Scrub Uniform

The SAC nursing program utilized Cherokee or WonderWink scrubs as our uniform. We have a vendor offering special pricing for SAC students or you may choose to purchase it on your own. If you decide to purchase on your own, please ensure that they meet the specifications outlined here. 

Patches

Patches may be purchased from the Nursing Office (Health Sciences Office - HS 101). They must be sewn on the left sleeve, one inch below the seam. To prevent the patch from fading, it is recommended to soak the patch in 1 cup of water & 1 cup of vinegar for about 10 minutes  and then let air dry before sewing.
