Uniforms in the Medical Field

Dear fellow bloggers,

You know I have long been gushing about the online store, Blue Sky scrubs. I think it is a wonderful online seller of scrub uniforms that provide great fit to your body and therefore added comfort to the wearer. If you are a nurse, like me, you definitely would understand that most scrubs being sold today are too big for you and some people who wear scrub clothing look like they're wearing pajamas. But scrubs are work clothes and you must therefore feel mobile and comfortable in it, no pulling and adjusting necessary. Blue Sky Scrubs promises just that. An added bonus is that they have classic uniform designs to choose from, as well. They also feature other accessories like hats, jckets and lab coats.


If you are a scrub uniform wearer, I know that you will find it a great benefit to visit their helpful site. I find this link very helpful for women: http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/

There you have it.

Thank you very much for reading!

Just two years ago, I was a graduate nurse...

Hi friends,

Congratulations to all the graduates this March! I remember just 2 years ago, I was beaming graduate in after 4 years of studying Nursing, full of hope and aspirations. I never got to work lengthily as a nurse but I did have experience inside a hospital. However here in my current job, I work in an office coordinating a certain research project. 

Today, as part of my job, I visited a doctor's office inside a city hospital. It was a very old medical center but it was standing there proud. Even with it's archaic design, it boasted of very modern amenities and treatments. Sitting in the halls, waiting, I saw some nurses in their scrub uniforms walking along the hallways, probably out on their breaks, going to another department on an errand but hopefully not loitering. Somehow, it makes me reminisce the days that I have laboured inside a hospital among patients in a ward or other therapeutic areas. I also remembered the times we stood waiting for patients to treat  in the occasionally lazy emergency room. But my favorite area was, of course, the operating/ surgical theater. Being inside an operation makes me feel important, useful, dynamic and wise. We were an important part of the surgical process. We made sure that the tools were complete and prepped the area to make it as aseptic as was ideal. Ahh, how I loved being in that area! We even get to wear lab coats same as the surgeons. We sometimes hear people refer to us as doctors because of the crisp, white lab coats we proudly wore with matching white OR slippers and sometimes caps. 

As I was reminiscing in my formal office attire waiting outside that doctors office, I missed my old job. I missed my old, comfortable nursing uniforms. I never thought I would miss the way it felt to be a nurse after I have decided my office job is way better. But as they say, nursing is one of those noble jobs that asks you to give a little of yourself just to get through to your patients.This is a fulfilling profession that I would always have great memories about. Who knows? Maybe in the future, I could go back to being a nurse.But as for now, I am content just reminising.

Scrubs fashion

Hi there,
Back when I was on duty as a nurse in the hospital, we always wear our generic light blue scrub suits to work especially on the O.R. or operating room. Of course we love wearing them since they are so comfortable... but then they fit so badly . We look so frumpy with no regard to fashion, whatsoever. Mind you, we have the same color of scrub suits as the ones they were wearing in the TV show, Grey's Anatomy and we just can't make our uniforms fit right or look as good as what the doctors wear in that show.

Recently, I'm being intrigued by the rave reviews on Blue Sky scrubs, maker of customized scrubs and medical uniforms in the U.K. When I searched their testimonials page for women's scrubs, almost everyone gave a high mark on wearability of the scrub and the fact that they fit so well. I love the part when a customer said most scrubs indicate that they 're size 'XS' but they still fit like a trash bag. But when she wore Blue sky scrubs, she loved the fit and felt that she actually looked good in it and not frumpy any longer. That's because the top, they said, was tapered so it probably gives you a waist. The good quality fabric used in these scrub uniforms were also loved by the customers.

I think that as a nurse, if you want to do your job well, the nursing uniform that you wear is also important. If you look and feel good in what you wear it could help  maximize your performance. I had a classmate once who kept raising and adjusting her sleeve while working. That is not good when you are in an aseptic environment or when you are scrubbing on an operation and you really feel the urgency to adjust your sleeve just because it's too big. Another of my duty buddies had a cap which kept falling over her eyes. You won't be as helpful when your vision is impaired just because of an ill-fitting scrub hat! So I think I would love to try Blue Sky scrubs and hats. They have a good product line. After all, I heard that their shipping is fast and customer service is good.


Have a nice day!
