Nursing is dirty, sweaty, hard work.  Would you expect your car mechanic to
wear white starched uniforms complete with hats?  The current dress-down
style of nurse apparel is the way it always should have been.  If I was a
patient and saw someone enter my room in the more traditional nurses
uniform, I'd probably be scared to death.  :)  -Dave
