Last time, we took a look at Poppy Scrubs. Today, we asked some of our most-trusted nurses to try out a fresh set of Born-O Uniforms scrubs for us so that we could help you find the right scrubs for you. Below, you’ll find each of their reviews on a set of Borno-O Sweetheart Scrub Top and Ultimate Yoga Jogger Pants.

Born-O Nursing Scrubs Review

Jeri Ford, BSN, RN, CPN

Sweetheart V-Neck Scrub Top, XXL, Fruit Punch / Women’s Ultimate Yoga Jogger Pants, XXL, Fruit Punch

Scrub Feel

Rating: 4 stars

These scrubs feel wonderful! They were slightly stiff at first, but one wash made them more comfortable. The fabric is cool, not itchy, comfortable, and durable. The waistband was also soft and comfortable. I gave these scrubs 4 stars because although very comfortable, they aren’t quite as buttery smooth as some others.

Scrub Fit

Rating: 4 stars

As a lady with curves, I rarely find a pair of scrubs that fit me perfectly. These scrubs hug the booty well, and the chest well. They aren’t too tight or rigid. I rated them 4 stars because I do think there needs to be more stretch or room in the stomach and arms. They hugged slightly awkwardly around those areas. Given this, I still thought they were comfortable. 

Scrub Wear

Rating: 5 stars

These scrubs won the test of wear for a whole shift. I always sweat during morning rounds, but I do not think these made me any hotter than normal. Drawstrings are soft but still kept my pants up. They are perfectly functioning while walking fast, bending over, standing, sitting, and squatting. I loved the length and how perfectly tapered the jogger leg was. The pockets were wonderfully placed and perfect for me. I rated these scrubs 5 stars because I can’t find anything that I would improve on their durability and function! 

Overall Thoughts on Born-O Scrubs

Rating: 4 stars

I gave these scrubs an overall rating of 4 stars mostly because of the slightly awkward fit of the top. Other body types may not have an issue with this. Other than that, I loved the overall comfortability and fit of the pants. They also were very durable and easily worn during shifts. I got tons of compliments on the color. I am a pediatric nurse, so fun bright colors are always a win! For the price point, these scrubs are great. I would definitely order these again, with maybe a different top! Thank you Born-O Uniforms!

Scrub Feel

Rating: 4/5

The fabric is pretty soft and  comfortable against my skin while completing common tasks. No scratchy tag is also a huge plus!

Scrub Fit

Rating: 4/5

The bottoms fit me like a glove!  Definitely very forgiving in the hip area for those of us with wider hips.  The inseam is about 2-3 inches shorter than I usually like to wear but the tapered jogger style makes it look great.  The top was a bit too loose for me but I did order a size larger than I usually do so that is likely the reason why lol.

Scrub Wear

Rating: 4/5

The waistband is snug but does not dig into the skin and has a drawstring which I love since I am frequently bending down at work.  They are stretchy and have a lot of pockets for storage.  They did wrinkle a bit with continued wear but it wasn’t terrible. 

Overall Thoughts on Born-O Scrubs

Rating: 4

These scrubs are definitely worth a try, especially if you are on a budget and would like to support a Black-owned business.  The jogger pants are very cute and flattering and the neckline of the sweetheart top is as well.  The scrubs did wrinkle a bit while wearing but not anymore than others I’ve worn.  Overall, I would recommend these to a nurse friend to try.

Concluding Thoughts

While both Jerri and Ashley had good things to say about their sets of Borno-O Scrubs, the overall consensus was a solid 4/5 stars. The scrubs may fit a little too tightly in some areas, but overall, we find the Sweetheart V-Neck Scrub Top and Women’s Ultimate Yoga Jogger Pants to be Tried & Trusted!
