  Oh I think I love you! Just looked at all your scrubs designs (I am in the medical profession also) and I think it is sooo fabulous that you make work…..fabulous! Absolutely inspiring!! (Oh and by the way, I am recently enamoured of bunting – isn’t that a great word – and totally LOVE the ‘comfy pants’ project with the notes to husband. Awesome) x

  Great work on your “work clothes”. My DIL is an RN (bragging here) who used to work the cardiac post-op floors and trauma surgery suites. I asked her if she would like some nice prints. Her reply put the bland scrubs in a different light. “No, it would most likely be spattered with body fluids on the floor. In surgery, they need to be able to look and see if you have any blood on you.” Apparently, the green came about because of the “shock factor” if patient or family saw fresh blood on white." Nehmah

    Thank you. Yeah every dept. is different. Surgery usually comes in their own clothes and leaves in their own clothes. Sometimes that would be nice so I didn’t take body fluids and germs home.

  I wore my srubs to the mall the other day to go shopping (at an upity mall) before work and I got soo many compliments but it was funny because they thought it was my normal clothes. When I told them it was my scrubs for work and I made them they were blown away. It was a good feeling:) just thought I’d share.

  You know, I have always said that I really got tired of nurses with Winnie-the-Poohs & Co taking care of me – after all, I am not 6 any more. This would be soooo fun to see!!!! It’s refreshing and you did a splendid job! And I am sure all those pockets do come in handy!!! And, yes, just like mo-mo-sew-sew said – I am sure you could sell them very easily!

    You are welcome! And don’t get me wrong – Care Bears or Winnie or whoever is fine, as long as they are not on every single nurse! :-) Variety is the key and your scrubs are definitely unique (at least to my eye)!

  I’m with mo-mo-sew-sew…exciting scrubs cheer up a visit to a hospital. If I wore a uniform everyday, I think I hope I would be as creative as you with them. You look so nice!

  Ah how lovely! Well done.. you are so lucky in the states to be able to wear the scrubs you want, I’m always very jealous of those gorgeous designs when putting on my bland scrubs here in NZ!!

    Well Im taking advantage of my scrub creativity. I have worked some places where I only could wear blue or white and some where we had scrubs given to us to wear. So you are not alone. Thanks for the comment.
