Nurses work 8 to 12 hour shifts and for any nurse the shift essentials are probably: comfortable, high quality scrubs, good tennis shoes (read: sneakers), compression socks, a water bottle, and a great pen. I’ve purchased and been gifted dozens of scrubs, some that I only wear every now and then and some that I wear every single week- my “staples.”

I only wear 3 brands of scrubs and they are:

• Cherokee
• Jaanuu
• Wear Figs

What I look for when choosing scrubs:

• very soft, lightweight fabric
• scrub bottoms that have a drawstring on the waistband
• bottoms with back pockets, which is where I keep my report sheets
• thigh pockets for my saline flushes
• scrub tops with at least one pocket
• hidden pockets and pockets with zippers are a plus

I’ve listed the style names and/or numbers of my favorites down below, just for y’all 🙂

Infinity Scrubs by Cherokee

The Most Reliable

Hands down my #1! Cherokee scrubs are the scrubs I’ve owned the longest (my very first pair as a nursing student) and the scrubs I wear the most often. They are the first scrub brand, that I could find, that really catered to my needs– a girl with long legs. I’m a 5’10.5 woman with an hourglass shape, Okurrr?! Lol jk!

My favorites:

• Tops: #2624A and #CK623A
• Bottoms: #1123A and the joggers #CK110A
• Jacket: #CK370A

Arya Collection by Jaanuu

The Most Versatile

[Use code TAE20 for 20% off your order.] I feel like Jaanuu’s style choices are just ENDLESS. Jaanuu gives me an athlesiure vibe and I love how they blend practicality with style.

My favorites:

• Tops: Dash half zip top and Shift v-neck top
• Bottoms: Charge cargo drawcord pant and #J95039 aka the Skinny Pant
• Jacket: #C94014

Wear Figs

The Most Chic

[$20 off your order if you use my affiliate link –> http://fbuy.me/nBXVo] Honestly, Figs make you feel like an instant bad-ass! I can’t even describe it; if you’ve ever seen someone wearing Figs scrubs in person, then you know exactly what I mean. Figs make you look like “Damn! Who is that and what does she do? Because I want to be that when I grow up!”

My favorites:

• Tops: Rafaella mandarin collar scrub top and Casma three-pocket scrub top
• Bottoms: Zamora jogger scrub pants
