Cherokee Scrubs: A Test Drive

By Beth | April 7, 2008

Today I will be reviewing the Cherokee V-neck tunic scrub top and the Cherokee v-neck scrub pant, both in mandarin orange, from My Nursing Uniforms. It’s taken me awhile to write this review. That’s because there was something slightly unfavorable about these scrubs and I wasn’t sure how to approach it. The color I chose is a little bit “out there,” so to speak. It was described as Mandarin Orange, but I think a more apt description would be Safety Belt Orange. In fact, the first time I wore them, one of my not so tactful colleagues felt the urge to ask me if I had just gotten out of prison. My not so tactful husband asked me if I was going to work out on the roads that day.

Despite these snarky comments, I also got many compliments on the color. Whether these people were just being polite, or they think that neon orange is a good color on me, I will never know. I can safely say, however, that this shade of orange is definitely a conversation starter.

There are also some things that I really like about these scrubs and I would definitely purchase them for myself, but perhaps in a more muted color. What else did I like? Two things: the cut and the pockets. If you’ve read my other reviews, you know how I feel about pockets, I need them to do my job. The Cherokee tunic top actually has two deep pockets and an inner longer pocket that is great for storing pens. I also like the tunic cut. It is a little longer, going down a little past the waistline. The pants were slightly too long for me. They are mediums and I am 5′4″ and the hem drags on the floor.

All of this considered, I would definitely consider these scrubs PixelRN-worthy - just in a different color and a slightly shorter pant.

(In the interest of full disclosure, I will let you know that my friends at My Nursing Uniforms are compensating me for this review, although the compensation was not dependent on a positive or glowing review - what I am telling you here is my honest of opinion of these scrubs.)
