Scrubs make a statement. Frankly, people do "judge the book by the cover," especially when you are caring for their most precious loved ones. I am a firm believer in looking "sharp," and professional at the bedside. I do my make-up before (most) of my shifts, I pull my hair back (or put it together), I have 2 pens in my pocket at all times & a tube of lip gloss STAT every shift. One might call me, "Type A." And I have always admired Nurses who were the same, if not better than myself. The nurses who are always put together, in tailored scrubs, spiffy shoes, and feminine with a touch of "power house." The nurses I looked up to always wore "Barco Uniform Scrubs," specifically "Grey's Anatomy Scrubs."
