18 Fun and Creative Ways to Style Your Halloween Scrubs

What better way to get everyone excited than by embracing Halloween scrubs? With the weather cool and crisp, Ol' Hallows eve is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is so thin that just for this one night, the ghosts, goblins, and monsters manage to walk amongst us. So naturally, even medical facilities love to celebrate it.

Celebrating Halloween with all its costumes and candy is a way to spread some spooky cheer in the depressing and sad hallways of medical facilities. Halloween doesn't just excite children, but even the adults and the elderly seem to enjoy all the different costumes, candies and colors. But even though medical facilities celebrate Halloween they have to do it within the rules and regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and as such the staff is expected to wear their medical uniforms. This means that the doctors have to wear their lab coats over their medical scrubs, whereas the nurses have to wear their medical uniforms. This is why we have complied a list of fantastically fun costumes for Halloween that doctors and nurses can make out of their medical scrubs. These costumes are OSHA friendly, affordable, practical and so amazing that patients and visitors alike will surely get impressed.

The Costumes

Super Nurse

With children and adults alike enjoying DC and Marvel super heroes, our fist costume is dedicated to the real life heroes working in the healthcare industry. All you need is solid colored medical scrubs paired with a red cape and matching eye mask to conceal your identity. You can also print and stick your own superhero emblem in the front and you're ready to go save lives.

Black Cat

As a classic Halloween costume, a black cat costume is easy to create. All you need are black scrubs paired with black cat ears hairband and a whiskers face mask.

After wearing these and you are ready to strut like a medical grade ferocious feline up and down the hallways.

Skeleton

No Halloween is complete without a few skeletons running round. Even medical facilities should keep the dusty skeletons in the anatomy room on their toes by giving them competition. A skeleton costume does just that! All you need is black medical scrubs, white felt and a dusted copy of your anatomy book. Copy the shapes of organs on the felt and cut them out to stick on your medical scrubs with fabric glue or tape. Be cautious though and keep it simple to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions during your shift, but definitely don't forget to paint a mandible on your face to complete the boney look.

Angel

Since nurses are angels on earth in disguise, technically this costume is them disclosing their real identity. But because OSHA would not approve of the nurses spreading their wings to their original size, nurses would have to settle with a pair of store bought wings and a halo headband. They can wear these items over their regular medical scrubs and continue caring for the patients day and night.

Halloween Pumpkin

Halloween is pumpkin season. It is everywhere; on our front porch, in our coffee, in our pies and our seasonal décor, so why not incorporate pumpkins in our Halloween costume as well. All you need are orange scrubs, orange tutu (for the extra flare) and a green hair bow for a stem.

Once you deck out in this orange goodness, you'll give your neighborhoods regular jack-o-lantern costume a run for its money.

Unicorn

Nothing raises hopes and cheers up sick children better than believing in magic. And no creatures has stronger magic than a unicorn, so just for one night why not turn your regular medical scrubs into a most magical mystical creature and spread some much needed joy for children and adults alike. All you need white medical scrubs, white cat ear headband that has a colorful cone glued on it for a horn and a colorful horse tail to stick on the back.

Once your transformation into a unicorn is complete you can gallop down hallways spreading the magic.

M&M

Everyone loves M&Ms and Halloween is the perfect time to represent your love by dressing up as your favorite M&M. All you will need is black medical scrub bottoms, medical scrub top the shade of your favorite M&M, a tutu (if you want to feel pretty) and a printed M&M logo.

Combine all these ingredients and we know you'll definitely look like delicious life-sized candy.

Minions

Working on Halloween doesn't have to be despicable, you can still make it fun by dressing up like a beloved minion. All you will need is blue medical scrub bottoms, yellow scrub top, suspenders and a yellow beanie with your choice of 1 or 2 eyes stuck on it.

Once you are all dressed up I doubt that even Gru would be able to recognize you.

Snow White

Just as Snow White had the 7 dwarves, nurses are also responsible for the wellbeing of many patients under their care and even though within the hospital nurses can't sing to the animals, they can still style their medical scrubs like Snow and try to summon the help from their co-workers they most definitely need. All they would need to assemble this look is a pair of yellow medical scrub bottoms, a blue medical scrub top and red hair bow.

Strawberry

Mickey/Minnie Mouse

Dressing up as the world's most famous mice duo is very easy. All that is needed is black medical scrub set, a black headband with mouse ears and yellow shoes.

Gluing a red and white polka dotted bow on your mouse ear headband would simply complete your Minnie look.

Super Hero

Since people in the medical profession are already heroes they don't have to do much for Halloween. Depending on which fictional hero these real life heroes want to portray they just need to wear black orblue scrubs along with a superhero symbol either printed and pasted on the front of the medical scrub top or they could simply wear a T-shirt of that logo.

Pepto Bismol

What could be an appropriate costume for people in the medical profession than becoming a bottle of Pepto Bismol for Halloween? The pinkest medical scrub set along with the bottle label printed and pasted on the front of the medical scrub top is all you need to wear in order to soothe the candy induces jitters during the night shift on Ol' Hallows Eve.
