I think nurse's caps were more of a professional symbol, though. I believe each nursing school had its own cap design. I remember being in the hospital as a child, in 1967 or so, and being entranced with one nurse whose cap was a frilly little lampshade thing. I remember her saying it was a real pain to iron.
Margo My mother was a nurse in the 60s - graduation was frequently called "capping", because of the cap's importance as a symbol. Her cap was relatively plain & I can remember her starching it & flattening it on the refrigerator to dry. When it was dry, she took it down & folded it into shape.
