When you use a discount code on FIGS, they’re practically the same price as the cheaper, but less awesome, scrubs on the market.Compression socks are specially designed garments that help to improve blood circulation by applying gentle pressure on the ankles and legs during the day. ![]() 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.

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. They fit like the clothes I wear in my normal, non-hospital life.Īre you ready to feel confident as a nurse?įreshRN VIP is packed full of tools and peers to help you ditch that imposter syndrome.

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. ![]()
