I am Not a nurse nor work in the industry. I am in my 50's and a heavy blue jeans lover now living in hot Florida and needing a lighter pant.  Capri's are not my style.  Cargo pants that are thin material, fitted and full length work but the cute ones are $70 plus.  I took a chance on these. WOW!  The material has a very tiny rib texture to it that feels tough but lightweight. Many different colors. FITS well around my butt and thighs and just enough pockets (some with Zippers).  I just got back from Hawaii and wore them everywhere - out to dinner/luau's with a dressy top and lots of bling and then dressed down with water shoes for the Zip line.  I am 5'3 140# with a 30 1/2" waist and the smalls fit perfect except length.  I bought black, white, and dark teal.  I had to hem them up 1 3/4" because I think my inseam is about 31" max. and I wear flats. The waist has some elastic with a pretty ribbed shiny ribbon to cinch up more if you like.  They travel excellent.  Fold them in two and roll them to pack. No iron necessary.
