Just got hired as a PCT/nurse extern on a telemetry floor (yay!) and I am in the market for scrubs. My school has us wear Cherokee Workwear Revolution brand and they are honestly quite comfortable...but I am unsure if I can compare a 5 hour clinical to three (12) hour shifts. What are your favorite scrub brands in terms of value, comfort, and style? Not in the market to buy FIGS or Jaannuu (spelling?) because I am on a college student's budget ?

I also get the Uniform Advantage store brand equivalent which might be a couple of dollars less expensive for the same fabric blend and fit. No longer bother with prints even though I usually work with peds patients.

They’re both equally comfortable (in somewhat different ways), but the Grey’s tend to pill and become threadbare in high contact areas. I’ve had my HH for several years and they look great exactly the same as when I bought them.

I also get those, especially when they are on sale. UA brand like Cherokee Core Stretch name escapes me right now. It might be Flex 2, slightly different than original Flex.

I bought a couple of the scrubs dresses- they’re already soft but washing them only makes them more so. Cherokee scrubs are not my favorites in any model. I have revolution and a Different model. I don’t like either.I was totally in love with Med Couture “Gigi” scrub pants but alas, they’re no longer available:(

Expensive AF, but they are smooth, fit nicely, and look make you look like a clean professional! Best part are the joggers! I just bought another 2 pairs ?, but only because it was on sale. I never buy them at full price LOL.When I first started working, Cherokee and Dickies were a decent fit and more affordable with plenty of pockets.
