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

Turban Durbin exposed. LOL .......................................................... (Durbin supported military action against Iraq under Clinton) Dick Durbin Press Release ^ \| December 17, 1998 \| Dick Durbin web.archive.org For Immediate Release Contact: Melissa Merz (202) 224-7028 December 17, 1998 DURBIN STATEMENT ON MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAQ I fully support President Clinton and our national security team's decision to take swift action against Saddam Hussein. The attack against this dictator should come as no surprise. The record clearly shows that he has harassed American and United Nations inspectors, ordered the destruction of important documents in anticipation of inspections and hampered the ability of inspectors to carry out their mission. His defiant protection of his weapons of mass destruction cannot go unanswered. The mission has bipartisan support, including U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee; U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN); and U.S. Sen. John Warner (R-VA), incoming Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. I call on those who question the motives of the president and his national security advisors to join with the rest of America in presenting a united front to our enemies abroad. The men and women who are risking their lives in defense of our national and global security deserve nothing less.
