Hi, I'm Barbara, AKA your nursing educator on Instagram. I'm a registered nurse, and I make content that's all about helping nursing students thrive. One of the first and easiest things I tell nursing students, if you haven't already done so, upgrade your scrubs to Figs. Out with the stiff, boxy scrubs, in with the ridiculously comfy, well-designed Figs that were specifically designed with us in mind. They're super soft, lightweight, and breathable, with four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric that keeps up during long shifts. Pockets are exactly where you need them, the fit feels modern and tailored, and they hold their shape wash after wash. Whether you're in class, at clinical, or working the floor, you deserve scrubs that work as hard as you do. Go to wearfigs.com and use code FIGSCIA for 15% off your first order. That's wearfigs.com, code FIGSCIA.
