Nursing Scrubs

FAQ

• Which scrubs are best for nurses and everyday clinical use?

  For Nursing Scrubs that balance comfort, durability, and value:
  • Everyday value & durability: Cherokee Originals, Dickies EDS
  • Cotton-rich comfort: Cherokee Professionals
  • Soft, polished drape: Cherokee Revolution, Healing Hands Purple Label
  • Athletic stretch & performance: Cherokee Infinity, Infinity GNR8
  These cover most hospital, aged-care, and primary-care Nursing Uniforms needs.

  
• Do you stock women’s, men’s, unisex, Petite and Tall scrubs?

  Yes - women’s, men’s, and unisex fits are available. Petite and Tall inseams are offered in select popular models only. Check each product page for lengths and inseams.

  
• How do I choose my size for Nursing Scrubs?

  Measure bust/chest, waist, and hip, then compare with the size chart. If between sizes, choose a relaxed clinical fit; for joggers, confirm inseam (Petite/Tall where offered).

  
• How do I keep my Nursing Uniform colour-matched across tops and pants?

  For the most consistent shade, pair top + pant within the same brand and series (e.g., Cherokee Revolution top with Revolution pant). Dye lots and fabric textures can vary across collections.

  
• Do you offer free embroidery on scrubs and Nursing Uniforms?

  Yes - Medshop provides free in-house embroidery (one standard placement per garment, typically left-chest name/credentials and/or one approved clinic logo). Additional placements or complex setups may incur a fee.

  
• What are the restrictions on free embroidery?

  • Placement: Standard left-chest; sleeves/additional locations by quote

  • Content: Names/credentials or approved logos (no offensive content)

  • Artwork: High-quality/vector logos recommended; we provide a proof for approval

  • Returns: Embroidered garments are customised and generally non-returnable (faulty goods excepted)

  
• Do you have an Australian scrubs catalogue and local colours?

  Yes - Medshop publishes an Australian Catalogue featuring a diverse range of colours and sizes aligned to local facility requirements and standards.

  
• Can you special-order other Careismatic Scrubs not shown online?

  Yes. The Careismatic catalogue is extensive; we can special-order non-stock styles/colours. Special orders are firm and non-returnable, so please confirm sizes/colours before ordering.

  
• Which scrubs breathe best in hot or high-activity environments?

  Choose performance stretch lines with moisture-wicking: Cherokee Infinity, Infinity GNR8, and selected Dickies EDS or Healing Hands Purple Label styles.

  
• Do any scrubs include antimicrobial or odour-control technology?

  Several Careismatic collections incorporate fabric freshness technologies (commonly in Infinity, Infinity GNR8, and some Originals Ultra styles). These help reduce odour on the fabric; they do not replace PPE or infection-control protocols.

  
• What materials are scrubs made from, and how do they differ?

  Typical blends:

  • Poly/cotton poplin - classic durability, easy laundering (e.g., Cherokee Originals)

  • Polyester twill/mechanical stretch - quick-dry, low-maintenance (e.g., Originals Ultra)

  • Cotton-rich with spandex - familiar handfeel, light stretch (e.g., Professionals)

  • Poly/rayon/spandex twill - soft drape, polished look (e.g., Revolution, Purple Label)

  • Performance poly/spandex - moisture-wicking, athletic stretch (e.g., Infinity, GNR8, EDS)

  Fabric content can vary by style - always check the product page.

  
• Why choose Careismatic Scrubs for our Nursing Uniforms?

  Careismatic (Cherokee, Healing Hands, Dickies) leads in fit systems, size ranges, colour continuity, and fabric programs. For daily Nursing Scrubs, you get reliable sizing across reorders, strong colour retention, and performance features that stand up to long shifts.

  
• Do Careismatic Scrubs hold colour and shape better than others?

  Typically yes. Core programs use durable yarns and blends designed for colourfastness, shrink resistance, and recovery. Follow care labels (cold wash, low heat or line-dry) to maximise colour retention and garment shape.

  
• How does Careismatic’s global scale improve quality and performance?

  Their global scale enables investment in material science, standardised yarn/fabric specs, mill testing, and supplier oversight - from yarn to dyeing/finishing - so your Nursing Uniforms are consistent from batch to batch.

  
• What does Careismatic do around social responsibility?

  Careismatic supports the healthcare community (e.g., nurse recognition, education, and mission-driven partnerships). Buying these Scrubs aligns your uniform spend with programs that give back to frontline care.

  
• What about environmental responsibility?

  Focus areas include durability (garments that last longer), selective use of performance technologies, and participation in donation/reuse initiatives that keep uniforms in service and reduce waste.

  
• What corporate responsibility and supply-chain standards does Careismatic follow?

  Careismatic publishes supplier standards, requires signed codes of conduct, and undertakes supplier auditing on lawful employment, safe conditions, working hours, and wage compliance - supporting ethical Nursing Uniforms sourcing and consistent quality.
