I'm an RN student in my last semester of nursing school. The college that I attend had a clinical "dress code" with 3 other versions of Cherokee scrub pants for us to choose from. None of the choices that we were given felt right on me and they were somewhat uncomfortable (as I did purchase 2 pair of the ones they required). Then I came across this style (#4044) and they are fabulous!! They have a tiny bit of stretch which makes them so much more comfortable during my long clinical hours (especially since we have to bend and move a lot when caring for patients) and the material they are made of is extremely soft. Much better than "traditional" scrubs that feel almost like sandpaper!! Luckily, my clinical instructors haven't noticed that my new found pants aren't the "required" ones that I wore in the beginning (and even some of my classmates have ditched the old style, uncomfortable "required" scrubs for this version), but when you are on your feet for 8 to 12+ hours a day, a comfortable pair of pants can make a world of difference. Plus, this style is made out of a much nicer/better looking material and look more professional than the ones that my program director (who has since been replaced by a new director) originally picked out. I would definitely recommend them and will absolutely be purchasing this style again in the future!!
