Which profession requires you to walk miles per day, indoors? If you guessed nursing, you got it right! According to a study published in MedSurg Nursing, nurses walk over four miles per shift, nearly double the amount a regular girl would walk per day. Now, that’s great for exercise purposes, but it can be rather tiresome to jog around for nearly twelve hours straight. Especially during night shift! One thing that can make your […]
There’s no doubt that the harsh disinfectants, dry hospital air, stressful work environment, and long shifts that a nurse endures on a daily basis take a serious toll on your skin. It can be a real struggle to keep your skin healthy and glowing in such a harsh daily atmosphere. To keep your skin looking its best, you’re going to need to provide some extra tender loving care. Here are some quick and convenient […]

There were 3.2 million professionally active registered nurses in 2016, and all of them are hardworking people who have dedicated their lives to helping others. If you’ve devoted your life to nursing, you are likely excited about starting your career. However, before you can get to work, you have to land a job — and that means nailing your interviews. If you are feeling nervous about interviewing, that’s okay! A little nervousness shows that […]
Seasonal scrubs are an easy way to bring a burst of holiday spirit into the often dull and dreary hospital ward. Many of the bedridden patients in the ward won’t have a chance to join with family and friends for the holidays at home this year, and what we provide them with will be the only holiday merriment they’ll experience. Every nurse has an opinion on seasonal scrubs. I think they’re really fun, and […]
You know those days when you walk outside and a blast of cold air hits you in the face? Ouch! That’s when I know that it’s time to layer up, with booties, leggings, a warm scrub jacket, and cozy underscrubs. This winter is going to have a lot of those frigid days, and who knows better about the importance of layering up in cold weather than an experienced nurse? Seriously, we nurses have got […]
I don’t know about you, but I wait for this season since, like, forever. It’s one of my favorite times of year, with everything I need at the best prices ever! I don’t know how holiday time turned into spending season, but truthfully? I don’t mind! It’s worth it; I get all the things I’ve been dreaming of buying for the […]
Nurses are stressed out and burning out. In one study, 92 percent of nurses reported moderate to very high stress levels. In another, 70 percent of nurses reported feeling burnout in their job. So much stress at work isn’t good for your health. Over-pressured nurses are susceptible to weight gain, sleep loss, and drinking, among other health risks. It’s also bad for patient health. As Med Page Today reports, higher levels of stress and […]
Today was the first time in a little while that I opened my front door, and a blast of cool air blew past me. Sweater weather! Yup; fall is upon us in full force! And when I think of autumn, what comes to my mind is hot coffee, cashmere scarves, and cozy scrub jackets. It’s great that the hospitals are kind of cold, so that the germs stay far away, but every nurse knows […]
I believe that the busier the nurse is, the better her scrubs should be! So, really hard-working nurses need absolutely awesome scrubs, like Grey’s Anatomy nursing uniforms. The good thing about Grey’s Anatomy is that there are lots of options. The only issue is when you’re short on time, you don’t want lots of options. But you still deserve the best scrubs! So, today, I’m going to share with you the benefits of each […]
What’s the Deal? If you are a fashion-savvy nurse, you’ve probably wondered at some point whether Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs are worth the price, or not. Some girls are of the opinion that Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs are the best medical scrubs that money can buy, while others are of the firm belief that spending hard-earned money on brand-name nursing uniforms is a total waste. Actually, Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs are absolutely worth the price! Here are […]
Comfort is king in 2018, and that’s true for nurses, too. Just like professionals spend their days clad in yoga pants, nurses can do the same, and still look fit for the medical world! It’s important for nurses who are moving about all shift long to wear comfortable scrub apparel. With yoga pants, you’ve got the comfort, the flexibility and the awesome freedom of movement that yoga pants afford you. Something else that’s appreciated […]
You know those patients who have just so much to talk about? They chat with you about their life, your life (you kind of do your best to avoid their questions 😉 ) and everything under the sun …Until, busy as you always are, you find a very valid reason why you have to leave this delightful conversation. One of the first things that any of your chatty patients will discuss with you is […]
Student nurses, congrats on your acceptance to college! Now that you’ve chosen a career, there are even more choices to make: Which notebooks to buy, which classes to study harder for, which scrubs to purchase. So, about the notebooks and the hard classes, I won’t really be able to assist you, but when it comes to scrubs, I’d love to help! Let me share with you exactly what every student nurse MUST look for […]
If you ask me, color coding scrubs is an awesome idea. That’s because I have a terrible time remembering faces, and I hate having to stare at a perfect stranger’s chest to figure out what she does; it’s so awkward! If she’d just have a color coded uniform, I’d know what her position is in a split second. But, at the same time, I totally get how horrible it is to have to wear […]
It’s funny; I love the full-fledged fashion in scrubs available to nurses today, but at the same time, a little part of me still likes the look of the old time nursing uniform, with its crisp, professional look. Although the days when all nurses wear white are long gone, some stalwart nurses still stick to the old class look. Take Leona Campbell, for example. Throughout the decades that she was a nurse, she stuck […]
Once upon a time, only doctors and nurses wore scrubs. Those days are long gone, together with the days of beepers and station wagons (remember those?). Nowadays, many employees who work in healthcare are required to wear medical scrubs, although they aren’t nurses, and many who don’t work in healthcare wear scrubs, too. Even regular folks wear nursing scrubs, since they’re so comfortable and easy to wear. Surprising, right? I also think scrubs can […]
Vacation season’s upon us! Although many of us nurses are way too busy to fly away to Florida or the Bahamas, some nurses get to travel to far away, remote locations—while getting paid for it! I wouldn’t call it a vacation, but… it’s pretty close. These lucky travel nurses get to visit countries so far, I can only dream of going to these places, with scrubs or without. We know that it’s not easy […]

Although I’m super busy, one thing I won’t miss is the annual July 4th fireworks. That’s my way of showing my patriotism. And I pay full taxes, too. Now that’s TWO ways of showing my loyalty as a US citizen! Yet, I know I don’t come anywhere near what other US citizens are doing for our great country. We live in the land of the free and home of the brave, where soldiers are […]
