Nurse & Doctor Uniforms

I too miss the days when nurses wore all white uniforms, either A frame dresses, or pants suits, with white hosiery and white duty shoes with a cap from their nursing school. The cap told you if they were an R.N. (black stripe) and L.P.N. (gray stripe), or a student nurse (no stripe). Students also wore a light blue and white A frame uniform with a white vest. These student uniforms really turned me on.

Now they all wear scrubs and no caps. I understand why, but miss those old days. Many of todays' R.N.'s will have their scrubs tailored somewhat to taper at their waist and take the bagginess out of their backsides. I like that. I love most all of them, regardless of what they wear.

I dont like nurses in scrubs as they all look the same....you cant tell whos who anymore...plus the older uniforms looked more professional

Miss the white uniforms and starch caps and not old enough to remember in the hospitals...only time I remember was when I was a teenager in the 80's and the student nurses came in with the uniform and cap and I was having hernia surgery and thought I was in heaven:-). Understand why they wear the scrubs today and just wish a few weeks out of the year they would go back to uniform and cap to remember the older years of nursing!.

If it were up to me, I'd say the absolute Classic Nurse look in the way of uniforms and styles must have been in the 1940s-50s. Just love the way they look in illustrations and photos. I suppose I have subconscious memories of the 50s with vague recollections of school nurses in the public schools I went to or seeing nurses in hospitals back then.

I love the way nurses uniforms looked prior to then too, 1920s and before, but that is only from illustrations of course. There was something matronly about that era for some reason while the 50s and 60s nurses seem to be bright, cheerful, young and very sweet and friendly. Maybe I'm imagining and falsely reconstructing a Norman Rockwell virtual reality in my mind, but that is how the memories from those days remain.

Too bad I can't go back and check out how accurate my present day memories actually are ... 😃

It's all about comfort and practical this day as most nurses working in acute care work 12 hrs. Easier to throw scrubs in the washer/dryer and back on for the next shift.

I will agree that facilities that have specific color scrubs for different health care providers improves image, i.e. RNs in all one color. Detracts from the circus clown environment. A white lab cost over scrubs adds to the enhanced appearance.

This day, most facilities have name badges and titles in big letters and wearing your name badge so that it's visible makes sense.

Today's health care providers save lives and take critical patients, get them well and discharged. Competency is the most important factors along with caring.

Nurse Ratched was and will always be the original nurse of my wet dreams.

With her that's almost a death wish. .but i know what you mean. .I recall the part where she went to the aid of an inmate who'd topped himself . .as she knelt bending over Jack the lad pounced & proceeded to throttle the life out of her. .For a moment i thought he might pull her uniform up, roughly yank down her nurse panties & give her a good fucking & make the bitch really moan her miserable tight arse off

Loretta Swit as nurse Margaret of MASH fame could make my nuts rattle, as could Australia's Wendy Hughes in uniform who goes close to topping the lot in Wild Orchid & Poisoned

Colleen McCulloch's film An Indecent Obsession again depicts her as an unassuming but HOT nurse. .one scene has her chatting to the boys recovering from war wounds surrounded by large white enamelware bedpans. .now was she a killer E-nurse ?

I'm a bit biased as Wendy is a real spunk. .gee i miss her "body" of work

Thanks Aussie! Good info! Yeah, with Ratched the behavior was despicable but that uniform and that "look" - whoa!

Full points for bringing up Margret Houlihan. Funny, sweet and charming and yet could be the mistress of the dark if she wanted to!

How about Dixie McCall from emergency 51? Smoking hot Julie London in the finest of 70's garb.

I loved the British uniforms of the 50s and 60s: a coloured dress (different colour for different grades) starched white apron, cap and cuffs, with frilly cuffs for when the sleeves were rolled up, black seamed stockings and black shoes. A fob watch pinned to the apron bib, and a badge from the hospital at which she had qualified on the other side. The uniform should be highly starched, and so should the nurse.

These naval nurse uniforms strike me as being just about perfect.

When I was young and impressionable nurses wore white. Medical and nursing professionals have socielal "permission" to see the patient's body that other opposite sex persons do not. At the pediatrician's office, it was a nurse in white who would tell me to undress, take my vital signs and weigh me wearing just underwear, then watch as the doctor examined me. Hospitalized several times, it was a woman in white who'd do all of the care. I associate my fetishes and euphoric recall with nurses in white

What about some extra retro?

Way back in the early 50s (where did the time go) I was hospitalized with a ruptured appendix and after a near death experience, spent a number of weeks in hospital recovering. During this time I received numerous cleansing soapsuds enemas administered by no nonsense nurses wearing traditional starched white uniforms with white cap, nylons and shoes. Equipment they used to administer my strong retention soapsuds enemas were white enamel irrigator cans or funnels with attached orange tubing and rectal or colon tubes. This experience definitely contributed to my life long love of enemas. Just the thought of seeing a nurse in this type of outfit holding a full irrigator can overflowing with soapsuds and with a orange colon tube dangling from its spout gets my blood to boil.

Since my lifelong partner indulged me with my enema interest we developed a number of roleplaying scenarios revolving around enemas. Since a favorite scenario was hospital type enemas we obtained an authentic nurses uniform as was worn back in the 50s along with equipment typical of that period. This included a number of various white irrigator cans, funnels, orange colon tubes, basins, urinals, bedpans, etc. and set up a typical hospital room as would have existed back then.

What a turn on to have my white clad "nurse" appear and to hear her say "It's time for your cleansing soapsuds enemas. You're to strip and immediately get into your hospital bed so we can begin by first taking your rectal temperature. Next we'll proceed to your first soapsuds enema. You'll of course need to take all your enemas and hold them for the required retention periods."

A shame that traditional enemas have fell out of favor in todays hospitals....

I worked in a hospital in the 1970's and can confirm the nurses uniforms were far better. Each grade had a different colour and belt. They looked much smarter than modern day scrubs.

The sisters uniform of dark blue with black stockings or tights and black shoes was fabulous and displayed her position as the senior person.

What about this retro photo?

Generally most of the nurses I see wear scrubs or a smock over their pants. On occasion I have seen one wearing white pants or a light color pair of pants that accentuates their bottoms and one can see a panty outline. While that may catch my eye, I am sure I am catching their glance as I have been told to undress!

Growing up and working in a hospital many many years ago, I remember those classic starched white nurse's uniforms with the caps and white stockings. Those uniforms (and their associated required foundation undergarments) were often checked by supervisors. I also remember that their shoes squeaked when they walked down the hospital corridors in the evening when it was quiet because few if any visitors were present. Most of the nurses I have encountered in the past 25 years or so, both in hospitals and medical offices are dressed in scrubs (usually blue), although I have seen some gaily colored tops and slacks in pediatric offices. For me, each of those uniform choices has its charms.

Yes, retro uniforms are amazing...

Scrubs have taken over the uniform world. It's a shame.

I have seen several nurses (and one nursing assistant, for religious reasons) wear either a scrub dress or a scrub skirt. It's not quite the starched whites, but it's something!

The old days nurse uniforms were hot. Not so much with the green scrubs.

I wish the old white mid-thigh nurse uniforms would come back!

Scrubs have replaced the traditional nurse's uniforms in the same manner that compression shorts have replaced jockstraps for athletes.

I do miss the formality of the white uniform with starched hat. I also am realistic and understand that scrubs are infinitely more comfortable for the nurses, easier to launder, and simply more evolved to the task at hand. I also realize I am old-fashioned at my core and miss this formality.

I like when the nurses have white dress and stethoscope around their neck

Like the white dresses back in the 70 th en 80 th make a woman look like a woman!

Think we can all agree this is pretty much the penultimate standard for proper traditional nurse wear:

That said, a nice set of booty scrubs is about as good as you're going to find IRL these days. Picture related:

Nurses look great in the Blue Surgical Scrub Dresses in the Old 70's when they had to wear them in and of the Operatingroom in the early days when they look very professional with the scrub masks around the neck and Stethascopes around their neck and with all their make up on and looks very professional......

Maybe it would be better if you tried using a bit of punctuation and not saying "and" when it should be the end of a sentence? 😃

I have always liked nurses and doctors dress style of the 60's and 70's

Scrubs for both doctors and nurses. Doctors can wear a lab coat too. I do like nurses uniforms for Halloween, though. Lol.

I love to see a nurse wearing a proper nurses dress with black tights, but my question is, when did nurses start wearing a stethoscope as what is now almost part of the uniform ?
