9. Going Back To Wearing Whites and The Cap!

   Meds Queen replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

   I think the only reason I would wear a white cap again is for the recognition factor. We all (housekeeping, STNA's, dietary) all seem to flow together. I wear white pants occasionally with a printed top. But wearing all white is just a memory now....
