Scrubs That Glow (Literally)

Scrubs That Glow




When I found out about this product feature I decided I had to share it with you. I’ll be honest; it’s not the most necessary feature I’ve ever seen on a pair of medical scrubs, but nevertheless, it’s really fun! And remember, there’s nothing wrong if you buy medical scrubs because they’re fun!


 


So here’s the feature: This apparel scrub top from Koi, the Kathryn Stardust Scrub Top, has stars on it that glow in the dark! I already loved the style and print of the top, but now that I know it has glow in the dark stars, I love it even more!


 


You may not spend a lot of time in the dark while you’re at work, but if the lights ever do go out and you happen to be wearing this scrub top from Lydia's; everyone will know where to find you!





Treat Your Feet Right

Any job that requires long hours standing, walking and possibly running (depending on the day) requires a pair of good shoes. I’m willing to guess that nursing is one of those jobs, correct me if I’m wrong.

There’s nothing worse than having a bad day at work and the entire situation being intensified by an aching in your feet, legs and back. I know the feeling well. I’ve never been a nurse, but after spending six years as a waitress I can definitely say that I’ve been there. I’ve worn through more than one pair of cheap shoes. I eventually learned that investing in a pair of comfortable shoes that fit well was usually key in making long hours on my feet more bearable. If only I had surrendered to this idea right away waitressing might have been a touch more tolerable.

So I went looking through our shoe selection at Lydia’s to find the shoes that can provide comfort to you during long workdays (and match your scrubs). I found them! They are the Earth Solar Shoe, which have a feature called KALSO Negative Heel Technology. Personally, I think the name sounds a bit silly, but after owning my own pair of Earth shoes I can say that no matter what they call it, the shoes are comfortable! The negative heel technology shifts your entire body weight, which in turn takes some of the strain off your feet. It also promotes better breathing, better posture, stronger core muscles and tighter thighs. Those things sound great to me! In addition to the heel technology the shoes have gel cushioning and arch support. And in my opinion, they are actually pretty cute for a pair of work shoes.

What do you think of these work shoes? Do they meet your comfort needs of a nurse or do you have a different brand that’s a favorite? Let everyone know what shoes work for you!

If you already have a favorite brand check out our clearance selection of shoes because we might just have them on sale!

Medical Equipment & Supplies (wholesale)

Medical equipment and supplies companies offer hospital, products, diabetic, ostomy, respiratory, wheelchairs, durable, shower chairs, commodes, crutches, incontinence, walkers, canes, and dressings products and services. When choosing a medical equipment and supplies company, research their background thoroughly.

Choose a few different options to start with and contact each one. Ask for references, contact information, quotes and an outline of company policy. Ask how long they have been in operation and whether it is a local, national or multinational entity. Make sure the company you choose has proper licenses and certificates. In this day and age the physical location of a business dealing in hospital beds, orthopedic scales, discount test kits, blood pressure monitors, wound care supplies, gauze, bandages, benches and elevated toilet seats may or may not exist. Many companies are solely available online.

This means it's prudent to scour their official website in order to see how professionally it's laid out. It should reveal how large they are and whether or not they ship internationally. If they do, be sure to inquire about shipping costs and any additional fees. You'll want to know what you're getting into before actually purchasing. All in all, so much depends on the medical equipment and supplies you desire and what each company can offer you in regards to promptness, customer service and discounts.

Regardless of which wholesale supplier of medical equipment you decide to deal with, make certain you're aware of their routine hours of operation and when they will actually be available to assist you when you need them to. In the end there are numerous medical equipment dealers, suppliers and wholesalers to work with in cyberspace. Therefore if you're not fully satisfied with one, simply choose another to handle your business whether it's diabetic, ostomy, respiratory or wheelchairs needs.
