nursing cap
Hospital uniform accessory
A nursing cap is a starched white cloth headpiece traditionally worn by nurses as part of their uniform.
The distinctive folded or pleated cap indicated a nurse's training school and rank.
Once standard in hospitals, nursing caps fell out of use by the late twentieth century due to practicality concerns and changing dress codes, though they remain iconic in depictions of nurses.
