I don't know if this is a stupid question, but I was curious and thought this would be the best place to ask; I hope no one who reads this is insulted though. I just wanted to know if nursing students still have to wear the cap and if so is the cap for the male nursing students different from those of female nursing students 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jul 26, 2004 by danaRN2b 98 Posts; 2,389 Profile Views The program I'm beginning lets us choose, as a class, whether or not we will wear caps for our graduation photographs, but we don't wear them day-to-day. The male members of the class will not wear caps in the photos. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jul 26, 2004 by Nai'aHI 24 Posts; 1,878 Profile Views No caps here....although some of the female students *did* wear them to the pinning ceremony.I believe that we have 2 nurses in a 330 bed hospital who still wear the caps. Personally, I find it a little easier on the patients to know "who is who" i.e. they LOOK like nurses to the older patients. Frequently, I enter the room and am greeted with "who or what are you?" LOL(Not a bad question altogether) But I understand the confusion when everyone dresses alike - except maybe the docs, who wear street clothes! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jul 26, 2004 by Jen2 931 Posts; 5,055 Profile Views We don't wear caps in our ADN program. We are told that you have to earn your cap. Hence on graduation day when we wear it for the only 10 minutes in our life for pictures. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
