherokee for pants. not found a long deep pocket tops. need to learn to sew to make my own. hehehe

[amybud, BSN, RN]

print design: no theme yet, but i tend to buy alot of flowers/butterflies prints.

style: i :redbeathe pockets! shirt has to have two patch pockets. the side slit pockets just don't cut it for me lol. i like the cherokee shirts because they have the extra cell phone pocket that i put pens in. my pants have to have at least one cargo pocket.

fit: not too tight, and not too baggy or frumpy.

color: as i look at my scrubs, i'm noticing that i have alot of red/pink and shades of blue going on.

brand: shirt: cherokee workwear v-neck or cherokee hq prints.

pants: my very very favorite is koi lindsay pants, but they are kinda pricey and getting hard to find in tall sizes, so i also like the cherokee workwear unisex drawstring cargo.

A. Tops MUST have 2 large patch pockets. Absolute necessity.

2. Pants must NOT be white!!!!!

C. Won't buy anything that costs more than what I make per hour.

4. No cutesy character prints.

make my own. add lots of pockets -double seamed to prevent poke through of pens,hemostats, and sissors. I put them on the front min. two. and have learned to do cargo pockets on pants as well. avoid see through whites unless very thick. like dark solids as they don't show stains. keep a set at work down to the socks and undies for changing after spills of (bodily) fluids mine or patients. : >

I like the Cherokee workwear scrub sets - they meet all my requirements --- tops have the large double pockets, pants have the MUST HAVE cargo pockets (the short one is perfect for ETOH wipes and the deep one perfect for flushes) and the most important requirement of all for a tall gal who's "all legs" is that they have a great variety of colors in their tall unisex pants, with matching tops.

Happy Shopping!
