The fit of your scrubs is a key factor for a nurse or medical professional to be comfortable during their long shifts and workdays.

Look out in the product details and name if the fit is a modern tight fit or a classic baggy one. See if the pants are a high rise or low-rise. Be sure to note that different brands tend to have different lines with every type of fit. So, do not get discouraged if one line in a specific brand did not work for you.
