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.
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.

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.

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.
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 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.
