OK I will relax, but I would love to have this conversation again in 20 years.
Because when most of the nurses wore white caps, they were managing bedpans and baths only. People used to come to the hospital for a week to have a physical exam, which included having manicures and nightly backrubs. The docs did the central lines in critical care areas, assisted with pulling chest tubes, gave iv drugs, dropping a ngt, etc!
Nursing has changed but the most of the public's idea of what a nurse does has not changed!
Its not about the uniform when it comes to nursing~! Trust me.
WE EARNED the right to not work in the sterotypical white dress and cap. When your patient dishisses and his guts pour out trust me when I say he wont care what you look like, what your sex is or what your uniform looks like. He will just want you to be prepared!
