<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 82627, member: 44&quot;]Not all nursing schools used stripes. If they did, usually a student cap didn&#039;t have a stripe or had a stripe of one of the school&#039;s colors. Upon graduation when they became a RN, the stripe was changed to black. Then there were schools that added a stripe to the student nurse cap for each year of study. When they graduated, the stripes were removed and they wore only white caps.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have heard and read that the custom of a black stripe on some caps was supposedly in remembrance of Florence Nightingale, but doubt that has ever been proven.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
