Nurses Trading Drab for Fab

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

What comes to mind when you think of the word scrubs? A one-size-one-style-fits-all blue utilitarian outfit donned by the healthcare world. One company has decided to breathe some life and fashion into the work outfits of millions of healthcare professionals.

After researching for a year and hosting focus groups that asked real nurses across the country what they wanted in the world of fashion scrubs, Work ‘N Gear has released their line of trendy medical wear called Scrubology. According to Boston.com, “Scrubology attempts to fill a niche by offering its bright prints and tailored fits.” For some nurses and other medical personnel, this is just what the doctored ordered. Jill Caulfield, a nurse who has rejected the freebie scrubs from her hospital explains, “The hospital scrubs are always too big or too small. I like having one that fits my body, and you can pick the color you want that goes with your personality. It makes it more fun,’’ she said. “I want to feel comfortable with what I have on for 12 hours straight.’’ Work ‘N Gear is providing an innovative and creative alternative to the traditional medicalwear. It’s gratifying to see a company address the needs of an important population such as nurses and other medical providers. What a difference a break away from the ordinary, such as a change in clothing, can make on your entire attitude and operation at work.

Rue Education has brought that same innovative idea to nurse education. They have listened to what medical professionals need when making the critical and life-changing decision to pursue an advanced education. You no longer have to make your life schedule work around your school schedule. There are a variety of options that are refreshingly flexible for a busy adult learner that is trying to balance work and family with advancing their education. Rue education addresses this need with their learning systems designed specifically for medical professionals that need an educational path that works flexibly. Nearly 400,000 nurses have found out why, see for yourself!
