So you can show your own personal style with your scrubs, we are always on the look for new and upcoming trends. We want to make sure we carry what’s “hot”! Styles change often so trying to keep up with the trends is enough to make your head spin! I started thinking about different medical uniforms that have been in style for a long time and I came up with a list of a styles and prints that have become a trendy uniform staple for the fashionista at heart! Over the next few weeks I will focus on some of them, and today I want to place the spot light on one fan favorite (as well as mine), and that is animal print uniforms!
I have seen a lot of zebra & cheetah prints while shopping around town and nursing uniform manufactures seemed to have noticed this trend as well! We have been getting in super cute animal prints including Baby Phat’s 100% Cotton Animal Instinct Mock Wrap Scrub Top, Sanita’s Professional Safari Patent Clog, and Baby Phat’s Wild Kingdom Scrub Top which has just a hint of zebra print for the not-so- bold crowd.

Like many other people, I am addicted to watching television! I have always had a huge interest in shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Practice, House, and Scrubs. They are so intense and I feel like I might learn something while I watch them. Sometimes after watching House I think back to a time when I may have had a symptom his patient did and I being to wonder…. I don’t think I am the only one who has done this, at least I hope not :) and it is probably pretty frustrating for Medical staff to hear self diagnosing due an episode on television.
I’ve been a fan of these medical dramas for quite a long time and sometimes wonder what, if anything is close to reality. Of course when they open up someone’s chest there is often hardly any blood, they use the most random objects to replace needed equipment and seem to have all of these off the wall things happen on a daily basis, of course all of this makes for great T.V.! Just a couple weeks ago Grey’s Anatomy had two people that were mauled by a pet lion, there was hardly any blood and the wounds were practically healed before they had even had a chance to work on them.
Don’t get me wrong I still love watching these shows but I wonder how many of you like them as well. How much of what happens in these shows is close to reality? I would love to hear from medical professionals about this!

As you may know, February is American Heart Month. Why is this important? Because heart disease kills more men and women than any other cause, including cancer. Even breast cancer.
The thing is, we often overlook risk factors for heart disease and we do things that are not really nice to our hearts. As busy professionals, nurses often do things like eat foods that are not healthy but convenient. We don't always have the time to exercise, and sometimes we feel to exhausted to even think about it. Even though we know better, some of us smoke, or drink more alcohol than we should. And probably almost all of us are living with high stress levels that we are ignoring. I know I am no picture of health. Up until the last few months I ate fast food...a lot. About the only workout I get is when I go up and down the stairs in my house. And Lord knows I have a lot of stress eating away at me. And the thing that makes it even worse is that I have a family history of heart disease.
So what do we do to protect ourselves from this nasty killer of women and men? Eat right by getting at least 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Limit your red meat and unhealthy fats, choosing healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week. Quit smoking if you currently are doing so. Limit your alcohol intake to 1 drink per day or less...although red wine does seem to have some protective heart benefits. And this will be the hard one. Learn to de-stress. My doctor is on me all the time about that one. He's even recommended I try something called HeartMath-although I am sure there are similar programs that work just as well. Even a few minutes a day of meditation or guided imagery may help.
Secondly, arm yourself with knowledge of the symptoms of a heart attack, and know when to seek medical attention for any health concerns. Heart attack symptoms are different in women than men, you can check out this website at the American Heart Association to learn more about them.
So this February, don't forget to wear your red scrubs in honor of Heart Awareness month. Although the National Go Red For Women day has passed, that still doesn't mean we can't raise knowledge of the problem. And love your heart-it's the only one you've got!

Here's a review from our customer Julie from Louisiana:
Favorite Scrubs!
I have been wearing scrubs for work/school for over 15 years. I have been through many styles/brands, but have never been so pleased. The fabric is soft and comfortable and does not wrinkle. They do run a little small, so you may have to go up a size. I have a 36DD bust with a size 28 waist and took a large top and medium pants. Worth every penny, and if you get them on sale...even better!

One look at our
Cherokee Authentic Workwear Scoop Neck Scrub Top and you can see why we are excited to share this review from our customer
Rose in Orange, CA:
Expect compliments
Love this scrub! Cherokee is coming up with very stylish, professional-looking tops and at great prices. Even Koi doesn't compare to the variety Cherokee is putting out. Our hospital has limited RNs to wearing solid royal blue. So it's all about stylish cuts and this top is one of them. Love the detail in the shoulders. A very clean-looking line with lots of style. Absolutely love it!
The Cherokee Authentic Workwear Scoop Neck Scrub Top has the quality and great fit of the Cherokee Authentic Workwear line, with feminine details that make this top look and fit great! This top features a stylized "U" shape neckline top with elasticized smocking at the shoulder seams, 2 front patch pockets, slight shirring at the center front, and back princess seams. Center back length is 26" and it is made of 65% polyester/35% cotton.
