They don’t just relieve the pressure on your feet but also help circulate the blood flow to prevent tired, achy legs. Our light compression socks are perfect for first-time nurses as they provide enough pressure to relieve your feet, without feeling like they’re suffocating.  Large water bottle: Staying hydrated throughout the day is already important to maintain your health, but as a nurse its an essential part in the high-pressure, and sometimes overwhelming work environment.

Investing in the right footwear and socks means you can focus on what truly matters, caring for your patients, without the distraction of aching feet at the end of the day!

If you’re starting a new job, or heading into a new sector of nursing then it’s probably important that you know what colour scrubs you should be wearing and which Scrub Lab shade will be the best option for you. Now, the colour that each department wears can absolutely vary for each individual hospital and state so the best option is to check in with your hospital about the colour and if there are approved brands you need to purchase from.  It’s important that different levels/categories of nurses wear their unique colour to make sure that everyone, both staff and patient, are able to clearly and easily identify the staff and each staff members unique (and, of course important) role in patient care.  Registered Nurses: Typically registered nurses will wear navy scrubs to show that they are leaders in their field. In some hospitals it is also common for registered nurses to wear teal scrubs. At Scrub Lab we sell a full range of scrubs in both of these colours, which you can shop here! Enrolled Nurses/Nursing Assistants: In most healthcare workplaces in Australia an enrolled nurse or nursing assistant will typically be wearing scrubs that are either light blue (ceil), or sometimes teal. These light blue scrubs (or teal scrubs) represent the beginning of your amazing journey and career that is to come. Once again, both of these colours are a part of our core scrub collection! Midwives: Typically in a hospital you will find a midwife wearing purple scrubs. This could be a range of shades depending on the state/hospital but is often an eggplant colour. We have our aubergine scrubs as part of our limited edition colour range, and also have our lavender haze scrubs which are a much lighter colour.  Medical Emergency Team (MET): The MET are typically wearing red scrubs, which is the perfect colour to represent their job where they are typically responding to internal emergencies and these vibrant scrubs ensure they are easy to spot. At Scrub Lab the best option for you, as a member of the MET is our rouge red scrubs or our maroon scrubs depending on your particular hospitals requirements.

Is your team all wearing mismatched scrubs of different brands and qualities? Are you looking for a way to make your team look more put together and to make sure customers can tell they’re getting the best service possible just from one look at the team?  Making sure everyone who works within your clinic/office is looking their best is extremely important. Yes, this can be done by providing general rules on the colour/fit style of scrubs, but the best way is to organise the scrubs for your team. At Scrub Lab, we always prioritise quality, and fit when designing our scrubs. This means that you can even enjoy a more fun and bright colour palette of scrubs, if that’s your style, without worrying about the colours becoming faded or looking old and tacky over time as with other scrub brands.  Our colour range is also a huge selling point in what puts us above other scrub brands. If you’re looking for a more professional/traditional everyday colour we have our core range which we regularly restock and this includes all of your more basic everyday scrub colours, Black, Teal, Navy, Royal Blue, Ceil Blue, and Steel Grey. All of these can be great options if your practice is more sleek and professional in your colours. Alternatively, if you’re after some more colourful scrubs to brighten up your workplace, our limited edition colour ranges will be perfect for you. This includes a range of ever-changing colours such as Pinks, Purples, Reds, Greens, and so much more.  When choosing to provide scrubs for your team, or have a selected provider your team must purchase from, it’s always great to have different styles available, of course, if you want an overall more uniform look it’s great to have everyone in the same style, and with so many style options to choose from, we have a style that everyone will love. Alternatively, if you’re thinking of going down the route of having a specific brand & colour, where everyone can then pick the style that they’ll feel most comfortable in, then our range of styles will come in handy to make sure that everyone can find a top and bottoms that they love the fit of.  Our scrubs are made to last, with colours that don’t fade and fabric that doesn’t lose its stretch, softness, and overall high quality. This is important for all healthcare workers, especially when you're trying to find a solution that helps keep your team looking professional. With other brands, it can be difficult to keep everyone looking uniform when the scrubs are fading and stretching out with every wash, meaning newer staff look completely different than older staff.  If you want your patients to walk in and feel like they’re getting top-quality service, this starts with the appearance of your staff. If someone were to walk in and see staff with faded uniforms and low-quality scrubs, they’re not going to view it as a high-quality service (and won’t expect to pay for a high-quality service). In any industry, a customer, client or patient’s experience starts the second they walk through the door and it is your job to make sure that your team look the part.

  Having a trusted company you can rely on to get all of your scrubs is key when creating a team that looks professional and will feel their best all day while at work.
