Times change, clothing changes. When I had surgery in Germany, Brazil
and Mexico, nurses were still wearing whites. Things changed here and I
am not sure why, maybe they could tell you. My mother and my sister are
both RN's, but neither of them have ever worked, although my mother did
volunteer at Hospice.
