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 […]
