Scrubs: Where and When to Buy

National Nurses Week runs May 6 to 12 every year. The American Nurses Association set those as permanent dates rather than a floating week, which is why brands can plan a sale around them and do. In 2026 FIGS discounted 20% with no code and no ID check, which is more than its student rate and available to anyone. Jaanuu went to 25% sitewide for the same seven days. allheart ran up to 20%. Compare that with what is actually available today, on a holiday weekend: 20% at one multi-brand retailer with a code, 15% at a shoe shop, and nothing at all sitewide from FIGS. If your scrubs can last until spring, they should. ^{12 13 1 5}

Three of the sellers here run permanent verification discounts, and they are worth roughly what a good sale is worth. FIGS gives 15% to students and 15% to military, both handled through ID.me at checkout rather than a code you have to find. Uniform Advantage runs student verification through the same service at 15%. Jaanuu advertises 15% for students. The practical consequence is that a nursing student almost never needs to wait for a sale, and should check whether the discount stacks before assuming a promotional code is the better deal. None of these sites says that it does. ^{2 3 1 6}

This is the expensive mistake in this category. FIGS takes returns within 30 days for a refund and gives US customers 60 days for store credit, but states that embroidered items are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. allheart excludes personalised items from its free returns. Most scrubs retailers offer to put your name or your unit on the chest at the point of sale, which is precisely the moment you have not yet worn the garment for a twelve-hour shift. Order plain, wear it, confirm the fit, then buy the embroidered ones. ^{4 7}

Cherokee sells Cherokee, and so do allheart and Uniform Advantage. On the day we looked, buying direct from Cherokee meant a $79 free-shipping threshold and no code, while Uniform Advantage carried the same brand with a 20% sitewide code running. Brand-direct wins on range: you get every colour rather than whatever the reseller stocked, which matters if your unit mandates a specific one. It does not reliably win on price. Check the style number in both places. ^{8 7 1}

The thresholds are not the same and the difference is large relative to what scrubs cost. FIGS and Jaanuu ship free over $50 and take free returns. allheart and Cherokee both set theirs at $79. Noel Asmar, a spa-uniform brand with a medical scrubs line, sets it at $99. If you are replacing one worn-out top rather than buying a full set, the site with the lowest sticker price can easily lose to the site with the lower threshold. ^{5 6 7 8 11}

Most scrubs guides stop at the clothes. Hospital dress codes usually specify slip resistance rather than a brand, and scrubs retailers price nursing clogs like fashion. Maven Safety Shoes sells slip-resistant work shoes and boots and is running 15% off sitewide with the code LABOR15. It is a safety-footwear shop rather than a healthcare brand, so read your own dress code before buying a work boot. But if the requirement is slip resistance and a closed toe, this is the cheaper aisle. ¹⁰

Uniform Advantage for most people, because it carries several brands, runs a 20% code today, verifies students at 15%, and its clearance goes to prints under $10. Buy FIGS or Jaanuu direct when you want that particular cut and fabric rather than the lowest price. ^{1 5 6}

Nurses Week, May 6 to 12, and those dates never move. In 2026 that meant 20% off at FIGS with no code required and 25% sitewide at Jaanuu. Labor Day and other holiday weekends produce smaller, patchier discounts, as this one has. ^{12 13 1 6}

Three. THANKS20 gives 20% off at Uniform Advantage and is printed on their own site. LABOR15 gives 15% off at Maven Safety Shoes, also on their site. UWSAVE20 gives 20% at Uniforms World, but that one comes from our affiliate data and is not published anywhere you can check. FIGS and Jaanuu apply their discounts without a code. ^{1 10 5 6}

Usually more than the sale. FIGS and Jaanuu both give students 15% year-round, and Uniform Advantage gives 15% through ID.me. It is a permanent rate rather than a window, so a nursing student rarely needs to wait. Do not assume it stacks with a promo code, because none of these sites says it does. ^{2 1 6}

Usually, until you personalise them. FIGS gives 30 days for a refund and 60 days for store credit in the US, but embroidered items are final sale. allheart refunds within 30 days of receipt and excludes personalised and final-sale items from free returns. Buy plain first, work a shift, then embroider. ^{4 7}

We have nothing useful to tell you. None of these sellers runs a store credit card or a published card-linked rebate, and we are not going to guess what your existing card pays on apparel. If a scrubs retailer offers you a card at checkout, it is not on this page because we could not find one to check.

No. Nothing on this page earns us a commission. We do have affiliate relationships with two of the sellers listed, Uniforms World and Maven Safety Shoes, but we have not built store pages for either, so no link here pays us and there is no cashback for you to claim.
