How to choose uniforms for your healthcare program
Choosing the right uniforms for your healthcare students is more important than it may seem. Scrubs represent professionalism, safety, and school identity — and for many students, they are the first step toward their healthcare career.
Whether you're managing a nursing program, CNA cohort, or allied health school, here are the key factors to consider when selecting the right uniforms.
1. Choose a durable, comfortable fabric
Healthcare students move constantly — bending, kneeling, lifting, and performing skills labs. Their uniforms need to be:
- Stretchy
- Breathable
- Fade-resistant
- Easy to wash
At Emblem Edge Uniforms, we source comfortable, flexible fabrics designed for repeated use and washing.
2. Pick consistent, professional colors
Most programs choose Royal Blue, Ceil Blue, Black, Hunter Green, or Burgundy. Consistent colors create unity, professionalism, and easy identification during clinicals.
Special-order colors are quoted separately. Availability and timing will be confirmed in writing.
3. Add embroidered logos for school identity
Embroidery enhances school pride, helps identify students, prevents uniform confusion, and represents your institution during clinical rotations. Logo placement and embroidery details are confirmed with the school’s approved digital proof.
4. Offer accurate sizing for every student
Well-fitted scrubs help students feel confident and comfortable. Mixed student sizes and approved men’s and women’s styles may be included within a qualifying school-program order.
5. Plan ahead for the next cohort
Share your required delivery date when requesting pricing. Production time depends on quantity, product availability, colors, and customization. Your confirmed schedule will be included with your quote.
Schools with approved programs can also use private ordering pages for ongoing reorders.
