Spotlight: Nursing Graduation Dresses 11 May 12 12:37 PM postedby Lauren Kamath
As Nurses Week comes to an end, the focus shifts to welcoming a new generation of nurses into the field. The perfect gift for nursing students, nursing graduation dresses pay homage to the nurse leaders of World War II who helped shape the values that guide the profession today.

Check out these timeless nursing graduation dresses:

Barco Women's 2-Pocket Button-Front Scrub Dress
Barco gave this classic nursing uniform a modern makeover with a pleated front and empire waist. A form-fitting cut flatters slender figures, although we recommend purchasing a size larger than usual if you prefer a more relaxed fit. The cotton/polyester blend fabric is durable and easy to wash, while the short sleeves keep newly minted nurses cool during graduation festivities.



Barco Women's ¾ Sleeve Double-Breasted Scrub Dress
Smart and professional, this double-breasted scrub dress makes all the right first impressions! The three-quarter sleeves add a modern flare, while two side pockets store newly minted nurses' workday essentials. Delicate floral embroidery softens the entire look. This nursing graduation dress is perfect for students who like to look sophisticated yet feminine.



White Cross Women's Two Pocket Scrub Dress
One of our most popular nursing graduation dresses, White Cross's two-pocket scrub dress features a mock-wrap neckline and traditional, classic fit. But don't take our word for it! Check out these fantastic reviews from ADVANCE shoppers:

"This dress is perfect for my pinning! It does run a bit on the larger side but I am very happy with the dress." - Kimberly Blake, Massachusetts

"This dress is great! Got it to wear for graduation. If anyone wants a scrub dress this is the first one to look at. Love the style and how it fits!" Angel Espinoza, Culpeper, Virgina

Alegria by PG Lite "Donna" "Hearts" Professional Clog
"I could not be happier with my recent purchase of Alegria "Donn" "Hearts" Professional Clog from Advance Healthcare Shop. The clog was on sale and the color I was looking for, but this was my first Alegria clog. I received the shoes in record time, put them on and the compliments keep coming. Plus I had no breaking in time and wear the clogs almost every day to the office. These Alegria clogs are true to size, and most comfortable for someone who is on their feet most of the day. I have plantar fasciatis and I have no pain or discomfort in these clogs. I have passed on your website to many who have asked where I purchased these beautiful clogs." - Minna Prince, Piedmont Hospital Lab, Atlanta, GA



Rampage Women's Satin Trim Scrub Top with Metallic Print
"I have this shirt in white as well, I love it! I get more compliments on these scrub tops than any other.

Dickies Women's 32" Three-Pocket Basic Lab Coat
"The design of the lab coat is nice. I like the multiple pockets. However, I would like for the fabric to be more durable. The fabric is thin and see through. Overall, this is coat is nice and one that I will wear frequently." - Amy Duncan



Alegria by PG Lite "Donna" T-Strap Clog
"I absolutely LOVE these shoes! As a matter of fact, I have two pair. They are easy to keep clean and extremely comfortable. I have had a few podiatry surgeries and I can honestly say that I have no foot pain when I am wearing the Alegria shoes. I will buy more in the future, however they also last forever!" - Anjanette King, Acute Kids Urgent Care



Cherokee Women's Utility Scrub Pants
"I like this product,and this was a repeat order. They are very comfortable and have large pockets." - Deborah Blinkhorn, RN, Hartford, CT
 


Stainless Steel Bandage Scissors
"Great deal, great product. Gave these wonderful scissors to my wound vac nurses and they loved them." - Caroline Lowell, West Suburban Medical Center, Nursing, Orland Park, IL

 

Veggies Footwear Women's "Pineapple III" Clog
"I got these due to an issue with falling arches and platarficitis. My niece who works Patient Access ED suggested these shoes. They have worked TREMENDOUSLY!" - Kathry LaBrosse, Nearterm Corporation, Administrative Assistant, Houston, TX



Dansko "Professional" Tooled Leather Clog
"I am a physical therapist and on my feet all day long. I love my Danskos not only at work, but even when I'm off. They're so comfortable and they look good too. I get lots of compliments." - Sigi Wolborsky

4 Great Deals for 2012 28 December 11 04:01 PM postedby Lauren Meade Kamath
Santa has made his rounds. Your favorite holiday music has been shelved for another year, and Christmas lights are starting to come down in yards across the country. The holidays are officially over.

But fret not. I like to chase away the post-holiday blues by thinking about all the exciting opportunities the New Year will bring. That's why New Year's resolutions are so much fun (even if you can't stick with them.) They give you hope during the dreariest months of the year.

In 2012, my New Year's resolution is to save money. I'm taking the train to work, ordering take-out less and perusing the sale racks at my favorite stores.

If saving money is part of your goals for 2012, you're in luck. This week, ADVANCE is running a year-end clearance sale you can't miss. Scrub tops are selling for less than $4, and Dansko clogs are almost half off. Check out these amazing deals:

Dickies "Everyday" Unisex V-Neck Top
Only in our incredible clearance sale can you get high-quality scrub tops for just $3.73. Dickies "Everyday" scrub top features a stylish v-neck and a chest pocket to store your ID, pens and other essentials. The Everyday scrubs come in 33 vibrant colors, including six shades of blue, white, pink and green. They'll fit into just about every organization's dress code. Customer reviewer Kelly Segars, of Jacksonville, FL, says: "These scrub sets are perfect. They're durable, fit well, and are priced right! I will definitely be buying more of these!"



Thera-Firm Light Support Men's Compression Trouser Socks
Gradient compression socks improve circulation and prevent swelling during long days on your feet. Thera-Firm compression trouser socks are made with a soft cotton/microfiber blend. The compression gradient is 10-15 mmHg, which offers gentle support throughout the day to prevent varicose veins and energize tired legs. On clearance for $5.99, the socks come in your choice of brown, navy or black. At that price, you can buy one sock for each day of the week!



Dansko Unisex "Professional" Patent Leather Clog
Dansko's best-selling clog is now 46% off! The clog molds to your foot's natural contour to ease pressure when standing for long hours. The clog also features generous padding and a shock-absorbing outsole. The antimicrobial sock liner absorbs and evaporates perspiration while the anti-skid tread prevents slips and falls. The clog normally sells for $119.99, but it's on sale for $65 during our incredible year-end clearance event.



Breast Cancer Awareness Littmann® Classic II S.E. Stethoscope
Raise awareness about this important cause all year long with Littmann's pink stethoscope. Plus, the stethoscope is made with the superior craftmanship that's synonymous with the Littmann brand. The dual-frequency tunable diaphragm allows you to listen to high and low frequency sounds by alternating pressure on the stainless steel chest piece. The stethoscope features a three-year warranty, and a portion of the net proceeds will be donated to breast cancer research and patient care. The stethoscope originally sells for $109.99, but you can get it for $59.98 during our sale - that's a whopping 45% off the list price!

Colorful scrub tops are the perfect way to show your spirit at work, and they make great holiday gifts for supervisors and colleagues.

Our snowflake scrub tops feature elegant patterns that can be worn all winter long. They're festive during the holidays without being over the top. (You want to look professional - not like you're going to an ugly holiday sweater party!)

White Cross Women's Scrub Top with "Nordic Flake" Print
This jewel-necked top is a contemporary take on traditional Nordic snowflake patterns. The geometric red snowflakes against a black backdrop make a bold statement, while gray accents soften the look. Shirring along the sleeve edges and front demonstrate White Cross's high quality craftsmanship. This snowflake scrub top also features side vents and two front patch pockets, so it's as practical as it is stylish. 



White Cross Women's Empire Waist Scrub Top with "Crystal Ice" Print
Picture walking through a peaceful winter wonderland as the sun sets, casting a sea of pink across the sky. That's the vision that comes to mind when I look at this lovely top. Intricate silver snowflakes dance across the fabric while large pink dots offer a splash of color. The empire waist creates an hourglass silhouette for a feminine yet professional look. The silver trim along the sleeves and empire waist finish off the look. This snowflake scrub top appeals to the daydreamer in all of us! 



Peaches Women's "Caroline" "Winter Waddles" Glitter Scrub Top
When it comes to finding stylish scrub tops, you can never go wrong with Peaches. The "Winter Waddles" top is perfect for those who work with pediatric patients as well as adults who are young at heart. The peasant-style top features clever penguins outfitted in adorable little scarves and hats. The checkered backdrop features delicate snowflakes and glittery accents.

Noble Gems Glass Caduceus Ornament
This lovely ornament celebrates the dedication, sacrifice and commitment that healthcare professionals make year round. Crafted from gold glass in the shape of a Caduceus staff, the ornament makes the perfect gift for physicians, nurses, physician assistants as well as students aspiring to enter these fields.



Koi Women's "Kimberly" Scrub Top with "Aspen" Print
Want to show your holiday spirit without donning cheesy snowman or Rudolf prints? Koi's "Aspen" print is a sophisticated way to showcase your holiday cheer. The chic black-and-white snowflake pattern is accented with purple contrast along the sleeves, waist and center. An elasticized back creates a cinched waist for an enhanced hourglass figure. The top also features two patch pockets, side splits and a split v-neckline. Koi's "Aspen" print makes a great self gift, but you didn't hear that from me!
