Nurse Bling: No Tricks—All Treats

This article was republished with permission from SCRUBS Magazine.

You know what we love (aside from the obvious, chocolate) about Halloween? The fact that it’s basically become a month-long event, which means you can get your holiday-spirit fix regardless of whether you’re spending All Hallows’ Eve on the clock.

Of course, that also means you’re going to want to have a lot of Halloween-themed gear on hand and ready to spook—or delight.

Think your work wardrobe could use a dash of Halloween flair? Well, then—fabulous, because we’ve already done all the work for you.

Now, to start—badges, badges, badges:

A little more long-sleeved action by HeartSoul, because fall weather can be frightful. Plus, there’s a round neck and sleeve bands because, well, the fit shouldn’t be.

Yoke seams, patch pockets and double-needle top stitching—oh yes.

And for the guys:

This men’s v-neck by Dickies channels all of the colors of Halloween: orange, purple and black. Meanwhile, a convenient D-ring and chest pocket channel all of your needs.

Paired with an eye mask that can be taken on and off (and cleaned!) with ease, this Batman-themed scrubs top makes for a clever costume just perfect for the pediatric unit. (So long as your supervisor agrees, of course!)

Thinking about taking your Halloween work uniform to the next level in full costume? Share your ideas with your fellow nurses in the comments section below.
