Which White Swan scrubs should I get for nursing school?

Question

I'm starting nursing school in the fall, and was told to buy White Swan scrubs in teal. There are no uniform stores in my area, and there are so many style choices on the White Swan website! Is anyone familiar with their scrubs? I want something that will be flattering but also that will be similiar to what everyone else is getting. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thanks!

Their website with all of the style choices is http://www.whiteswanscrubs.com/

Answer 1

Nursing schools generally do not want the students to have significantly distinctive scrubs or uniforms for clinicals, so simple unisex scrubs are usually the best idea.

They are listed first on the White Swan website.

For males I suggest the V-neck, but for females, I suggest the 3 pocket top.  These are similar, but the three pockets allow you to carry much more while working during clinicals.  Males, generally, do not like the way the three pocket tops look, and usually prefer to tuck the scrub tops into their pants, while the females usually let the top hang outside the pants so the pockets are useful.

White Swan has matching pants.  Pick the inseam length which is best for your leg length, and get the matching 65/35 poplin material.  While I prefer to wear the drawstring pants, and have found most males also prefer this style.  My wife, and most of the female nurses wear the elastic waist for comfort while working.

Good luck in school!

Incidentally, I look really bad in the teal, hope it looks great on you!
