Old Time Nurse


Good Thursday Morning to you all. Nursing Week continues with this picture of a nurse from 1900. I find it interesting how nursing uniforms have changed over the years. I can remember in elementary school that school had a nurse, and she wore white dress, white stockings, white nursing shoes, and then the old style nurses cap. The nurses office smelled of some sort of strong disinfectant. I hated that smell and still can not get the smell out of my head. I associate that smell with being sick.

I beg you all to not bring up that other topic today. Henceforth it shall be referred to as the "Topic Which Shall Not Be Mentioned".
