Can petite nurses wear medical scrubs without hemming?

Short answer. Sometimes. The cuff or flare has to hit the shoe, not the floor. If the rise is right and the hem is a train, hem it. Do not size down in the waist to fake a shorter pant.

Joggers vs flare

A jogger cuff is more forgiving. Fashion Flare needs the flare to start at the right point. Check the hem before clinicals.

A 5’2″ rule of thumb

The pant should kiss the shoe with a slight break, not stack. Stack is not extra fabric you might grow into.
