When did nursing caps go extinct in the wild?

[RNperdiem]

I wore a cap for my first year of nursing in the mid 1990's. By then only the occasional student wore caps.

I last saw a working nurse wear a cap in 1995. She was an older lady who worked night shift on one of my clinical units.

When did you last see a nurse (not a student) wearing the cap?

I haven't seen caps since the late 1990s.

And that's fine with me. It's nice for nostalgia, but that's about it.

Can't imagine a guy in a cap, just sayin'.

I've seen nurses in South America wearing caps. Not all of them, but they were still around.
