The fit
I love the two front pockets for stashing pens, snacks, and your phone! I personally am not the type of person to put anything in my pant pockets so this helps me stay organized!
Figs Casma Scrub Top
My favorite and most comfortable pant. Wide waistband so there's no rolling up or down, classic straight leg fit – this scrub pant will flatter any body type. You can't go wrong. I have multiple pairs!
Figs Kade Cargo Scrub Pants
A trendy and edgy version of the classic scrub pant - It still has a wide, non-slip waistband and super comfortable!
Figs Zamora Jogger Scrub Pants
No matter the season or temperature outside, you NEED to have a light sweater! Especially one that doesn't wrinkle or attract lint. This one is hands down my tried and true favorite and very popular with all medical professionals!
Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Jacket
You are on your feet ALL DAY and need to have supportive and comfortable footwear. I love my on clouds, and they have supported me through thousands of steps a day!

Everyday Essentials
1000% recommend a smart watch. I can quickly read incoming texts, answer/decline calls, or even glance at the time …. all without having to pull out my phone infront of a patient. Also love the step count!

Gold Bond Healing Hand Cream
Don't get caught with post-lunch breath!! These are my preference over gum because they're minty fresh and dissolve! You don't have to worry about finding somewhere to spit out your gum
Ice Breakers Cool Mints
You are on your feet CONSTANTLY and the sad reality is, your feet are going to swell. These help reduce swelling in my feet so I don't have aching feet at the end of my day!

pro tip: pens that don't have caps … because the caps end up getting lost and then you have ink everywhere… NOPE! click click and be done! these are my favorite because they write so smooth and do not smear!
Gel Pens
The worst thing is getting caught in the rain and risking looking wet and unprofessional. Be prepared for any kind of weather and always keep an umbrella handy!
Small Collapsible Umbrella
You are on your phone A LOT when you're working - never worry about your phone dying by having a portable charger!
