Ultimately, which brand of scrubs you choose is a personal preference. There are so many options so it may take a few tries to find a brand of scrubs you like. 

Look for scrubs that are durable, comfortable and a style that you feel confident in. You will be spending a lot of time in your scrubs so it is important that you love them!

You can check out scrub-focused stores like Scrubs & Beyond. Scrubs & Beyond have a wide range of brands, sizes, and styles. They also frequently have sales and discounts available and offer a special discount for students in the medical field.
