So I'm trying to be proactive and look for pinning ceremony scrubs NOW rather than in April when I have no time and am in a rush. I need WHITE scrubs (why....?) so I thought I'd look for brands that are thicker/heavier - but most are thin material that's stretchy and shows ALL the leg, butt and stomach bumps :/ not cool.
They’re super expensive but incredibly worth it. I’d consider buying one pair and washing them each day. They just ran a 30% off sale for Black Friday.

My Koi Lindsey pants are thicker material and I have worn several of their lighter colors without issue, but not the white. I would expect the white to be fine though given how the others worked. ETA: they are also cargo style pants, so looser in general. If you look at other brands and want not tight pants, check if they have a cargo style.

I’m not sure what you consider thicker material as all scrubs I wore In med school and residency from the hospital seemed like typical thickness. But I did recently order a pair from scrubs and beyond, they have different brands. I got the wonder wink brand, which seems pretty similar to hospital thickness if that’s what you mean. I’ve also heard that figs are comfortable but I don’t know if they come in white. Good luck!
Dickies and Cherokee make thicker ones. I would ask you school about it. For uniformity, most schools have everyone wear the same thing.
Almost there! I’me excited for you.
Our school is unique... they tell you xyz color and let you go from there. They did the same with our clinical uniforms - just had to be ceil blue and have the patch on the arm (which is purchased separately).
Thank you! I'm excited (and ridiculously nervous too - I know that I know about 5% of what I need to know to be successful).

Got it. You know more than you think you know. Trust me.
Dickies and Figs have the thickest fabrics. I loooove Figs. So comfy.
You say this is for the pinning ceremony, so almost graduation? And they want you to buy new white scrubs that you'll never wear again? No. Buy cheap ones and wear skin colored underwear.
Sapphire scrubs are my favorite brand. This is the style I bought Women's Roma Low Rise Zip Fly Slim Pant. They are like $30 on Amazon and hold up well.
Congrats! Is your nursing school through a hospital program? Our pinning ceremony was at our University and thankfully it was business formal (suits/ties and dresses with heels type stuff).

No, my program is through the local community college. Luckily I'm still in an area that hires ADNs with the expectation and understanding that we'll get our BSN within 5 years or so.
I wish we could be business casual. :/ I tried looking for previously worn scrubs but came up way way way short. Oh well, I'll sell these once I'm done with them!
thatgirl2478 , I still remember when you started!! Congratulations!! Have you decided where to work afterwards?
Thank you, you are too sweet!
I have pretty much decided that I want to be on an Intermediate Medical floor (possibly neuro if it comes around again). It's nice because it's at Nurse:Patient ratio of 1:3 and the patients are slightly worse off than a regular medical floor but not as bad as ICU.
That said, I'm still thinking I might still apply for the ICU...because I like a challenge.

Holla!!! Don’t do intermediate. Go straight for ICU. You won’t regret it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. But it was the best decision I ever made.

Thanks, that's pretty much what my latest clinical instructor implied when I mentioned I was interested in both. But he also told me to consider getting an MSN in nursing education so I could teach after getting floor experience.

I think that's a great plan, if you ultimately decide that is what you want! Our unit educators are amazing and several of my former coworkers have gone on to teach in nursing programs. There is definitely a need for it.
If you like critical care already, I think you'll find that you love it even more once you start. Don't let the first year determine it though because it is historically very difficult for most new nurses due to the sheer amount of information you're expected to learn. But the autonomy that comes with ICU nursing is amazing and the wealth of information that you learn throughout the course of your career is worth it.
