Why scrubs?

Published

I've been wonderinag for quite some time now, is there a special reason scrubs are used instead of some other uniform? I can't really think of anythig you can do in scrubs that you couldn't do in jeans and a t-shirt. I know that scrubs give you that medical look, but is there any other real purpose for their design?:confused:

No idea why, but thank goodness for scrubs!

I used to wear scrub dresses with a tie belt that was mandatory unless pregnant. Had to wear hose and slip. i would much rather wear scrub tops and pants. More modest and comfortable with all the contorting positions I find myself in on a busy floor. Scrubs with a bit of stretch are great! And pockets. (and no more pantyhose).

I would wash mine and put in dryer for about 5-7 min. and then hang dry to keep them looking new.
