Best haircuts and styles for a long shift

By Alma G.

Let’s talk about one of the top pet peeves of a nurse’s style: After Work Hair. Many of you stuff it in and out of a cap throughout the day, you pull it back to get it out of your face, you clip it off your eyes, and then, at the end of your shift, you’re stuck with a ‘do you wouldn’t sport to a monster truck rally, let alone out on the town.

I understand that the Intensive Care floor isn’t a catwalk, but there are simple things you can do to manage your hair and keep it stylish, especially if you have after-work engagements. Click here to read more at scrubsmag.com!

Tips to Take Care of your Scrubs

You buy a new top that you’re crazy about, wash it for the first time and… it shrinks. Ugh. You’ve had a new pair of red pants for only a month and… it’s not as red anymore. Ugh! You wear that new outfit for the very first time and… you get a stain. UGH! How aggravating!

We expect our scrubs to show a little wear over time, and stains are part of work, but we want to enjoy that new look and feel for as long as possible. So, what can be done about it? Here are the top three issues we hear about from our customers… Shrinking, Fading, and Stains, with a few tips that can help preserve the life of your new scrubs.

Shrinking & Fading
It can’t be said enough, FOLLOW THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TAG. Scrubs are usually worn quite often, and therefore, are washed a lot! Washing in hot water and drying on high can make a new set of scrubs look older and feel a little tighter before it’s time. In general, it’s typically recommended to:

• Wash in COLD water, with like colors
• Tumble dry on LOW (or better yet, let air dry)

It’s that simple, and stretches your $$$!

Stains
There are too many types of stains to count, and none of them are any good! There are many stain removers available to purchase, with some well worth your money, and some a little less effective. But I wanted to share an article that suggests using something you might already own (saving $$$) to remove most of the type stains you’ll typically encounter.

Tee’s can Add a Little Warmth

What scrubs style is best for your body type?

By Katie Sparks
There are four basic body types. Knowing your type is imperative in creating the right look. Many people differentiate these shapes by using fruit as examples. I don’t really like to think of myself as a pear, even though I might have the shape of one. Therefore, I won’t be mentioning any type of fruit in this article!
