Whether or not youre affiliated with the health care industry or have insight into those who work in this difficult but highly rewarding profession, you may be confused by the exact function and explanation of what nursing scrubs are.

In order to do any job correctly, the proper utilities, materials and tools are required. No matter what the task at hand, it is always crucial to be prepared before one begins. And a crucial part of preparation is ensuring that all of the necessary utilities, materials and tools are available whenever they are needed. Thus, just as a dentist would not try to go to work on a cavity without a drill, and just as a carpenter would not attempt to build a table without a hammer, medical specialists such as nurses would not be able to properly perform their jobs without scrubs for nursing.However, unlike many other tools of the trade, particularly in the medical profession, one cannot assume that scrubs for nursing will simply be there whenever they are needed.

Perspective is a funny thing. Although the world around us pretty much remains consistent most of the time (barring some revolutionary change in the way things work), there is a massive amount of power in our perceptions. The way in which you see the world based on your background, your expectations, your experiences, your hopes, and information other people tell you can provide limitless amounts of influence on how you react to things in your every day life. You may not realize it, but your perceptions shape everything that you sees, so you are probably by now used to your own vantage point. However, that does not mean that no influence is being exerted; arguably, your perceptions have more of an influence if you dont realize their power.Perceptions based on your perspective affect everything, including how you view others, and even situations that dont have a direct bearing on your life. For example, if you have limited experiences in one area or aspect of something, you might misunderstand things due to your perceptions or at the very least see them differently than others. One example is that if you are not involved in the health care professional or the medical field, you...more
