The Ask Liza series on the blog is back for its second week and today I have a question from a reader regarding dress codes.
Q. I’m in charge of creating a dress code for the clinic that I work at. What recommendations do you have for where to look or how to get started??
A. Thanks for the question. I’ll try to give you a few suggestions that will make this an easy task and hopefully the result will be a professional new look for your workplace.
To get started, I think you should browse through our Lydia’s Direct Look Book. This mini catalog is made for groups and each page offers ideas on how to coordinate different medical uniforms, colors and prints. Plus, we included a variety of brands and options in the look book since we know that dress code regulations vary from place to place. So start here and see what you think. It’s a great place for inspiration- even if you don’t see an exact look that you want; I bet it will still spark some ideas.
Second, I would recommend browsing through our collection of Cherokee Authentic Workwear scrubs. When it comes to groups, these medical scrubs are our best sellers and with good reason. They come in 32 different colors and there is an enormous selection of basics (prints and solids) for men and women. If you decide to go with Cherokee Authentic Workwear for your clinic it could be as simple as choosing one style and one color for everyone or choosing one color and then allowing employees to pick the style of scrubs that works best for them; you can even find prints that coordinate perfectly with the solid color that you choose. Below is one example of coordinating Cherokee Authentic prints and solids. 
I hope that these suggestions get you started as you create a new dress code for your workplace. And if you need more help don’t hesitate to ask!
Do you have your own questions about uniforms?
Send them this way and I’ll post my answers next Monday, here on the blog.
When you buy medical scrubs at
Lydia’s, you’re not just shopping- you’re investing in your career. An investment in a professional, put-together appearance will give you confidence and help you leave a positive impression on your boss, co-workers and most importantly, the people who put their trust in you each day, your patients.
I know that it’s important for each of you to achieve a professional look without emptying your wallet, and at Lydia’s you can do just that. To show you just how affordable our scrubs are I’ve taken three uniforms (seven pieces) and broken down the cost of this investment in your career. If you wore each of these looks 52 times per year (that’s once a week), the investment for each outfit would be less than $1 per wear; that’s not bad! P.S. The investment for just one piece is as low as $0.23 per wear-less than a quarter!
These are just a few examples of affordable looks from
Lydia’s. We have many (hundreds!) more choices at prices that won’t empty your wallet. And if you have any questions as you’re deciding on a look, don’t hesitate to
ask. I would love to answer your questions and help you invest in your career!

We’re running the contest wherever you connect with Lydia’s, whether it’s our blog, MySpace or Facebook.

Whether you love these shows or hate them, I want to hear what you (actual medical professionals) think,
so leave your comment now. At the end of the month I’ll select one comment and
the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms. Good luck to everyone who enters!

Today marks the first day of a brand new series on the Lydia’s blog: Ask Liza. One day each week I’ll be answering all of your questions about medical uniforms and scrubs. Got a question about what’s in style? Here’s the place to ask it! Want to know which size will fit your specific body type best? I’ll give you my personal recommendations. Whatever your question might be, whether it’s about prices, sizing, styles, brands etc., I’ll do my very best to give you a helpful and informative answer.
Submit your questions here.
I’m going to kick off the series with a fun question that recently came up. So here we go:
Q: I love having the most fashionable scrubs at my work place and I can’t wait for a new Lydia’s catalog to come in the mail. What styles and trends will be coming out in your next catalog that I can look forward to? A: Just last week I was thumbing through the racks of our newest products and there were a couple of looks that jumped out at me. Browsing through these medical scrubs it was clear that prints are going to be huge next season, especially for the fashion forward. I noticed scrubs that featured more than one print, which is a definite style statement. I also saw a very fun top that features a bold, can’t be missed image; it’s completely one of a kind and I love that! Seeing these nursing scrubs showed me that uniform designers are really pushing the envelope to provide health care workers with new up and coming styles. In addition to the trend of prints there were some unique necklines that I think you’ll like. In my opinion different style necklines provide an easy way to mix up your normal look, while still keeping it basic.
And the third thing that caught my eye was a new collection of medical uniforms from a popular street-wear brand. I don’t want to ruin the surprise so you’ll have to wait and find out which brand I’m referring to.:) If you have your own question,
send me an email and I’ll feature your question in the next Ask Liza segment. I can’t wait to hear from you!
Happy Friday everyone! Have a fun and safe Halloween and stop by the blog tomorrow to see Lydia's employees all dressed up!

Everyday I get to interact with Lydia’s customers on
Facebook and it’s such a fun part of my job. I love answering your questions, spreading the latest Lydia’s news, creating contests and most of all hearing your comments and feedback on our service and products.
Last week I asked you to post your photos in the fan photos section of our page and I was so excited by the response. We received some great pics from our fans, who were all wearing their Lydia’s medical uniforms. I want to see even more photos of all our customers wearing their Lydia’s scrubs, so if you haven’t submitted one yet,
stop by our Facebook page and post yours. And, one more thing:
the next two customers to submit their fan photos will each receive $10 gift certificates to Lydia’s, better hurry!
So many of you have told me how much you love Cherokee medical scrubs. I can see why: they’re well-known with a trusted name; they make scrubs that fit great and wash up well;
plus they offer something for every medical professional, whether it’s basic solids, designer nursing scrubs or professional lab coats. What’s not to love??
Today I want to tell you about a few new collections that are now offered in
Lydia’s Cherokee Superstore and I hope that you come to love these medical uniforms as much as you love favorites like Cherokee Authentic and Cherokee Flexibles. The new collections are:
Cherokee Studio,
Bamboo Planet and
World Adventure scrubs. Each line is completely unique. The Studio Collection is filled with youthful styles and features lots of fun prints. Bamboo planet scrubs focus on sending an eco-friendly message. And World Adventure scrubs are all about using rich earth tones to create fashionable styles.
I hope that you’ll stop by our
Cherokee Superstore and let me know what you think about these new uniforms. And next time you buy medical scrubs make sure to keep them in mind!

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month-a month that is dedicated to promoting the fight against breast cancer and raising awareness around the globe. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been recognized since 1985 and has steadily grown since then. Each year I'm impressed with the efforts made by my fellow students, co-workers and
friends to support this cause and I know that as we move into October I'll see my co-workers here at Lydia's making their own contributions to promote awareness.
To help you show your support,
we’ve stocked our online store with breast cancer awareness nursing scrubs and medical supplies from Baby Phat, Cherokee and Dickies. If you place your order now you’ll have your new medical scrubs by the beginning of October and you can wear them throughout the month (and of course there’s nothing wrong with wearing them year round).
In addition to wearing pink, is there anything that you’re doing in October to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month? If so,
leave a comment and tell me about it. Or if you have pictures of you and your co-workers wearing your pink scrubs or working to raise awareness send them in, I would love to share them on the blog.
Grey’s Anatomy is back tomorrow with its season six premiere and as a faithful fan I know that I’ll be watching (after last season’s finale, how could I not?). Are there any other fans out there? What do you think will happen with George, Izzie and the rest of the crew in tomorrow night’s episode?
In addition to an all new season, there are also
brand new Grey’s Anatomy uniforms online at Lydia’s (that’s right, one more thing to get excited about). The medical uniforms are perfect if you love the show, but I would recommend them even if you don’t watch it; they’re so soft and have such a great fit that you can’t go wrong.
So what do you think? Will you be watching season six and checking out the new
Barco Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs? If you do either, share your thoughts
here!
Study Shows Nurses Have Positive Impact with End-of-Life Care
By Susan Kreimer, MS, contributor at NurseConnect
Many patients facing a terminal illness remain alert and willing to swap stories. All a nurse has to do is ask.“When we meet people for the first time, we get to know them on a level much deeper than what is in their medical chart or the data in the computer,” said Harri Brackett, RN, MS, CNS, ACHPN, a palliative care clinical nurse specialist at University of Colorado Hospital in Denver.
She discovers where they grew up, how they met their spouses, and what makes them tick. “Getting them to tell you about who they are, and about what legacy they are leaving behind, is extremely important and fulfilling – not only to the patient, but to us as clinicians,” she said.
