The Unicorn of Scrubs: The Long Sleeve Scrub Top

Have you ever tried to find men’s long sleeve scrubs? Whether you searched the internet or actually got in your car and drove to your local scrub store (do those even still exist?), odds are you didn’t have an easy time finding what you were looking for. Sure, you can find long sleeve lab coats and scrub jackets galore, but those are completely different. Lab coats give a more formal look and scrub jackets create layers, and while they might be good solutions for some, they may not be right for you. It’s not your imagination. Except for our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top, scrub tops with long sleeves do not exist. None of the other scrub brands offer them, which makes our Long Sleeve Scrub Top a unicorn.  We’re not complaining, of course, but we are a bit mystified. Our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top is a best-seller, and the reason for this is probably that a good long sleeve scrub top can make your life a whole lot easier. A scrub top with long sleeves is one of the best and easiest ways to cover your arms, whether you’re trying to stay warm at work or trying to follow the rules of OSHA. Why we love our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top One-and-done. With a long sleeve scrub top, you can put it on in the morning (or at the beginning of your shift) and forget about it. There’s nothing extra to worry about; unlike a scrub jacket or arm sleeves, you won’t have to adjust it throughout the day or worry about taking it off and leaving it somewhere. And if you hate layers, why wear underscrubs when you can kill two birds with one stone? It’s easier on the old wallet. Instead of buying more things to cover up with, you only have to buy a scrub top – which you had to buy anyway. You still look like you’re wearing scrubs. Sometimes wearing a scrub jacket over your scrubs can make your scrubs look less like a uniform and more like athleisure. With a long sleeve scrub top you’re still a scrubs purist. Plus, you worked hard to get where you are and you earned the right to wear scrubs, so you might as well show them off.  Another reason you might like to our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top is that you can stand out from the crowd and be just a little bit different. And it might even be a conversation starter. When you wear long sleeve scrubs, people will come up to you and ask you where you got it, because chances are they’ve seen them in their dreams but have never been able to find them. Our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top is just like our popular Men’s Original Scrub Top, with its classic V-neck and traditional chest pocket, except it has long sleeves. Each sleeve has a comfortable band at the cuff that looks great and is functional. We offer our Men’s Long Sleeve Scrub Top in a wide range of sizes, from XXS to 3XL. Go ahead and try it. We think you’ll find it’s the perfect solution for covering your arms.

Simply The Best Men's Jogger Scrub Pants

To say that all men’s scrub joggers were created equal is simply not true. In fact, there are two rather distinct categories: TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants – and everybody else’s. The obvious difference between our Men’s Jogger Pants and those made by other scrub brands (who shall remain nameless here so as not to shame them for their misguided efforts) is that TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Pants were designed for men and other brands seem to have made them purely as an afterthought. Something like, “Hey, if we add a fly to these, don’t you think we could sell these to guys, too?” A reasonable assumption is that, if you’re looking at men’s pants, you’re hoping – and expecting – to find a somewhat masculine fit or style; otherwise, you’d be perusing the women’s pants, right? Men’s scrubs that make you look like you have a little testosterone in there is usually a plus. Men’s scrub pants need to have a certain feature, or five, to ensure that the dude wearing them doesn’t look, um, soft. It’s in the cut. The fabric. The stitching. The drawstring. (Don’t even get us started on the contrasting-color, pastel drawstrings we’ve seen out there lately. Really, people?) Let’s talk about the cut. Last time we checked, men weren’t super excited about having skinny-looking, tree twig calves and ankles. The cut of our Men’s Jogger Scrubs makes even skinny calves look muscular. In addition to the way our scrub joggers are cut below the knee, they also have strong ankle cuffs, which make your ankles look strong and sturdy. With three rows of stitching.The fabric is key, and we know that, which is why our fabric has a certain structure to it. Though it feels silky and smooth, it looks structured. Other brands may have soft fabric, but their soft fabric is also soft-looking – around the ankles, around the crotch. No bueno. Although stitching is something the layperson doesn’t think of, it makes all the difference in fashion. There are stitches that are barely there, and there are stitches that are noticeable. Most men’s clothing looks best with bold stitching because it accentuates the masculine features of the pants, shirt or jacket. For example, bold stitching accentuates masculine pockets and seams, which in turn makes the item look more masculine. TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants have masculine front pockets and hidden pockets on the derriere that you can actually see and appreciate because of the bold stitching. Same goes for the side seams and the cuffs – the stitching is noticeable, and therefore makes the pants – and the man wearing them – look strong and athletic. Who doesn’t want to look like that? But, alas, bad-looking men’s scrub joggers abound everywhere.  Except for ours. And that’s because our Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants were made and designed with men in mind. Go figure.

Does Nike Make Medical Scrubs?

When Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman founded Nike back in the 1960s, Nike wasn’t even called Nike, and the idea of making clothing wasn’t even on the radar. First called Blue Ribbon Sports, the company focused solely on developing and offering the best running shoes possible to what eventually became a cult following. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that Nike began making apparel, to give their die-hard fans even more to love of a brand that captivated them. Nike’s corporate mission today is “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.” The company further states that everybody is an athlete, based on co-founder Bill Bowerman's statement, “If you have a body, you are an athlete.” So, the question is: Will Nike ever make scrubs? Not likely, since practicing medicine isn’t a sport (although it oftentimes feels like it could be with all the training, physical endurance required and intense hours). While millions of Americans wish that it would, selling healthcare uniforms doesn’t fall in line with Nike’s athletic apparel offering or their agenda to help athletes perform better in sports. It’s fair to say that if Nike were to make scrubs, they’d probably look and feel a lot like TiScrubs. We are The Original Athletic Scrub, and we were founded in 2012 by an innovative and technology-obsessed dentist who wanted to create scrubs that looked as cool as what professional athletes wore on the field. TiScrubs: The Original Athletic Scrub From afar, TiScrubs have been mistaken for Nike scrubs countless times – at tradeshows, in the grocery store, you name it. There are two main reasons for this: the fabric that we use and the athletic vibe that is intrinsic to every scrub top and scrub pants that we design. At the height of the jogger craze (a craze that, incredibly, seems to have become a staple in every athleisure wardrobe) we introduced our own sporty version of a scrub jogger that instantly became one of our best-selling scrub styles of all-time. Our Men’s Scrub Jogger was so popular that we soon learned that many of our customers were buying them to wear outside of work as well. Our fabric is made especially for TiScrubs, to meet our exact specifications and give it the appearance and strength that makes it so undeniably unique and special. And just like your favorite Nike running shorts, TiScrubs can be washed and dried without a care in the world, and still come out looking perfectly wrinkle-free every time. Similar to Nike’s Dri-Fit® technology, TiScrubs has its own moisture-wicking technology to help keep hard-working medical professionals dry and comfortable when the going gets tough. Athletic Scrubs Have Added Benefits  Every piece in the TiScrubs collection has signature mesh panels designed to resemble and give the benefits of the mesh that adorns most NFL and other pro sports jerseys. These mesh panels not only look sporty and athletic, but they are functional, too. So while you may have been disappointed to learn that Nike doesn’t make scrubs for doctors and nurses when you first started reading this, you can take solace in knowing that there’s something out there that’s just as good, and just as cool. And, like Nike, TiScrubs offers free shipping on orders of $95 or more and no-hassle returns and exchanges. So what are you waiting for? I think Phil Knight would say, “Just do it.”

What Color Scrubs Should I Wear?

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it for years, you may find yourself wondering what scrub color you should be wearing. If you’re trying to figure it out, we’ve got some ideas that might make it a bit easier. Or, maybe you find yourself wondering why you have to wear the color that you do. Turns out, often times there are solid reasons behind why a particular color is chosen, and we can share some insight with you. Take a look at the following scenarios, see which one applies to you, and then let’s see if you don’t feel a little less stressed after you’re finished reading. Scenario #1: I do what I want! Your office manager is a control freak who makes Cartman from South Park look like an angel. “I do what I want”, though never uttered out loud, is his or her mantra. Sorry, but you’re out of luck. Your office manager loves the color chartreuse and, to hell with everyone else, you’re wearing it. Forever. Even if the color makes people’s eyes bleed.   Scenario #2: You are the boss, and you want to have the most kick-ass practice in town. The trend over the last decade has been for practices to move away from a “don-whatever-you-feel-like” look to a more uniform (pun intended!) look. If you are a practice owner with a penchant for perfection and want to have an office that looks as good as it runs, then you probably already know that outfitting your staff in stylish and professional-looking uniforms will complete the package. You may choose for those in your office to wear scrubs that color-coordinate with the décor – a la uniforms that match the fancy metallic leather upholstery that you selected for your patient chairs. With this approach, you don’t have to worry about your staff’s own standards of dress and personal appearance detracting from your patients’ otherwise-polished experience in your office. Perhaps you’re one of the lucky few with an award-worthy staff, so you’re okay with each individual standing out. You don’t mind a color that doesn’t quite mesh with the ambience you’ve created, as long as everybody looks neat and professional. In this instance, your staff’s personalities take center stage. If color-coordinating with your office décor or allowing everyone to wear all the colors of the rainbow feels too much to you, black scrubs are always an excellent choice. Not only does black look sophisticated and metropolitan, it also allows your cutting-edge technology and the care you deliver to shine the most brightly. Whatever your preference, just know that when choosing the colors for your office décor and your staff’s uniforms, color has a huge psychological impact on them and your patients. For example, bright, bold color schemes can raise a patient’s anxiety level, but they can also motivate and energize your staff. Here’s another tip: Having everyone in the same color (or a small selection of coordinating colors) each day can give your patients the assurance that what they are witnessing is one big, happy family – you work together as a team on all fronts, from appearance to coordinating the care that they are receiving. Scenario #3: You work for an institution that requires you to wear a certain color. Here’s another situation in which there’s not much you can do about the color of scrubs you wear. If you work at a hospital with a dress code then your choices are limited. But know that the powers that be have valid reasons for making different departments and disciplines wear unique scrub colors: color-coded scrubs can help communicate your role to the patients you treat, build trust, and greatly influence the overall mood. It might make you feel like you are back at summer camp, when you had to wear a red swim cap to indicate to the counselors in charge that you were a poor swimmer and had to be watched carefully, but don’t let it, because it’s definitely not the same thing. Color-coded scrubs don’t reflect your ability or how smart you are – they’re simply a way to let everyone know what your function is. No shame in the colors at all. The good news is that while management may be forcing you to wear a particular color, often times they don’t care which brand you wear. So, what you can’t do with color, you can certainly make up for with style. Most scrub brands nowadays, including TiScrubs, offer a wide selection of  flattering tops and pants styles for you to choose from. Scenario #4: The sky is the limit. If you work in a practice or at a hospital in which you can choose to wear any color scrubs you want, consider yourself lucky. If this is a luxury you’ve been afforded then, by all means, have some fun with it! Here are things to consider when choosing the scrub color that’s right for you. 1) Color Psychology Remember that colors can evoke different moods – for both you and your patients. Here are just a few to consider: BLUE Blue is everybody’s favorite color. Well, not exactly, but it’s definitely the most popular. About one-third of all people name blue as their favorite color. Different shades of blue can have subtly different effects. Ceil Blue can be relaxing and have a calming effect, so it is a perfect choice for a scrub color. Navy Blue can signal confidence, while Royal Blue gives off a feeling of energy, making these two shades of blue great choices too. RED Red can elevate a person’s heart rate, raise body tension, and increase anxiety, but, interestingly enough, shades like pink and burgundy, although in the same family of color as red, can actually create a soothing visual experience. GREEN Green, which gives a feeling of peace and tranquility, is found everywhere in nature. The grass and the trees are green, many of the foods we eat are green, etc. 2) In Honor of Those You Serve If you’re in the oncology field, then you are probably familiar with the different ribbon colors associated with each type of cancer. The most recognized color is pink for breast cancer awareness. If you are a gastroenterologist then you may want to wear Royal Blue, which is the color for colon cancer awareness. Burgundy is the color designated for oral cancer. 3) Colors That Look Great with Your Hair and Skin Color It seems crazy, but even the slightest variation in color shade can make or break how a particular color looks on you. It can mean the difference between looking radiant or washed out. There are lots of ways to determine what colors are right for you, but one of the easiest is to do a little test at home. Pull out several different-colored tops from your closet and drawers, and then park yourself in front of a mirror in a room that has great natural light. Next, hold up each top, one at a time, beneath your chin. Pay close attention to how your face changes as you hold up each one. If your face looks bright and radiant, it’s a good color for you. If it looks grey or washed out, then it’s not a good color for you. Make a list of all the colors that work for you, and use this list to determine which color scrubs you choose. Once you get your scrubs, do the same thing with them in order to make sure that their hue is right for you! 4) Go crazy! Patterned scrub tops are cool this time around. Really! Before you go conjuring up images of the nightmare-inducing scrub tops of yesteryear, let us explain: Now you can grab scrub tops in your favorite patterns -- just enough to add a little panache without crossing the line. Try them, you’ll like them. Now get shopping! The perfect scrubs are out there for you -- you just have to find them.

Becoming A Veterinary Technician

By: Nicole LaForest-Mayo BSc., LVT, RVT, CCFT Becoming a veterinary technician was one of the hardest things I have ever done, and many who have gone through the process would agree. For me, I entered college to become a veterinary technician at a pivotal time in our industry. I attended a distance-learning, at your own pace, program which was viewed as taboo and highly controversial at the time that I graduated. Can you learn the necessary skills to become a successful patient advocate? Could you have success in your career by attending college online? Yes, absolutely. I fought tooth and nail to be where I am today, and through my dedication to the profession; I’ll continue to promote patient care through my desire and willingness to bring my patients the best care available. There are very few states who currently honor uncredentialed individuals with the title of veterinary technician, and no; I will not delve into my stance beyond the fact that I advocate for knowledgeable, ethical and legally entitled professionals on all levels of animal care. In a majority of states and US territories, to become a veterinary technician you must graduate from an AVMA accredited program where you hone your skills working on large, small and exotic animals. After graduating with an associate's or bachelor’s degree in veterinary science, technician, technology and now even (veterinary) nursing, you will then have to take and pass your Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE) which is offered through the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). The VTNE contains 170 questions, with 20 of those questions being pilot questions, to pave way for future VTNE test-takers. The pilot questions are unscored and unmarked. Scary? You bet. Now, what does the VTNE consist of? Anesthesia, Emergency and Critical Care, Pain Management and Analgesia, Pharmacology, Dentistry, Laboratory Procedures, Diagnostic Imaging, Animal Care and Nursing as well as Surgical Nursing. Divide those domains across various species, and don’t forget that virtually any detail of your schooling may be applicable to the exam. The VTNE is reported on a scaled score from 200 to 800, with the magic passing number being 425. According to the AAVSB; the three-year national pass rate for the VTNE is 70.31% as reported by the board in April of 2018. Why is this pass rate not as bad as it sounds? This exam is brutal and in no way does a written test measure your abilities and capabilities of what you can do as a credentialed veterinary technician. Whether you agree with that statement or not, just remember that standardization is the key to elevating our standard of care. After passing the VTNE, and depending on your state or territory in the United States, a jurisprudence tests; also known as a state exam, must be completed in accordance with their regulations. A background check may also be required along with biometrics to act as a deterrent for individuals with a history of violence or unauthorized drug use. There are states where a jurisprudence exam is not applicable and passing the VTNE will allow you to immediately begin working in the veterinary industry. Currently, there are very few states that offer reciprocity for credentialed veterinary technicians to seamlessly work in various parts of our country without having to obtain a permanent or temporary state licenses. This concept of unity and standardization across our country will ultimately be the key to elevating the veterinary technology profession. Now that you’ve finally busted into veterinary medicine as a credentialed veterinary technician, the fun is just beginning: Looking into the future of the animal health industry, it’s important to focus on our unified voice as the advocates for our patients and clients. Regardless of whether you are a veterinary assistant, technician, receptionist, veterinarian or even a volunteer; it’s crucial that we set our eyes, conclusively, on what is best for our patients. ----- About the author: Nicole is a LVT in WA State and carries dual credentialing in CA as a RVT and is the current President of the Washington State Association of Veterinary Technicians.

How To Choose The Best Medical Scrubs For Men

Scrubs with a Heart

There are many reasons why TiScrubs is quickly becoming the brand of scrubs more people are wearing. One reason is our comfortable fabric. We have the most comfortable scrubs you will ever put on your body because of the quality of our fabric and feel of our scrubs against your skin. Our material is silky, smooth and soft. Another reason people wear our scrubs is that they look amazing. The fabric is wrinkle-resistant. You won’t have to spend time ironing to look sharp and professional. Customers wear TiScrubs for the athletic-inspired fit. The pants have an elastic waistband with a drawstring that gently hugs your waist or hips (when you roll down the waistband) for a more flattering look and feel. The top has mesh panels on the side seams and under your arms, to help maintain a comfortable body temperature when your days get hectic. Our colors have been chosen to compliment all skin tones, and we have a size to fit everyone in the office.  Emotional Benefits of buying TiScrubs Buying TiScrubs has emotional benefits as well. When you purchase a pair of Tiscrubs, a portion of the proceeds is donated to TeamSmile. TeamSmile is a non-profit organization that partners pro sports teams and dental professionals around the U.S. to bring much-needed dental services to underserved children in their communities. In fact, TeamSmile events are held in the stadiums and arenas of the sports teams involved with each program. And when we say “partner” what we mean is “show up”, because players and coaches “show up” to dance with the kids, hold their hands during treatment, and sign autographs. The smiles are contagious, of players and participants alike. Players choose to be there for the kids and spend time with them. An example of this was the recent TeamSmile event held in San Diego with the Chargers. #25, Darrell Stuckey, was there (along with a few of his teammates), and spent much of his time on the dance floor sharing moves with a 7-year-old who couldn’t have been more excited. Darrel was the Chargers' 2015 Walter Payton Man of the Year. That year the Kansas City, Kansas School District presented him with the “Reason to Believe Award” which is given to an alumnus who has made a positive impact on the community. Darrell came with a heart to serve, and he came to play and dance on the Club Level of the San Diego Chargers stadium with the underserved children from around the San Diego area.Your purchase of TiScrubs helps fund events like this around the U.S. all year-long. Every pair of scrub pants sold makes it possible for a child to get a cavity filled, receive an x-ray they need, or get sealants to protect his or her teeth from future cavities. Every purchase of a scrub top helps fund supplies or food for volunteers. Your purchase makes it possible for TiScrubs to provide their scrubs to the volunteers TeamSmile needs to execute the event -- doctors, hygienists, assistants, and sterilization personnel.So thank you for your support! Together, we can show we care about the children in our very own communities who need dental education and services that will help them live healthier lives.

Spotlight on Women’s Scrubs

If you saw our last blog post about the President of TiScrubs, Natalie Busch, you know how important customer satisfaction, quality, and function are to the creation of each and every scrub top and pants that bears the TiScrubs name. Introducing the Mesh Scrub Jacket for Women and the Long-sleeve Scrub Top for Men We talked to our customers — at meetings, at trade shows, and in their offices — and they told us they wanted . . . sleeves!

Machine wash and dry, and it comes out looking fantastic and ready to slip on for work. TiScrubs is the brand for cool-looking, athletic-inspired, scrubs for men and women around the U.S. And now there is now yet another reason to become a TiScrubs fan!

What the Ti means in TiScrubs

Many people ask us why our scrubs are called TiScrubs. Questions we get all the time are “What exactly does the ‘Ti’ mean?” and “How do I say ‘TiScrubs’ anyway?” (We hear everything from “tis-scrubs” to “ty-scrubs” to “t-i-scrubs”.)First, let’s clarify the pronunciation: ‘TiScrubs’ is pronounced ‘t-i-scrubs’. The ‘Ti’ in ‘TiScrubs’ is the symbol for Titanium, a chemical element with the atomic number 22 (hence, the 22 in our brand’s logo). Our customers immediately recall this from Chemistry class, as Titanium and its place in the periodic table are things they became intimately familiar when studying medicine.Titanium is a metal with a silver color, and it is low in density (which makes it very lightweight) and high strength. Our scrubs are exactly that – lightweight yet strong. This combination makes us very unique in the world of scrubs and, considering the demanding work that our customers do every day, we believe these are two useful qualities to have in a scrub. Our scrubs are lightweight (and silky on the inside). Customers often say they feel like they are wearing pajamas – or nothing at all! Once they wear our scrubs, they tell us they can’t go back to wearing the heavy, traditional cotton scrubs again.In our previous post, we discussed how easy to care for TiScrubs are and how well they hold up. They do not fade or pill like cotton blended scrubs. TiScrubs are strong. They can withstand both the long day at work, and they hold up after being washed rigorously on a regular basis. TiScrubs don’t fade and always look as good as the day you first bought them. Natalie Busch, TiScrubs CEO and creator, offered her input on how titanium reflects the company and its product: “Titanium is used in everything from toothpaste to vitamins to make-up; it is essential in our everyday life. It’s the best element to work with when making alloys because it’s lightweight-yet-strong, and results in a superior product. Our scrubs are all of these things – essential, strong-yet-lightweight and, to put it simply, the best! And, just like titanium, TiScrubs is here to stay!”

The Benefits of TiScrubs

When you are working, you probably do not think much about how your clothing impacts your day-to-day work life; however, once you try TiScrubs, you are going to realize how much you have been missing. Not long ago, Dental Products Report featured an article about the benefits of using TiScrubs in your practice after talking with Dr. Chad Wagener, DDS. In the article, Chad Wagener, DDS spoke about how TiScrubs have made a difference in his dental practice, and why first impressions are important:     “Patients have several first impressions when they come to our office, from the initial phone call, to the office décor and the professionalism of the team,” he said. “I have a very busy general dentistry office that is modern and high tech. When it came to finding new scrubs for my team and I, we really did not want the traditional cotton or blended lab coats or smocks. I was looking for something more modern looking.    “While at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, TiScrubs caught my eye.  These scrubs were different from anything else I had seen. They were lightweight, breathable and antimicrobial. My team was excited about them, and our patients constantly comment on how professional we look. These scrubs are very comfortable to wear, keep me cool even during my toughest procedures and are holding up great!” Certainly first impressions are not everything to patients, but they sure do help. Giving a professional first impression can go a long way with a patient, and following up that good first impression with quality service only reinforces the professionalism.Dr. Busch in TiScrubsIn addition to giving a great first impression to patients, TiScrubs has also helped cut costs for Dr. Wagener’s practice. “Previously we were sending our scrubs out to a local dry cleaner to have them laundered and pressed.  Now we have installed a washer and dryer and do our own laundry.  This has saved us hundreds of dollars every month with minimal additional time from the team. The scrubs come out of the dryer looking great, and we have not noticed any fading like we used to with our cotton blended scrubs. And if the scrubs were not enough, some of the profits go towards helping TeamSmile, a non-profit organization using professional sports to draw disadvantaged kids into their first dentistry experience. TiScrubs are a win-win, and they make any team look and feel their best and make a great first impression!” Victoria Carr, the Expanded Function Dental Assistant for Dr. Chad Wagener’s practice, was very complimentary of TiScrubs.  “After 19 years working in the dental field, it has been refreshing to find scrubs that are functional, fashionable, comfortable and easy to maintain all in one product.”    “Because our attire is consistent day in and day out, it is important to our team to feel good about what we wear. Our new TiScrubs do just that!  From a very busy vendor floor at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting, our first impression of the TiScrubs product and representatives stood out among all the rest and has proven itself over the last year. They have been wonderful to work with!” From giving a great first impression to cutting costs, TiScrubs can add so much to your business. Order your scrubs today to experience first-hand the many benefits TiScrubs can make for your office!
