Yeah, it’s not even like a hair net that would keep hair contained. But it would serve the purpose of knowing who the nurse was. Whenever I go to ER, I can’t tell which one is the nurse and which one is the doctor.
My mom was a nurse around the time where they wore those caps! She said the hospital she was working in at the time said they were carrying a lot of bacteria and dust and so they discontinued them.

Hard to imagine what purpose those caps served.

I really liked those caps. I wonder why they got rid of them.

I think they were cool and let a patient easily spot a nurse. What I read said they were phased out in the 80s for scrubs.

I read the same thing. I am not a fan of scrubs either. “I have to get ready for work. Where are my scrubs?” That just does not sound right.
