Nurses work across so many different places. Large hospitals may provide their own uniform set or have very rigorous requirements on what to wear and what not, or perhaps they will allow any type of uniform that staff wants to wear or tunic as long as it matches the ward or role colour. A smaller department may even decide among themselves which is the best nurses uniform to go for.

Nursing Uniforms: Design

One aspect that we know is very important for nursing uniforms is the need of lots of pockets. A nursing professional could end up needing to carry plenty with them as they go about their day. All nurse tunics or uniforms should be well equipped with pockets for catering to these needs.

Nursing Uniforms: Comfort

When you’re up for a long busy shift you want to be able to put your uniform on and forget about it. You want to avoid any irritations like scratchy or uncomfortable fabric, too-tight, too-loose or ill-fitting uniforms. The fabric should be breathable and should have the required amount of stretch.

Nursing Uniforms: Unisexuality

One of the most popular nursing uniforms, especially in large hospitals and wards, is a unisex uniform set. It combines a more traditional polycotton scrub fabric with cool styles, lots of pockets and a wide range of colours and sizes. All staff members should have the same clothing.

“it’s very hard to crack the walls and create equality in the times we live in. Unisex clothing is a small but essential way to roll out a line of conversation towards a broader dialogue about equality”.

If you are planning to buy uniforms for your staff, you should search for these qualities and buy accordingly.
