How expensive are Scrubs?
Discount Medical Scrubs
How expensive are the medical uniforms (commonly known as Scrubs) to make and (for the hospital to) buy? I have heard they are pretty cheap on both accounts, Also what is the general policy about ownership, like can you have as many as you want, trade used for clean etc.

There are hospital-provided scrubs which are cheap for them to buy. You wear them if you work in surgery or other sterile areas. They usually don’t like you to take too many of them – some hospitals have vending machines that require you to return a pair before taking a new one.
Many people, and most nurses, prefer to buy their own scrubs – I’ve been getting mine at Tafford for years. They cost about $12 for a scrub top and $15 for a scrub pant – though they have great clearance sales for $9.99 and less! If you are in the market for scrubs, check out Tafford!
good luck!

You can buy them for about $20 to $30, sometimes less, off the rack at many department stores. Usually if you wear the hospital scrubs you change into them when you get to work and back into your own clothes before you leave. You get to wear as many as you need for cleanliness and so on throughout your shift. Some hospital personnel buy their own and wear those.
