Now that you’ve had a taste of some of Spring’s hottest trends, TELL US which one is your favorite??

Today is National IV Nurses Day!  This healthcare holiday was created back on January 25^th, 1980 when the U.S. House of Representatives wanted to honor nurse infusion specialists as well as the Infusion Nurses Society (which now has over 7,000 members!).   This year’s theme is “A Vital Role in Quality Healthcare”, which recognizes how crucial credentialed nurses are to a healthcare team.  Nurses specialized in infusions are essential for providing patients with the correct dosages of their medications as well as taking preventative measures against bloodstream infections that can occur at the infusion site.

Uniform Advantage would like to say Happy IV Nurses Day to all of our customers who are infusion nurses!  Since you do your part year-round to “get it right the first time” for your patients, go ahead and treat yourself to a new set of stylish spring scrubs!

This week is National Medical Group Practice Week.  This year marks the 9^th anniversary of this event which recognizes the positive effects that group practices have on the patients and communities they serve, as well as acknowledges the individuals who lead these group practices.  The theme this year is staff, which promotes high levels of employee satisfaction so that retention levels are high and employees are happy to best serve their patients.  It also includes managers making thorough hiring decisions when they are recruiting new employees.

Did you know…many group practices and hospital units have found that uniform scrub colors help increase a “team mindset” and employee morale?  Check out some of our favorite solid color medical uniforms if you think this uniform look would be a good fit for your staff!
