So Many Nursing Scrubs, So Many Choices - How to Find the Perfect Set of Nursing Scrubs


If you are in the market for a new set of nursing scrubs, you will find a multitude of scrub manufacturers begging you to sport their hospital uniforms. Many people do not consider that doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel wear scrubs in the same manner that some of us wear jeans or suits and ties to work. What we wear, as we all know, can boost self-esteem, create smiles, and keep us comfortable, all the while maintaining our professionalism. With all of the choices for nursing scrubs out there, how does someone go about making an important decision such as which scrubs to wear every single day for 12 hours per day? Keep reading and we will give you some helpful hints on how to find the perfect set of medical scrubs.

The first step in finding your perfect set of hospital scrubs is to know what you want. Is there a particular color that you like or that you have to wear in your department? Do you need solids or pediatric prints? Do you prefer the pocket of the scrub top to be down by your hips or up top? Do you like cargo scrub pants or traditional? Drawstring waist or elastic? As you can see, it can be very overwhelming. Take a few moments to narrow it down.

While you are thinking about colors and styles, your next step is to think about what you are willing to spend. Although scrubs are fairly simple, usually a poly-cotton blend, and not very fashionable, you may want to consider raising the bar. Take a look at blue sky scrubs. They have taken medical scrubs up a notch, making the scrub pants boot-cut, low-rise, with fancy stitching, and the best material available. Their scrub tops are A-line and tapered to slim the waist where other scrubs fail. blue sky scrubs are not discount scrubs, they are not cheap scrubs, and they are definitely worth the few extra dollars. You would spend $50-$100 on a pair of jeans...so why not spend $60 on a set of scrubs that will make you feel great about yourself while you are at work? Do you really think that those dreaded 'one size fits most' scrubs make you look and feel your absolute best? And isn't it important to feel your best when caring for your patients?

We have now pinned down color, style, and possibly manufacturer. While we are on the topic of manufacturing, it might be a good idea to find out from where your scrubs are coming. Because the economy has slumped (and even when it hasn't), you may want to consider buying only products that are made in the USA. You are not only getting the best quality nursing scrubs available, but you are also, in a sense, helping out a fellow American. The people behind the scenes of American-based companies are hoping that you will love their scrubs.

We are now ready to shop for medical scrubs online! Here is where it gets tricky. There are so many companies reaching out for YOU. Keep in mind the three important things: color and style, spending budget, where the scrubs are made. Do a search for medical scrubs, nursing scrubs, or scrubs. Visit a few sites, take a look at the pictures, peek at the prices, and read the "About Us" pages. Keep your eye out for a scrub company that you believe will take care of you as an individual, be of the best quality and design, offer fast and inexpensive shipping, and guarantee their products. One more time, I highlight blue sky scrubs as an example. Their products are top-of-the line when it comes to quality. But how is their customer service? blue sky scrubs will bend over backwards to ensure customer satisfaction. Because they are a local scrub business (in the United States), I feel more comfortable knowing that I can show up at their warehouse if I am not satisfied. However, I have never had that problem. Any time I have contacted blue sky scrubs, I get a quick and knowledgeable response from a real person. There is no automated "person" who will "help us to better direct this call..." These are things that are very important when choosing your scrub designer.

Best of luck to you when searching for those perfect, fashionable scrubs! Oh, and don't forget to purchase your medical scrub hats, medical coats, and medical accessories while you are at it! We will go over how "the (medical scrub cap) Pony design killed the bouffant" another day.

Sir Robert Mark - Telegraph.co.uk

Mark's paramount concern was that Scotland Yard should maintain its autonomy, and that the police themselves should handle complaints against the force – or service, as it was by then becoming known. Although far from dyed-in-the-wool "old school", Mark believed in police inviolability, arguing that freeing them from political or bureaucratic interference was essential to the preservation of democracy.

"The police must not even seem, in dealing with industrial disputes or political demonstrations, to reflect the wishes of the government of the day," he wrote in his memoirs, published in 1978. "Their manifest impartiality is their most priceless asset."

Mark's views on the handling of complaints against the police were at odds with those of Roy Jenkins, the Home Secretary who had first appointed him. Faced with growing evidence of police misconduct, Jenkins insisted that complaints should be investigated by an independent body, enjoying public confidence.

Mark indignantly insisted that what was proposed would undermine police discipline and compromise effective investigation. When the bill was enacted, Mark resigned rather than administer legislation that he could not accept.

Robert Mark was born on March 13 1917 in the Manchester suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, the youngest of five children. His father prospered in the clothing trade, but when the family moved to a bigger house, Robert saved his bus money by walking to and from William Hulme's Grammar School. Although undistinguished academically, he became captain of rugby and head prefect.

His first job as a carpet salesman bored him, and in 1937 he applied to join the Manchester city police, to the dismay of his father who protested that it was only one step better than going to prison. Released for military duties in 1942, he trained at Sandhurst and was posted to 108 Tank Brigade. He then transferred, thanks to the influence of his elder brother James at the War Office, to a more exciting role with the Phantom (GHQ Liaison) Regiment, which liaised with specialised commando teams. At the end of the war Mark found himself, as an ex-policeman, promoted to staff captain and posted to the military government in Germany, where he remained until his demobilisation in 1947 in the rank of major.

Back in Manchester, working in Special Branch as a detective sergeant, Mark toyed with leaving the police. But a series of rapid promotions landed him in the chief constable's office as chief superintendent in charge of administration, younger than the youngest inspector in the force.

When Mark's application for the assistant chief constable's job at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was rejected, he enrolled for a course at the Police College, the only one he attended in his 40-year police career. "I must be the classic example," he recalled, "of the man who beat the system."

On New Year's Day 1957, Mark took over as chief constable of Leicester. Dropped off in his new Ford Consul by his brother (Mark had yet to learn to drive), he was startled to discover that under the genial rule of his predecessor, staff at police headquarters went home for lunch. Abolition of such domestic excesses was followed by more visible reforms; in 1961, to general acclaim, Mark cancelled an order for hundreds of parking meters and instead established a corps of traffic wardens administering a fixed penalty system.

Following the escape of the Soviet spy George Blake from Wormwood Scrubs in 1966, Mark served on Lord Mountbatten's inquiry into prison security. It was on his return from a visit to Dartmoor amid the clamour caused by another escape – that of Frank "Mad Axeman" Mitchell – that Jenkins offered Mark the post of assistant commissioner at the Met. Mark was appointed deputy to Sir John Waldron the following year, and Commissioner in 1972.

In November 1969 The Times had exposed corruption in the Met's CID of such an astonishing scale that one leading criminal lawyer likened it to catching the Archbishop of Canterbury in bed with a prostitute. Mark said the story "rocked the Metropolitan Police to its foundations".

The implications were still reverberating when, in February 1972, the Sunday Mirror disclosed that the Flying Squad's commander, Kenneth Drury, had been on holiday in Cyprus with a Soho businessman and celebrated villain called Jimmy Humphreys. Drury, suspended and forced to resign, was eventually jailed for eight years for corruption. Within a matter of weeks, Mark, with his provincial pedigree and reputation as "Mr Clean", took charge of the biggest and most complex police force in Britain.

Mark's famous observation that "a good police force is one that catches more crooks than it employs" was matched by drastic action. He set up A10, a criminal investigation branch within the Yard. Mark had discovered that the existing anti-corruption squad was headed by a policeman who was himself corrupt. Det Ch Supt Bill Moody, doubling as head of the obscene publications squad, had been extracting protection money from Soho pornographers; he was jailed for four years.

Mark's efforts, at a moment of deep shame for the Met, encouraged the honest majority within the force, and resulted in the resignations of several hundred detectives. But Operation Countryman, one of the biggest and longest investigations ever into police corruption, failed to stop the rot; and Mark's premature departure in 1977 was followed by a series of scandals that suggested to the public that half the detectives in London were on the take.

Mark's reign as Commissioner coincided with heightened terrorist activity in the capital, particularly from the Provisional IRA. In 1975 alone 10 people were killed and 169 injured in a total of 29 bombings and other incidents. These included the Balcombe Street siege, in which a gang of IRA gunmen – "four seedy, cowardly degenerates", as Mark later described them – took a couple hostage at their flat in Marylebone. Mark took personal command and put the SAS on standby. Hearing this on the radio, the gang surrendered; the hostages were unharmed.

In the same year Mark negotiated a successful conclusion to the Spaghetti House restaurant siege in Knightsbridge, the case he recalled as the most difficult of his career. Having bungled the theft of the restaurant takings, a gang of gunmen had taken nine Italians hostage in a smelly, cramped basement. With the police ensuring that the gunmen received only bad news, such as the suggestion that one among them was selling information to newspapers, the hostage-takers surrendered as the siege entered its sixth day, without a shot being fired. Among those to congratulate Mark was Lord Mountbatten.

Mark's most surprising appearance as Commissioner was in a series of television commercials for car tyres that ran from 1974. His wooden endorsement ("I believe Goodyear tyres make a major contribution to road safety") ensured cult status for the campaign.

In retirement he held several directorships and wrote his memoirs, In the Office of Constable. He was awarded the Queen's Police Medal in 1965 and knighted in 1973.

Robert Mark married, in 1941, Kathleen Mary Leahy, who died in 1997. Their son and daughter survive him.

Surgical Scrub Jackets, Pants, Tops and Beyond


Since the 1940s, surgical uniforms were essential in operating rooms across the country. As doctors became aware of the importance of wound infection, they realized cleanliness in surgical situations was essentials. Wearing special garb ensured the surgeon was not wearing street clothes to perform surgery as they did in centuries gone by.

Nurses, surgeons and operating room personnel wear scrubs when they start scrubbing their hands for surgery. Just like the television show Scrubs, most hospital workers wear scrubs ranging from doctors to custodial staff. All hospital personnel working in a clean environment typically must wear scrubs. With the increased spread of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) the use of scrubs is almost universal throughout American hospitals. Surgical scrubs are worn specifically in a medical environment. Non-surgical scrubs can be worn anywhere for any reason.

While scrubs were originally designed for surgeons, the popularity quickly spread to other medical professionals. Staff working at private medical offices, clinics, veterinary hospitals and dental offices also wear scrubs because they are convenient, clean and comfortable. In a hospital environment, scrub jackets are typically embroidered with the medical facility's name. Usually hospital scrubs are issued in the standard green and bluish green colors. In other medical facilities, often personnel can choose their own scrubs. You may see a nurse in a pediatrician's office wearing whimsical scrubs with cartoon characters. In the spring, your dentist's assistant may don a floral scrub top.

Because of their uniformity and practicality, scrubs are sometimes worn by prison staff. Carefree scrub pants and tops are easy to move around in and simple to maintain, making them the perfect uniform for prison employees. But scrubs have gone way beyond the surgical room, medical offices and prisons. For years, medical professionals wore their scrub jackets and pants home because they were so comfortable. Soon everyone wanted scrubs of their own. Pants with elastic or drawstring waists are comfortable as lounge wear, street wear and pajamas. The right scrub top in different designs expresses your favorite sports team, college or pattern. Everyday people wear scrubs everywhere. Just wash and dry scrubs and you are ready to go. Scrubs have even become a fashion statement among college students across the nation. From business people to grandparents, scrubs are a favorite with everyone. In sizes ranging from petite to plus, scrubs fit people of all shapes and sizes.
