White uniform dresses

Does anyone ever wear the old style white uniform dress these days? I will be working in a LTC and rehab facility. I am wondering if wearing the old uniform instead of scrubs would bring a smile to the faces of the older clients. Nostalgia and all that? I kind of miss seeing nurses in these uniforms with the white hosiery and white shoes and white cap on their head. I see dresses in some of the scrub catalogs and am wondering if anyone wears them.

I think they are just not practitcal as we end up crawing on the floor, squating, crawing on beds......and I am in psych so for me totally not practical. Straddling a patient on the floor in a dress!! LOL that would not be pretty! In LTC maybe you could get away with it. I worked with a woman on a medical floor at the hospital, a little older, and she wore then a lot. But I have to say I have never, in any setting worked with a nurse that wore a cap. That seems a bit tooooo old fashioned. To me going back too far also represents the way nurses used to be treated by docs back in the day and were called nurse maids! lol

Well, they definately still make them...and if you want to wear them and all the associated regalia then it doesn't matter if others wear them
