Cheap Scrubs

Every month, there are about 10,000 internet searches for the term “cheap scrubs”. At Tafford, we wonder if cheap scrubs are really that cheap in the long run. If you pay $4.99 for a cheap scrub top and it wears out after 3 washes, was it really cheap? If a pair of cheap scrub pants doesn’t fit you right and you are uncomfortable all day, are the cheap scrubs worth it?

At Tafford, we manufacture our nursing scrubs to go the distance. You’ll find comfort and durability features like cotton-rich fabrics, tagless scrub tops, double stitched stress seams, bar-tacked pockets, and more! You’ll find seven styles of pants to fit every body. You’ll find 25 colors and a range of sizes including XXS, plus sizes, petites, and talls. Since we control the design and manufacturing process, we can offer our high quality scrubs at value prices that won’t hurt your pocketbook. Some of our prices maybe cheap, but we do not sell any “cheap scrubs.”

If you are on a tight budget and want to save, join our email program and stay tuned for special discount offers and free shipping specials. Join the Tafford Scrub Club and earn points towards free merchandise with every purchase. Or visit our clearance section for cheap scrubs -- Tafford style. Our clearance section has discount scrubs in every size shape, and color, so you can buy your scrubs on the cheap, but don’t have to settle for “cheap scrubs”.

Plus Size Nursing Scrubs

Despite statistical data that suggests that the average American women's size 14, with a majority of the female population wearing 14 or greater, most nursing uniform manufacturers continue to provide only clothing for smaller-sized customers. Tafford's exclusive line of plus size scrubs for women size 20 and higher, was designed to provide the plus size medical professional with nursing scrubs that are stylish, professional and right fit for plus sized individuals. All Tafford Essentials solid scrubs and Tafford exclusive print scrubs are available in plus sizes 2XL, 3XL, and 4XL. Select colors and styles are now available in extended sizes 5X/5XL and 6X/6XL.

We believe that extended and plus size nurses and medical professionals deserve the same professional and stylish look as everyone else. We do not offer limited plus sizes by color or style – all of our styles of nursing scrubs are available in plus sizes and extended sizes. In Tafford catalogs and on tafford.com, you will find our plus size nursing uniforms showcased on plus size models so you can see exactly how our nursing scrubs will fit you. You will also find a great selection of wide-width nursing shoes, plus size support socks and hosiery, plus size lab coats, tees, polos, and more!

Tafford Announces Latest Nursing Scholarship Winners

Misty Blue Foster and Solande Louis Named Recipients of Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship





Tafford Uniforms, a leading supplier of nursing scrubs, shoes, and medical accessories, today announced that two students have been awarded the Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship. Misty Blue Foster and Solande Louis are the third and fourth recipients of the Tafford Uniforms Nursing Scholarship, which was first awarded in June 2007.

The Tafford Uniforms Scholarship Committee selected two winners of $1,000 scholarships from an incredible pool of applicants. Solande Louis, a student at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, realized that she wanted to be a nurse while watching the dedicated nurses care for her ailing mother. Solande has accumulated over 1,000 hours of volunteer service at hospitals and nursing homes while working full time and pursuing her BSN in Nursing.

"Making a difference in people's lives and putting a smile on their faces, no matter what the situation may be, is the dream I long for," said Louis. "I am greatly honored to have encountered those nurses who have unknowingly made a major impact on my life and decision to become a nurse. I will continue to pursue my dream and refuse to allow any hindrances."

Misty Blue Foster, an LVN candidate at Nursing Care Providers Vocational School, was raised in the California state foster care system after the loss of her mother, began working in healthcare while in high school, and eventually earned her CNA license. Misty Blue is currently pursuing the completion of an LVN program, with the ultimate goal of becoming a pediatric RN.

"I hope in the future, I can change the world little by little for those like me who grew up without a loving home, and felt there was no hope," said Foster. "I want to give love and hope to those not only from the foster care system, but also those sick from cancer, devastating acquired illnesses, terminal illnesses, and congenital disorders. I want to help educate others worldwide that life's circumstances don't determine who you are, or what you become. Destiny is determined by ones' choices, and what they do with the circumstances they face."

"Solande and Misty have both overcome tremendous obstacles to achieve their nursing career objectives and we are proud to play a small part in helping them reach their goals," said Gene S. Godick, CEO and co-owner of Tafford Uniforms. "There is an acute need for qualified nurses at all levels, and we are glad that we can help such highly qualified and motivated professionals enter this critically needed profession."

Tafford Uniforms anticipates awarding two (2) $1,000 scholarships twice per year on an ongoing basis. Students eligible to apply must be enrolled in an accredited nursing program towards an associate's (or LPN, LVN), bachelor's (BSN), or master's (MSN) degree in nursing. Tafford is currently accepting applications for the next round of scholarships to be awarded in June 2008.
