My addition "However, student nurses are more likely to wear practical and durable "scrubs", eschewing the old-fashioned cap and ruffles these days" was deleted.

Not sure who did it, or why. Explanations, theories?

I don't know; look in the article history. If you reinforce your addition with a reference, it most likely will resist deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rintrah (talkcontribs) 17:48, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Shouldn't this page be deleted? What exactly does it add?! --John24601 07:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It is useful to know how the whites developed historically.Andering J. REDDSON (talk) 06:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)Andering J. REDDSON

Don't delete it! I have updated the page with links and a short history of nursing uniforms. I'm from the Netherlands and Engelish is my second language, so their could be any errors in grammar or words. (I'm active on the dutch wikipedia) Cheers! Oesermaatra0069


I don't feel that this article accurately describes Nursing attire - it gives a description of old, and out of date dress. Being a male student nurse, I do not wear a cap, pinny etc and no one has done so since the 1980's! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.16.128 (talk) 18:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Although the traditional nursing whites is rarely, if ever, worn outside of "dress enviroments" (most of questionable medical nessesity), it is useful to know how the whites developed historically. For example, the militry's Female Combination Cover devloped from the nurse's cap, linking current ladies in uniform to the nun's of old- Even if the lady in question is, say, an inftantryman in Iraq, or a bomber pilot over Afghanistan.Andering J.

I have modified the page and added more information, hopefully now you will find it more useful and informative. --DR —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.64.34.255 (talk) 17:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


As soon as my "probationary period" of four days is up, I will add pics of the mentioned Female Combo Covers. I have an army enlisted and naval officcer's combo covers litterally waiting in the wings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andering J. REDDSON (talkcontribs) 05:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added the pics now, however it would be better if they were side-by-side, ratehr one on top of the other as they are now; I don't know how to do it correctly. It would be more respectful to show them side-by-side.Andering J. REDDSON (talk) 06:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)AJ REDDSON
