Somebody 2 days ago mentioned that the woman in the previous strips might not be the “nurse.” I’m late adding my 2 cents to that, but I said she was a nurse because of the stripe on her cap. Which isn’t necessarily true here, if the person who draws the strip doesn’t know the secret.
Here’s a bit of nursing trivia. Nurses hats toldl you what kind of nurse you’re looking at if you know the code. Newly capped nurses (student nurses now), who were not yet licensed didn’t have a stripe. Pink ladies or candy stripers could wear a pink or candy-striped hat but without the horizontal stripe of any type. Dental hygeinists had a similar cap, but with a purple stripe. Registered nurses have one or two black or steel gray stripes, depending on their school.
I have a cute little round cap with a black velvet stripe , secured at the corners with little crosses. I went to a Catholic nursing school. I still have it, I’d never get rid of it, but I’d never voluntarily wear it to work. I’ve worked with very very few nurses who still wear their caps and the ones who do seem like they’re all the MEAN ones!
