I have to keep telling myself that it’s ludicrous for a med student to buy cute scrub caps on Etsy (here, for example) for a three-month rotation. Still, as I resemble more and more like a cafeteria lady in a slightly more opaque form of hairnet day after day, I can’t help but gaze longingly at the adorable scrub caps that the nurses and some residents sport. They must be good luck too!
(BTW, almost all sellers of scrub caps on Etsy model their caps on mannequins. The one above is, believe it or not, the least freaky of the bunch.)

I am putting together my wishlist for dental school & came upon your blog. I am starting at UPenn this fall & moving to Philadelphia this summer. Your blog is really cute and insightful! I’ve subscribed. 🙂
Hi Yesle! First of all, congratulations on UPenn Dental! That’s fantastic! We have a few dental students in our class who are going on to do surgery and they’re all great people. Thank you so much for your kind comment and for subscribing–I’m very touched! I wish you the best of luck getting things in order in preparation and on your upcoming semester!
