黑料吃瓜群网

When Van Nguyen graduated and became a registered nurse, she struggled to find good-quality scrubs locally. The scrubs that were available lacked comfort, style and functionality.

Van is a critical care nurse at Sunshine 黑料吃瓜群网, one of the busiest emergency departments (EDs) in the west of Melbourne. Together with her sister Linh, Van founded to solve her scrub woes.

鈥淢y research led me to realise that there was a gap in the Australian market and that healthcare workers like me were paying way too much just for shipping in order to obtain decent quality scrubs from overseas,鈥� Van said. 鈥淲ith this in mind, I approached my sister Linh, and we realised there was an opportunity for us to make a change.

鈥淏eing a frontline worker in the ED, all I really wanted was some stylish, functional and comfortable scrubs that would enable me to show up every day, feeling good about what I do and how I looked.鈥�

Van and Linh wanted their scrubs to be functional, flattering and comfortable for healthcare professionals to wear during long shifts, with more pockets being essential.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 put up with how non-attractive my scrubs were 鈥� sometimes it felt like a chore having to put them on for work. I envisioned something creative, colourful and fun.鈥�

Van explained that her mother is a very talented seamstress, who was able to bring the sisters鈥� prototype to life.

鈥淭he amount of interest I received after wearing my prototype to work was overwhelming. It confirmed to us that there really was a need for premium-quality scrubs that were functional and stylish, and hence Scrub Lab was born!鈥�

Scrub Lab鈥檚 range is available in different colours and styles, so that healthcare professional look good and feel good when they put them on. To set them apart from competitors, Scrub Lab鈥檚 fabrics are engineered to have antimicrobial, anti-wrinkle and super soft qualities, with four-way stretch.

Scrub Lab has seen exponential growth in response to the shifting apparel choices of healthcare workers nationally in response to the pandemic.

鈥淭he pandemic caused a shockwave through the healthcare system. It made us more aware and more vigilant in regards to infection control 鈥� we were now fighting an invisible enemy. So, for us to go to work and come home during the pandemic was a big risk for our families. We didn鈥檛 want to carry it home, so the demand for scrubs increased. Everyone 鈥� including occupational therapists, physiotherapists and admin staff for example 鈥� was encouraged to change from casual clothes to scrubs and started wearing them instead of their own uniform.鈥�

Professor Declan Murphy, Director Of Robotic Surgery at in Melbourne, is one such professional ditching his 鈥檚uit and tie鈥� uniform for a more comfortable scrub. Dr Murphy stumbled upon Scrub Lab by chance.

鈥淥ne of Dr Murphy鈥檚 colleagues was wearing our scrubs and he thought they looked great, so he approached us to buy some scrubs for himself,鈥� Van said. 鈥淗e was blown away at how comfortable and well fitted they were. His exact comment that he left on our website was, 鈥楩antastic. Great fit, handy pockets, easy wash with no ironing鈥�.鈥�

Scrub Lab has had numerous reviews and emails from happy customers, who really appreciate that there is now an Australian brand they can buy from that provides them with comfortable and stylish scrubs.

Van said, 鈥淭he most outstanding thing for us would be our material and how it is ultrasoft. Our customers like our designs and definitely the colours. It鈥檚 a game changer and gets them excited to go to work.鈥�
