What is her job?

I went through this drill when my wife was a PT aide and there wasn't a solution that always worked.

What does she wear under the scrubs?

Scrubs are loose, but often thin enough to see through. 

An IWB like a crossbreed inside running tights or biking shorts works surprisingly well for a light rig.

Smartcarry works if you aren't running.  Well, maybe a woman may enjoy that...  (Off to the corner). 

Look for a user named limalife on youtube, she has some really good vids on CCW for women.

Thanks for the help folks, I knew I'd come to the right place.

LadyB. is an Emergency Clinic Veterinarian working graveyards only, she's not happy with the waistband carry as she's concerned about large dogs jumping up and last time I checked there wasn't enough room for a Kleenex in her butt pocket  :) (and not in the GOOD way!!) so a SmartCarry is probably out.

I'll get her to try a good ankle holster and a lightweight shoulder rig or 5.11 shirt holster.   'ppppppreciate the help!

I wear scrubs everyday.  I work in a dental office and tried about everything.  My last favorite was a belly band.  It worked well, but I ultimately went with a Maxpedition Versipack.  I really like this bag.  I get a lot of "man purse" comments but I don't care.  I don't like off body carry very much but I remove my pack and put it in my office while working but it is close by.  Can't really carry into the rooms with patients.  Anyway, I really like it a lot and even carry it now when on the weekends in regular clothes.  Look into a safepacker or versipack.  Works great for me!

I think the ankle carry is the best solution.  I can't wear scrubs because my butt left me sometime ago, and I most assuredly need a belt to keep my pants up.

I'm not sure what kind of work your wife does; but, if restraining violent/delirious patients is a possibility, just about any on-body carry method has a good risk of exposing the weapon and/or allowing the patient access to it...not a good situation (and one reason I can't carry in my line of work).

I'll second Wheelgun Dunn's suggestion for some type of off-body carry....esp. one that can be placed in a secured area while at work (locked locker, etc). Although the fanny pack carry has been overdone, it's still pretty popular in the health-care field...and there are still plenty of makers (I like Uncle Mike's).  You can even get them in different colors...perhaps one to match her scrubs and be less obvious.
