You must have already seen nurses wearing nursing
scrubs during one hospital moments that you had at one point in time. Nursing scrub is a special kind of apparel
worn by nurses. It is often referred to
as nursing gown. It is similar clothing
worn by surgeons and midwives also. If
you are observant, you might wonder that there are certain nurses wore the same
attire but somehow there are little differences. This can be explained.
Buttons at The Back And In Front
There are two types of nursing scrubs based on
placements of buttons; at the back and in front. Those that have buttons in front are typical
scrubs worn during regular duties of a nurse and those that have buttons at the
back are usually used during surgeries. The
reason for this is to avoid mishaps during operations such as surgical
equipments getting stuck at the button for example. Whatever the style, this nursing gown should
be loosen enough to warrant body movements while performing different nursing
activities while on duties.
Colors
You might wonder how come in a particular hospital,
you might have seen nursing scrubs in different colors and even has print on
it. Generally, colors determine who is
who. For example, surgeon’s scrubs are
in green while nursing scrubs are in blue and sometimes in white and even in
pink. When you see nurses wearing
printed nursing scrubs like Mickey Mouse prints, these nurses are paediatric
nurses. Prints are intended in order to
appease children.
Type of Material
It can be made of cotton or polyester or a
combination. Polyester nursing scrub is
low maintenance; easy to dry, wrinkle free, and stretchable. Cotton on the other hand is durable, protects
inner garment from being visible, and very soft. However, this type of material takes time to
dry.
There is no such thing as ideal nursing scrub. If you are a nurse and wants to buy one of
these, check your hospital administration first prior to making a
purchase. The hospital might have
certain requirements when it comes to nursing scrubs.
