This is so sweet. From NPR, this is three minutes of audio of a nurse who called in to discuss her "obsolete skill", folding the cap:

My wife use t wear one in the early days.She has several times wished that she kept one. Tell me can they still be gotten? and if so where?
Check out "Kay's Caps" online. They have TONS of styles. You can probably even find the style that your wife's school used. That would be an awesome present for her. I still have my cap and wear it on special occasions. My pin and cap are very precious to me, even when I am disgusted with nursing these days, somehow that cap helps to remind me of when nursing was a healing art, a calling that people had to help others.

If you do an eBay search on "nursing cap" (in quotes - it cuts down on the number of extraneous items) I see three for sale right now.
