Erin from Real Moms Real Views - "I live in a constant whirl wind!  Between the part time job I work as a Medical Assistant for a foot doctor, my full time job as a maid, cook, and taxi driver, I am the mommy to 4 fab kiddos!  It is a very busy life, but I adore it and wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I have been married to my best friend and the man of my dreams for 11 years, yes, they are the same guy.  We spend every free minute enjoying our kids and doing fun family activities including camping, swimming, playing games and having movie night.  I love baking yummy treats but mostly eating the yummy treats!"

Erin recently reviewed our Contrast Mock Wrap Scrub Top and Flare Leg Scrub Pant from our Lydia's Select Scrubs collection!

Our Lydia's Select Contrast Mock Wrap Scrub Top features contrast along mock wrap and sleeves, two pockets, back darts, set-in sleeves, side slits, is made with 60% cotton/40% polyester and is 27 1/2" long.

The Lydia's Select Flare Leg Scrub Pant features a grosgrain drawstring at front waist, elastic in back, two side pockets, one back pocket, a flare leg with reinforced side slits, is made with 60% cotton/40% polyester and is 31" long for regular, 29" long for petite and 34" long for tall.

Erin explains her need for a medical uniform that shows her personal style: "As a working momma, I have to get to wear scrubs 4 days a week to work.  Everybody always tells me that I am lucky that I get to wear scrubs, but I sometimes think they are boring.  You can only accessorize so much when you are trimming someone’s toenails (gross, I know)  Instead of wearing the Blah scrubs that you see in some doctor’s offices, we can wear whatever we want.  That means we can go as fun as we want.  I love BRIGHT!!  My favorite part of scrubs is that you can wear things that you would NEVER wear and call it a uniform!"

Erin chose to review the Lydia's Select items in the colors Aqua/Steel Grey, and this what she had to say: "If I can toot my own horn, I made an incredible pick!  I love this set!  The top is such a fun, bright color of aqua, perfectly accented with grey trim.  I order the tall in the pants…I have a length issue.  If my pants don’t drag on the ground, then they never get worn.  The flare leg is super flattering and I love the side slits, they sit perfectly over you shoes.  The waist is draw sting, so you get the perfect fit.  If you have never ordered scrubs before, be aware that they tend to run big.  In a shirt, I usually wear a medium, but I wear a small in scrub sizes.  In fact, I could have ordered an extra small in this top and been okay.  I wear a size 4 in pants and ordered a small.  They are a smidge baggy, but that is better than skin tight.  So, I guess what I am saying is check the measurements before ordering  I was very impressed with my first pair of scrubs from Lydia’s.  I have already talked them up to the girls that I work with and the first day I wore them to work, I got all kinds of compliments on them.  Real Mom Approved!!"

Like many other students I am trying to enjoy my last few days of summer before starting a new school year. It is back to reality when you start the task of purchasing school supplies. Everything from calculators, text books, backpacks, notebooks, etc, it all adds up fast!

This can be expensive and time consuming to shop around for the best price. That is why Lydia’s has made it extremely easy for students to find the color/size scrubs and medical supplies they are looking for, while still staying within their budget.

Here is a review from our customer SCraig in Walnut Creek, CA:

Awesome Value & Fit!

I absolutely LOVE this top! I can't say it enough--the cut is very flattering. I am a size 16/18, so sometimes these styles can look like maternity tops on, but this one does NOT--it is very flattering, and I am very comfortable in it. I bought the XL, and it is perfect size-wise. Shrunk very little. I love the pockets and the empire waist. I will be buying several more in different colors. Couldn't ask for a better price, either! Way to go, Dickies!

Did you know that Lydia’s not only has medical uniforms and dental scrubs, but we Veterinary scrubs as well? We actually have over 50 Veterinary prints available in many different colors, styles, and sizes, definitely enough to please every animal lover out there! A few of my favorites are:

• Our fun Disney inspired Cherokee Puppy Prints Contrast V-neck Scrub Top has Dalmatian puppies from 101 Dalmatians running up the bottom and side of the top which is a great way to show off your inner child.
• The new Cherokee Precious Panda Contrast Mock Wrap Scrub Top has panda bears with an olive colored trim an a small little bow to add that extra feminine flair!
• Last but not definitely not least is our Bonita 100% Cotton Froggie Love Mock Wrap Scrub Top. This bright colored pink and green top makes for a fun cheerful outfit that would also work perfectly for Valentines Day.

These are just a few of mine, how about yours?

When most people think of scrubs they think of a medical office or hospital setting, but what about dental offices? Lydia’s actually has a section specifically for dental prints, with quite a few fun colors and styles! We have long sleeve jackets like our Cherokee Sweet Tooth Crewneck Warm-Up Jacket which comes in a pastel purple with fun teeth characters on it. We also have short sleeve print tops such as our new Grafx By Barco 100% Cotton Sparkle Ruffle Neck Scrub Top. This adorable top comes in both a v-neck and the ruffle neck top, a break from the ordinary! The bright colors and fun frogs are sure to make everyone smile.

Here is a review from our customer Rachelle in Trafalgar, IN:

Beautiful

This fits wonderful, is long enough so I don't have to worry about my back showing when bending over. I received several compliments on this shirt and it is so comfortable. It is probably my favorite scrub top and I've been a nurse for over 5 years.

Awhile back I posted about apps that were popular in the nursing and medical world (There's an app for that, and it's really helpful!) and I am curious if they are still at the top!

A more recent post by Tech Holik: 10 iPhone Apps Every Nurse Must Have mentions these top runners:

1. Nursing Central - a subscription-based app that features numerous helpful tools for nurses.
2. Drug Infusion - features a lightweight drug-infusion guide that stores the records of large number of standardized drug concentrations.
3. Skyscape RxDrugs - an app that features usage guidelines for thousands of medicines, both branded and generic.
4. Epocrates Essentials - for users who want basic medical concepts along with basic content can choose to download the free version.
5. Medscape - has a drug reference section which is absolutely matchless and amazing, for it has reference to nearly 6,000 generic, OTC, and branded medicines.
6. MedCalc - helps the healthcare professionals in different types of calculations which they have to do in their daily routines, like calculating amount of medicine to be administered, appropriate dosage for patients, and many more.
7. Informed RN Pocket Guide - this pocket guide is a very handy tool as it also has a built-in calculator along with notes so nurses can calculate different medicine dosages to administer and jot down quick notes. The saved notes can be used for future references, too!
8. Psych Drugs - gives an easy and quick reference for all the psychotropic drugs that any nurse will run across through his/her daily routine.
9. A.D.A.M. Symptom Navigator - is one the best free apps available to quickly and accurately diagnose conditions and afflictions.
10. Pedi STAT - an app that gives accurate and appropriate information for children of any weight or age for quick and easy reference on everything from normal vital signs to allergic reactions to any other illnesses.

I came across this article by Scrubs Magazine that listed the 50 mobile apps nurses are downloading like crazy that lists the more "for fun" apps nurses use as well.

What are the apps you find yourself using most often, or better yet, what are the apps you find yourself wondering what you would do without? Please share with us your favorite medical professional and/or "just for fun" apps!

A few staple uniform colors are your go-to Browns, Blacks, Whites and Navys. You can't go wrong when wearing these simple but stunning colors. Especially when pairing them with your favorite print top!

Black has been, and will always be, a favorite color in practically everyone’s wardrobe... We all end up using it at some point in time! Black scrub pants make for a great foundation to many medical professional’s uniforms. I love the pairing of our White Cross 3-2-1 Wild And Free Crossover Scrub Top and our White Cross 3-2-1 Flare Leg Scrub Pant In Black.

Brown is another must-have color! So many different colors and prints go well with Brown, even Black which I think it is forgotten by many. While I was flipping through our new Fall 2012 catalog I noticed a really fun Print top, the White Cross 100% Cotton Wild Stripe Scoop Neck Scrub Top  which can easily be paired with our White Cross Six Pocket Flare Leg Scrub Pants in Espresso.

White is one color that some shy away from. Possibly because of the age old rule “You Can't Wear White After Labor Day”. But White is a really fun color to brighten up with just about everything and it just always looks crisp and fresh! Another great thing about White is that pretty much every brand has the same shade so you can mix and match without the hassle of trying to make sure you select a top and pant from the same brand. The White outfit I paired has a range of brands including our Grey's Anatomy by Barco Heart Line Lab Coat over top of our Med Couture by Peaches Hidden Accents Contrast Mock Wrap Scrub Top. I would pair this outfit up with a all-time customer favorite the Koi Lindsey Scrub Pant in White.

Last but not least is the color Navy, a great color to wear at anytime and for anything! You can easily pair it with a variety of colors or wear it as a full set. I personally like the all Navy look with a hint of lime green! Our new IguanaMed Dual Swirl Scrub Top and IguanaMed Legend Cargo Scrub Pant both have the small Lime Green logo along with a fun green drawstring on the pants.

These are just a few of my go-to solid colors, I would love to hear what yours are!

Here is a review from our customer Laurel in Detroit, MI:

LOVE the easy fit and the pocket organizers!

I love love love this top! I have a greys top that is softer and cute, but as a hippy girl, the bottom feels sometimes a little constricting. In contrast, this top has a boxy fit, which is still cute and during a 12 hour day, I never have to pull it down over my hips, it just moves with me. Also, the little pockets within the pockets are SO useful!! I love the added details on the shoulder and across the neck in the back as well. Must buy!

The Peaches Med Couture E-z Flex Sport Neckline Scrub Top is available in 16 fun colors, the perfect addition to your SUMMER SCRUB COLLECTION!

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.
