Nursing Uniforms

This post is dedicated to a largely forgotten sector of our community: nurses. My partner has been in hospital for the last 13 days for liver and kidney problems and I have been very impressed with the unsung work that the nurses do every single day to help people and make them feel better. My partner is possibly getting discharged this week so this is good news for all involved. I apologise for the lack of posts during this time.

I have been around the hospital so much that I can now tell the role of the medical professional by their uniform. From the department supervisors, to doctors, nurses, cooks, orderlies and cleaning staff.
















Doctors, nurses and all manner of hospital staff need the best quality uniforms to keep them looking sharp and up-to-date. Medical professionals looking for good quality nursing scrubs, tops, pants, scrub jackets and twill lab coats have a great range of choices when it comes to medical uniforms.




















lab coat

This 37" (94cm) white twill lab coat features a left top pocket, 2 x front patch pockets and pleated back. The coat comes complete with button belt.






















V-Necked Top

This basic v-necked top 29" (73.7cm) features a left top pocket, front patch pocket and right accessory pocket for storing small items such as tape and bandages.

Since visiting this site, I have discovered that there is such a thing as "medcouture". Katherine Heigl (from the TV show Grey's Anatomy) even has her own range of medical wear. So it seems that the medical profession and fashion are not mutually exclusive.

Please note that International nurses day is coming next month so along with celebrating the fashion, let's take the opportunity to celebrate all the incredible work that nurses do for others in the community.

One Click Gifts

Special days have a way of creeping up on you. Before you know it, it is someone's Birthday, Valentine's Day or some other special occasion. And lets face it, not all of us have time to get to the shops to find gifts at the last minute. That's where Gift Cards can give us the unfair advantage. Gift cards give the recipient a wide range of items from which they can choose the perfect present for themselves.

The best part about shopping online is the convenience. You can buy gifts at any time, get special discounts and take delivery without even leaving your computer. No crowds, no traffic jams, no public transport and no headaches. Everybody wins.















Using GiftZip is surprisingly easy. Check out how the Gift Cards work for the complete rundown on how to use the site. You may have a gift in mind, say a Ralph Lauren gift card. Just search for the store logo and click - now you should see this box:

















It won't take you long to figure out how to use this feature. Just click on "GiftZip It!" and it will take you to Ralph Lauren's site to purchase the gift card.

Your gift card will then be sent to the email address of your recipient. It can be also sent to your own email address to print for your records.

This is the perfect solution to those last-minute gift panics. Just choose a brand and you can send a gift card in minutes. This is a great idea for the times where you just can't get to the shops or it is just too late to think about hunting around for the perfect gift. It works especially well if you happen to know the preferred brand of your nearest and dearest - they can find exactly what they want and you can provide them with the ultimate shopping experience.

You can also find Gift Certificates for unique gifts. In this section you can purchase gift cards for special, personalized items like t-shirts, baby items, custom printed artwork and charity gifts. I especially liked the Canvas on demand gifts - you can use your own photo and get it printed on a canvas. There is such a wide selection of gift ideas you should be able to find something for everyone. The site contains gift card ideas for him, for her, house, gourmet items and sporting goods.

Hmmm, methinks a golfing gift might be on the cards, if you pardon the pun...
