Don't nurses wear veils in the UK? I remember from several movies... Monica The nurse in overall charge of a ward was, and for all I know still is, called Sister. I read some books by an author named Lucilla Andrew in which the nurse of the operating room (called an operating theatre)was referred to as Sister Theatre. Can someone tell me if that's been changed or not? Thanks Carol Mitchell There is still a nursing hierarchy, and there are still sisters (though I'm by no means an expert, as am not a nurse) - from memory sisters wear dark blue uniforms, as opposed to light blue (when not in scrubs), and a sister would be the most senior nurse on a ward. Not sure if they still have matrons (who would be the most senior nurse in a hospital). Never seen a nurse wearing a veil, or anything similar. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
