Let's be honest, your shift starts before you even step foot on the unit.

And what you wear can really set the tone for the entire day, and that is why I love figs.

Back in nursing school, I wore those standard boxy scrubs that felt like a scratchy paper bag.

But not anymore.

Figs are so much better.

They're flattering, they're super comfortable, and they're designed for people who actually work in health care.

Plus, they're antimicrobial to help keep you protected. They're durable enough for endless washes and stylish enough that you actually want to wear them.

If you're new to figs, I recommend starting with the Catarina top and the Cade pants.

The Catarina has a relaxed easy fit that's perfect for moving through a shift,

and the Cades cargo pockets keep all your go-to supplies within reach.

why I say it's common, because we talk about it commonly because we do so

many things to prevent deep vein thrombosis, right? We put sequential compression devices on patients.

We put compression stockings on patients. We encourage ankle pumps. We encourage ambulation and moving

around. We give a haphrine. We give a loocs, we do all of these things. But if you suspect

that your patient has a DVT, the physician is likely going to order some diagnostic tests and

look at some things. So let's talk about what those would be. So we're looking at first assessment.
