What is the wardrobe for a nurse?

Through the 1980s, nurses wore:

  1. completely white uniform, either dress, skirt and top or slacks and top
  2. female nurses wore white hosiery (knee high with slacks; pantyhose with dresses/skirts)
  3. white nursing cap
  4. white nursing shoes

Nurses in pediatrics wore scrubs with kid-friendly printed scrub top.


Today, nurses wear colored "scrubs", often with a scrub top that has some happy or whimsical print on it. No nurses wear their nursing caps now.


Many nurses in administrative roles wear dress clothes and shoes (not white; not scrubs).
