I have a question to everybody who has to wear nursing scrubs?

Question

Where on Earth can I buy white, nursing scrub pants that aren't see through?

For my CNA course, I'm required to wear white scrubs, but they ones I've tried on were all see through!

I tried a white scrub top on with a white shirt on underneath, and I was still able to clearly see my bra color and shape. Argh!

Any advice?

Answer 1

White is a hard color. I had to wear white scrubs in nursing school. The best advice is to get the heavier scrubs like Dickies or Landau. But regardless, wear underware & bra that are skin colored. Alot of people think wearing white under white is the solution, but that couldn't be further from the truth. White next to your skin under a white uniform, makes the outline of the bra & underware more noticable.

Answer 2

I am a nurse and the best scrubs that I have ever found are Dickies brand. They are thicker and you usually can't see your under clothes through them, unless you wear bright colors. Stick to more expensive scrubs for whites and wear white under clothes. I would call local uniform shops to see if they carry Dickies brand, I love them.....You can also get them online, just google Dickies brand. I am not a scrub salesperson, but a nurse who loves that brand. They always wash well and have very little shrinkage.....Good luck with your career...

Answer 3

The medical industry is one of very few industries actually growing during the recession - there are jobs there now, so many people are studying for them. Also, most universities also have large hospitals where a lot of people need to wear scrubs for work!

Answer 4

Check out the JC Penny catalog for uniforms. Also, ask the instructer where to buy them. The best brand for uniforms I ever found was Landau. Go on line and look up that name. Good luck.

Answer 5

when I started many yrs ago as a cna I bought my scrubs at walmart, with white pants you want to wear white underwear, as well as with your top, no bright color underwear.
