November 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment

MyNursingUniforms is pleased to present this brief article on the history of nursing uniforms and the emergence of the nursing scrub. This particular article focuses on the 19th century onward.

For years, nurses everywhere have had few options in their workwear. Nursing uniforms were shapeless garments, drawstring or elastic only, with few variations in colors and prints regardless of manufacturer.
