A protective garment designed to be worn by the doctor, nurse, and others in the operating room. The garment was originally a gown. Scrubs now include the shirt and pants worn by those who scrub in for surgery. The wearing of scrubs extends outside surgery in some hospitals and clinics.

Most nurses in today's society are required to wear scrubs to work. Scrubs are usually sold as tops and long pants that are made out of thin, slick material. This material can be easily cleaned, and it flecks off most liquids and contaminants.

Scrubs are often the uniform of surgeons, nurses, and physicians who conduct or assist in operations or other patient care services. While they come in different colors, scrubs are most known for being blue or green among the medical field.

Doctors and nurses work together to provide care for patients, and their collaboration is essential for ensuring quality care. In public hospitals, the doctor-nurse relationship is particularly important. Public hospitals are often understaffed, and doctors and nurses must work closely together to manage their workload. They must also be able to communicate effectively and trust each other to provide the best possible care for their patients.

There are a number of factors that can contribute to a strong doctor-nurse relationship. One important factor is mutual respect. Doctors and nurses must respect each other’s roles and expertise. They must also be willing to listen to each other and work together to find solutions to problems. In many cases, senior nurses serve as mentors for junior doctors during their formative years, sharing their years of experience in patient care.
