What Ever Happened To Those Cute Nurse Uniforms?

I remember as a kid I really wanted to be a nurse because I thought the uniforms were awesome. Now nurses all seem to wear “scrubs.” These look like pajamas- very unattractive.

Why Are The Nursing Uniforms Called Scrubs?

To expand on the other answers, the name comes from the act of “scrubbing in” prior to surgery, which involves changing into a clean surgical outfit (aka scrubs), meticulously washing the hands and arms (“scrubbing”), and then walking into the OR to put on a sterile gown and gloves prior to the surgery.
Nurses had not worn scrubs traditionally until the last 20 or so years, since the classic nursing uniform was the all white uniform that is now only seen in Halloween costumes…

Where Is A Cheap Online Or Catalog Place To Buy White Scrubs / Nursing Uniforms?

I am taking a nursing aide class in the fall. I have to have solid white scrubs. I already have a solid white pair of new shoes(prof. cheerleading shoes, they can take a beating, and help to reduce chafing and sores). Where can I find a super cheap place that sells solid white scrubs?? Also any advice on how to get through this training and prep for the job at hand? I am a really fast learner. This is not a permanent profession for me, I just need a job that places are demanding and pay alright(at least better than the fast food places and you have to work just as hard). I am not a mean person. The way I look at things are like this: it’s my job so I have to do it!, Even though I’m doing this for the money that doesn’t mean I’m going to be MEAN to the patients. I want to respect them and know I am there to help( I know some are crazy but that’s ok). Cleaning up crap is not a job anyone truly likes all the time there, but it’s a job and somebody’s got to do it.
