Nurse uniforms are called "scrubs" because they were originally designed for use in a "scrubbed" or sterile environment, such as an operating room. The term "scrubs" is derived from the process of scrubbing in, which involves thorough handwashing and donning clean attire to maintain a sterile environment. Over time, the use of scrubs expanded beyond operating rooms to become the standard uniform for healthcare professionals in various settings.
