I LOVED my cap. But I quit wearing one when everyone else did, and wouldn't go back to it now--too impractical. Get a visual of it catching fire under a radiant warmer-wouldn't that be fun!!

But I am very sentimental, and still have it upstairs in my closet. Sometimes for the Nurse Day dinner, they have been used as a nostalgic centerpiece. Don't worry, we washed them!

I have an idea! Nurses should wear nurses caps at graduation only. Like, I'd love to have a nurses cap, but I don't think I would wear with exception to graduation. Plus, I don't look good in caps or hats of anykind.

I once read that in an emergency people follow someone in a hat...they seem to convey authority.....but military type would be cool.....something special as a sign of respect....not the ones that always fell off and got caught!

This is what I say to almost everyone who has something rude to say to me...

"Its okay if you are angry. I have a big heart and bigger shoulders. Go ahead and get mad. Cry if you want. I AM A FRIEND!"

If they go back to hats can I wear my skull cap that I use while riding my Harley? I have one that is an American Flag motiff with eagle heads on it and the other is black with skull and crossedbones with barb wire motiff. Very stylish when I am wearing my streling silver skull earring.......

I wore my LPN cap in the 70's,never wore my RN cap to work. I had to work too hard to keep it on,it was always falling off and so hard to keep clean.Got my RN in 85 and soon went to work in Psych and we wore street clothing,it was felt too stressful for pt to see us in white!Now wear scrubs,have not even worn a white dress uniform since the early 80's! Wow,I am old!
