Washing your only set every night after a long shift? There is an easier way.
Most people need three scrub sets. One to wear, one in the wash and one clean and ready. Students on clinicals can start with two. Sets at Scrubs Kenya start from KES 3,000.
The three set rule
ā¢ Set one: on you today ā¢ Set two: in the wash ā¢ Set three: clean, in your bag or locker for spills and emergencies
When you need more
ā¢ You work long shifts five or more days a week ā¢ You work in theatre or casualty where scrubs get soiled fast ā¢ You do not have time to wash every day
Students
Two sets usually work for clinical rotations. Add a white coat at KES 1,900 if your college needs one.
Mix colours or keep one?
If your hospital sets the colour, buy all three in that colour. If not, many people keep one dark set for busy days and a brighter set for clinics.
What it costs
Three Nurse Sets at KES 3,000 each comes to KES 9,000. Three Medina Sets at KES 3,200 each comes to KES 9,600.
