Good news!!!!

You can start with just two pairs of scrubs and wash them after every two shifts until you get paid and and can afford some more. Is there scrubs store by you so you see on clearance (better deals than online) or thrift shops or eBay. My husband recently switched hospitals and he had to switch color of his scrubs. Omg what the pain that was.

We now have ton of old scrubs still in a good condition but wrong color and it took forever to build a set of a new color as his top and bottom sizes don’t match at all.

You said 5xl tops. What color? I swear I saw bigger sizes out there in scrubs store when I was looking for hubby. I can look some up for you online as not sure when I’ll get to the store.

Oh I have another thought. When you get interviewed and offered a job ask if they give one pair of scrubs to start. One place my husband worked for gave away a pair a year. You never know

But be mindful buying scrubs ahead of time as if you get hired in
some different place they might require different color and you’ll be stuck with wrong colors
