The tightness of the breathable fabric helps with poor circulation and prevents fluid from building up in the feet and ankles, thus reducing painful swelling and tenderness. Nurses spend a lot of time on their feet-especially travelers who are always on the go! With long shifts, physically demanding work, and running around trying to get everything done-all this pressure and blood flow to the feet and ankles can cause:īut what do compression socks do? Compression socks-sometimes called compression stockings for nurses or support socks for nurses-work to alleviate these issues and help nurses do the amazing things they do every day. When you use a discount code on FIGS, they’re practically the same price as the cheaper, but less awesome, scrubs on the market.This content was updated for accuracy and relevance on January 6th, 2022Ĭompression socks are some of the most beneficial clothing items on the market, particularly when travel nursing or for nurses that spend hours on their feet caring for each patient! If you sign up for their email list and wait a little bit, you may get emailed some great coupon codes. They provide you with a return sticker and the bag they’re mailed in can be reused to return if needed. As I mentioned, I returned a few items because I purchased a size too big, and exchanging them was a breeze. They last, look sharp and professional and continually come out with new styles. I also recommend signing up for their email list, because they frequently send out emails with discount codes. If you decide you’d like to order some FIGS Scrubs, you won’t be disappointed. But don’t make the mistake I did and order a size too large! I assumed it’d be a bit small and I like my scrub jackets a little on the larger side, but man… it was definitely too big! My previous top compression socks were Cherokee True Support, and I wore them with each shift, but since switched them out for FIGS. They come in the pictured cranium pink, grey pills, or a slick black and grey.
I like it when scrubs have those, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me if it’s not there.įIGS compression socks offer 20-30 mmHg compression, are long enough and sturdy enough to stay put for 12-hours, and I’ve washed them quite a few times since I got them a few months ago and they’ve withstood the washings and have not faded. You know, it’s a small hook near the shoulder of the scrubs to clip your badge on to. They also don’t have that badge reel clip that a lot of newer scrubs are starting to have. I do typically wear a jacket or vest, so that isn’t much an issue for me personally, but I do know some people who are very specific about the number of pockets for their scrubs. Some tops are also a bit light on pockets… and I know nurses love pockets! The Catarina top (pictured above) fits great, but it doesn’t have those classic two pockets to store your stuff in… they have one breast-pocket instead. They are about $38 for a top and $48 for the bottom. So, these are definitely at a higher price point than other scrubs. I can’t just chat about all of the pros though. I keep my phone in the smaller inside pocket and my report sheet folded in half in the outside pocket. I’ve worn cargo scrub pants before where if I put my phone or something slightly heavy in the leg pocket, it really weighs the pants down or the item droops/practically falls out when bending. The Kade cargo pants are made really well structurally and the leg pocket is great. It’s stood the test of time and not loosened on me. They have a really solid yoga pant waistband, and it’s not one of those that loosens with time like most yoga pants. Our non-Facebook community is just what you need. They fit like the clothes I wear in my normal, non-hospital life. (And I can truly speak to that, after trying both the first ones and the updated!) I don’t feel like I’m wearing boxy, rough, wrinkly scrubs. Someone spent a lot of time perfecting the design of these scrubs. (You’re welcome, coworkers.)įor every set purchased, they donate a set to a health care professional in need. ((Dry heaves.)) The enteral feeding rolled right off of my scrub top instead of absorbing into it. They’re water-resistant. Once I was flushing my patient’s feeding tube and they suddenly sneezed, splashing me with water and pre-digested enteral tube feeding. This means when I’m bending over to pick something up off of the floor, bending over to do CPR, or sneaking in between an IV pump, the bed, feeding pump, the wall, and the chair just to plug something in. Let me just go ahead, in true nurse form, and just give you a detailed report on them: (In my opinion, of course…) Specific FIGS details – the pros Catarina one-pocket scrub top in purple These scrubs gracefully straddle the line between soft and durable.
