Why Do Nurses Wear Scrubs?
Scrubs are easy to wash and keep clean, which is a must when working in a healthcare environment. They also prevent both doctors and patients from getting infections, because modern scrubs are made with antimicrobial material.

What is the point of scrubs?

Scrubs help protect against cross contamination.

Medical scrubs that are processed in a specialized facility (and not in employee homes) prevent the spread of possibly contagious infections and viruses. Scrubs must be cleaned with as much precision and with the same focus on hygiene as any other medical care linen.

Why are scrubs better than regular clothes?

Scrubs Are Generally Cleaner Than Regular Clothes

Moreover, scrubs are not re-worn without proper cleaning thus they make it difficult to carry potential contaminants or germs to work. This minimizes the chances of both - patients and nurses carrying germs from one person to person.
