ManyMoose, And probably wear a starched and/or frilly white cap too! <g> How well I remember those days!

When I worked at a large teaching hospital in the Midwest in the 1960s, the nursing students were required to live in a dormitory, had to observe rigid curfews, and could not marry while still in nursing school.

At the last hospital I worked in, most of the nurses wore outfits that looked a lot like children's pajamas. Their footwear usually consisted of clogs or running shoes, with ankle socks rather than stockings. Hardly any wore white. The starched and/or frilly white caps got tossed decades ago.

WRT the caps, however, there has been some empiric evidence that those caps might be a contributing factor in patient infections. - Holly
