I’ll choose one comment and announce the winner in August. Leave your comment now!
The important details (there aren’t too many): -Comments must be under 200 words. -The contest will begin on the first of each month and end at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month -One winner will be chosen from all of the comments we receive.
My congrats go out to Stacey, a Neuroscience Nurse, who is the latest winner of our Editor @ Large contest. She’ll be receiving a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms that she can use to buy stylish new medical scrubs. Here is Stacey’s winning comment:
Nursing was simply a calling for me. At the age of twenty-four, I suffered a herniated disk while at work. I endured nine months of debilitating pain. At the time, I was a young wife and mother to a 2 1/2 year old beautiful daughter. This was to be the happiest time of my life. But the pain I experienced was so severe that I considered ending my life. Then, finally with the benefit of an excellent neurosurgeon my pain was relieved. The nurses that cared for me post-operatively renewed my faith that I could go on and accomplish anything that I set my mind to, which at the time included walking. Finally free from my pain, I decided to become a nurse. I understood the pain that my patients would experience. I am now a Neuroscience Nurse. I see patients with injuries so much worse than what I suffered. I am able to inspire them and give them hope for a life that is worth fighting for, by my example. Being a part of someone’s recovery is a gift that truly never stops.
If you didn’t win this month, stay tuned; next month’s Editor @ Large contest will begin later today.
Heads up! Dickies scrubs just went on sale at LydiasUniforms.com and we’re currently offering $4 shipping on all orders. These are two awesome deals and they’re even better combined, so it’s an ideal time to stock up on medical scrubs. I was browsing the marked down Dickies scrubs and there are some great prices. I would definitely recommend checking out this contrast wrap scrub top ($9.59) and the wide leg scrub pants ($11.19). The prices can’t be beat and these are two top sellers.

Thanks for submitting your product reviews as part of our Print Top Giveaway. I received lots of great entries, but of course I could only choose one as our winner. The comment I chose was from Rebecca who reviewed a favorite medical uniform top by Cherokee. Here’s Rebecca’s review: My favorite print scrub top is "Bright Flight" by Cherokee Studio B. This top is made of a nice lightweight fabric and fits form fitting with the perfect amount of move room. I work in a nursing home where the temp is always ambient for the residents which means hot for us and this great top keeps me cool, not to mention stylish and feminine.
Like this top? You can get it right now during our Cherokee Super Sale for 20% off the reuglar price!
As our winner, Rebecca will receive a brand new scrub top (her choice) and she’ll have a stylish new addition to her medical uniforms. Congrats Rebecca!

Today I want to send my congrats to Beverly, a registered nurse with certification in psychiatric/mental health nursing. Beverly is the latest winner of our monthly contest and she won by making us laugh with this comment:
An elderly patient was admitted to a geropsychiatric unit. During her assessment, the nurse noted that she was allergic to nuts and indicated this on her allergy band. During visiting hours, her son approached the nurse angrily, "What do you mean labeling my mother 'Nuts'"?
For winning, Beverly has received a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms. She expressed that her dress code requires white and ceil blue nursing scrubs and I’m positive that she’ll be able to find exactly what she needs at Lydia’s.
Congrats again Beverly. And to all our readers, don’t forget to enter this month’s contest for your chance to win free designer medical scrubs.

Our warehouse sale is on and all the medical scrubs in our Bargain Outlet are marked down an extra 20%. We have over 100 items on sale, so to make your life a little easier I searched through all of them and found the very best deals. Below are my three must-have pieces, two basic tops and one summery print. The good news is, they’re all under $10.
To share my excitement about the new summer catalog, I’ve made a short video that spotlights some of the top scrub styles for summer. Take a look and let me know what your favorites are. Do the fashion-forward, designer nursing scrubs make your list or do you prefer basic, affordable women’s uniforms?
Michelle, a Scheduling Coordinator for an Orthopedic Office, was last month’s winner of our Editor @ Large Contest. She’ll be receiving a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s. Congratulations!
Michelle shared that she wears medical scrubs four days a week and that her favorite brand is Nu-Dimension because they are so comfortable and allow easy movement. Here’s her winning comment:
“I started four years ago working the front office in a small orthopedic office. About two years ago, our office merged with another small orthopedic office and purchased a physical therapy office with three locations. Now we have 8 orthopedic doctors, three pa's, two medical locations and three physical therapy locations. It wasn't easy bringing together three totally different offices that were run three different ways, but we did it. There were some rough spots, still are at times, but for the most part we have come together pretty well. I've made new friends, learned new things, and expanded my work experience. It was scary not knowing how things would change, but it all changed for the better and has enabled us to offer our patients better care, which is what it's all about.”- Michelle

Happy Friday everyone. It's been a busy week here at Lydia's Uniforms. Between our Nurses Week Celebration and a new catalog release, we've had lots to do! In my opinion, the Nurses Week Celebration went really well; I had a great time giving away gift certificates everyday and it was fun to read all your comments. I'm also a huge fan of the new summer catalog. It's filled with stylish, functional and affordable scrubs and like I said in yesterday's post, there is something for everyone. If you haven't already seen the latest summer styles, make sure to check them out. We have over 125 new pieces, from nursing scrubs to lab coats and more. You can view them all here.
I have good news! Our summer catalog has arrived. Check your mailbox or head to our website and browse the latest medical uniforms. We have new scrubs from all your favorite brands, including a few collections that I’m really excited about! The looks this summer are perfect warm weather styles and there’s a little something for everyone. The Landau Bioshield Collection is perfect for the practical medical professional, Studio B by Cherokee is exactly what the trendy worker is looking for and new tops from Dickies are all about summery prints. Plus there are tons of basics and plenty of affordable options.
So what looks are getting all the buzz here in the office at Lydia’s? Well I asked the stylish ladies in the web department and here are our summer scrub picks:
Rachel said, “I’m so happy to see our model Erica wearing the royal/meadow soil release twill by Lydia’s (pictured top row, left). That color combo is super cute, and I’m glad an old favorite came back for summer fun.”
Amanda's pick is the Cherokee Body Scrubs collection because, "Stretch scrubs are always comfortable, and I really like the style of the print mock tops, with the tie in front, it’s definitely a different, but good look" (pictured top row, middle).
Lindsey picked the Mia Top (pictured bottom row, left) and she likes all five prints that it comes in, especially how they’re nature themed.
Leesa said, “It’s fun to see trends translated into fresh uniform styles,” referring to the crochet accents on the Maile Top (pictured bottom row, middle).
And I personally think the Contrast Medallion Top (pictured bottom row, right) is a winner. It combines professionalism and style, plus it comes in over 10 colors and a few really cute prints.
It's the final day of our daily gift certificate giveaway and today's winner is Jessica W. Congrats Jessica; you'll be receiving a $25 gift certificate for new medical scrubs. Happy shopping!
I hope that all of our winners enjoy their gift certificates and that everyone had a wonderful Nurses Week. Don't forget that you have the remainder of the day to take advantage of $3 shipping and our Nurses Week coupon.
