Nurse & Doctor Uniforms

Here in 'Murica I don't ever remember nurses in black tights (except at happy hour, with a cocktail dress, back when women didn't wear pajama pants anywhere but the bedroom alone with their cats). The 1960s and well into the 1970s they wore the classic starched white dress, white cap, white nylons, and those strange white nurse shoes (thick sole, look comfy, but essentially ugly compared to heels or even standard ballerina flats). They were actually pretty hot, especially compared to the way they appear now, which is like Pepe the Frog in drag with those shapeless, unappealing scrubs. But they knew that already...

Does anyone realize that the design of the cap and I believe the colour of the band signified the school of nursing and the level?

Student nurses wore plain white caps, the black band signified you graduated ifvthe s hook added that touch. Each school had its own cap design. A capping ceremony was sometimes held, esp at diploma schools at the end of the first year when students started their clinical rotations Some looked better than others, fit better etc. wearing the cap in the 70s and before was more of a be proud of your school thing and the fact that you were the RN or LPN. Once the 80s hit the cap became less significant as the role of the RN changed, the cap was worn less. Some facilities required the cap for fe RNs, but that to went by the way side.

Each school has a pin that could be worn with the uniform which also was an unique design. I wore mine throughout my career on my lab coat. I rarely see anyone doing that today.

The role of the RN in todays health care setting has changed. 12 hours shifts, scrubs, acutely ill patients in an ICU, ED or Ned surg setting changed the role of the nurse completely..

My mom was a nurse in the 50's and 60's and I remember very young watching her get dressed in stockings with garters, white dress and a cute white cap on top. I think she might have had something on the cap like a pin with her college on it. She passed away a few years ago and my nurse niece ended up with her glass syringe that she reused and sharpened with a stone. Interesting times.

When I started my training in 1990 , female student nurses and qualified nurses still wore nursing caps made from paper . Staff nurses had a thick blue line on the white cap while student had either 1 , 2 or 3 depending on their year , 1 for first years , 2 for 2nd years and 3 for 3rd years. A few months into our training caps were discontinued.

Males student nurses wore black trousers and a white tunic with epaulettes with 1, 2 or 3 bands while female students wore this blue chequered nylon dress. Male staff nurses wore the same outfit , but had a thick blue strip on their epaulettes.

Male charge nurses had a blue epaulettes while sisters had a dark blue dress. Female nurses also had a belt that was white for students , blue for staff nurses and dark blue for sisters. These had a silver buckle with various deigns raging from traditional to new designs , I vividly remember girls in my set actively trying to source these and then excitedly showing them off .

As said we were all given a silver badge from our school of nursing upon graduation , I still have mine but dont wear it as most of my career I have worn scrubs.

Nurses ( female ) full uniform, white clogish type shoes, traditional hat.

I like scrubs, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting a lab coat at some point in the future.

Drgiggles - me too. The blue dress with the white pinny and the little cap, seamed stockings. I rather like my nurses quite upper class and very firm with their patients.

I love scrubs, especially when my wife wears her pink ones. The different colors are such a turn on. I also like when she wears her short lab coat over her scrubs, it fits nicely around her curves.

Definitely a nursing uniform, very appearance of a female changes when wearing such.

When playing doctor, I like to dress with slacks, shirt and tie, and white coat. When a patient, a traditional white nurse’s uniform can’t be beat.

Authentic scrubs and sometimes a white lab coat ???

Scrubs and printed ones less scary for all. They have so many cute printed scrubs.

It depends on the moment, when my role is that of a doctor who is going to consult a patient, I usually wear street clothes over which I put on a doctor's lab coat.

If I am a doctor who is going to do an invasive test on the patient, I usually wear scrubs, either white, blue or green, depending a bit on the context, and sometimes I put the lab coat on top.

If the context is an operating room, always the green scrubs on which I will put some type of operating room gown, in addition to the rest of the paraphernalia that someone in the operating room should wear.

All the different elements make the situations in which I want to have my patients more credible.

For female nurses I like the class uniform with the hat. I have a doctor's lab coat and I usually wear a suit with it. I have all kinds of Scrubs.

For me scrubs or nurse's uniform i love it is very pretty for nurse

White coat for Doc - particularly older gentleman.

Scrubs for doctors and nurses. Not sure why they have that affect, but scrubs definitely gives off a particular vibe. It has to be the signal that if someone is wearing scrubs, then my body will be explored. The occasional lab coat is fine as well to mix in.

Scrubs with bouffant cap, mask and gloves.

50s or 60s type dress with apron

It should go back to how it was when medical care was a serious profession and not the drive-through window it is today. Doctors should be men, white labcoats, stethoscope around the neck and well-dressed. Nurses should be women with the white uniforms, hats and stockings. Uniforms are NOT degrading - they should be a symbol of pride in what one does.

I am fine with more casual dress and first names with doctors - male or female. Now if I see one in a starched white coat - I think “who are they trying to impress?” Nurses don't have to be female, but if they are - I think they look best in scrubs!

Female docs and nurses look best in step-in scrub dress or scrub pants and short sleeve v-neck top. For males - pants and tops.

I use a white lab coat, it helps me in roleplaying establishing the authority the doctor should have.

In play (or fantasy), I like male docs and male nurses in scrubs - forearms exposed, of course ☺️

For me it's the 1950's to 1970's white nurses dresses. I'm not a big fan of scrubs (while I do understand the appeal), but they just aren't as sexy as the older white ones.

Elaine (who does have one stashed here someplace just in case somebody needs a naughty nurse)

Green or blue scrubs and a stethoscope draped around his neck!

Tight fitting doctors scrubs, without a lab coat.

Especially when the scrubs fit tightly over the doctors ass. 😉

You can’t beat the look of a mature male Dr in a white coat. Scrubs look good too though.
