About Us

Hi, and welcome to Shiftchange and Co! I'm a registered nurse, and I started this shop for one simple reason: if you're going to wear the same scrub cap for a 12-hour shift, it might as well make you smile.

Made by a nurse, for the people who work in scrubs

Scrub caps are one of the few parts of a healthcare uniform where you can still show some personality. As a nurse, I know what actually matters on a long shift: a cap that stays put, doesn't give you a headache, works with long or thick hair, and gets a laugh from a patient or coworker now and then.

That's what every Shiftchange and Co design is built around, from Christmas and Halloween prints to specialty prints for L&D, NICU, dental and lab teams, bookish prints and foodie prints.

Handmade in Oakville, Ontario

Shiftchange and Co is a small, solo-run Canadian business. There's no factory and no warehouse of pre-made stock: every scrub cap is cut and sewn to order in small batches. That means you choose your style (Euro, Euro Ponytail or Classic Tie Back) and whether you'd like a satin lining, and your cap is made for your order. Read more about how every cap is made.

Started on Etsy

Shiftchange and Co began as an Etsy shop, and the kind notes from nurses, doctors and healthcare teams there are some of my favourite things. You can read them on our reviews page.

More than scrub caps

Alongside caps, you'll find twist headbands, funny nurse stickers and badge reels and wristlets, plus gift guides for nurses, new grads and nursing students.

Have a question or an idea for a custom print? Get in touch. A lot of what's in the shop started as exactly that kind of request.
