A nurse's uniform, typically modern scrubs, are practical, comfortable, and easily washable garments designed for hygiene, infection control, and identification in healthcare settings. Scrubs provide a protective barrier against fluids and pathogens, are durable and breathable for long shifts, and contain pockets for essential tools. The uniform's uses include protecting both the nurse and the patient from germ spread, ensuring a professional appearance, and serving as a symbol of unity and identity within the healthcare team
