<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 9602217, member: 88&quot;]I have never heard of the nurse&#039;s buckle here in the US. I see by the description above that the buckle often signifies what school they got their training. In the US her cap &amp; pin signified the school. </p><p><br /></p><p>The caps started disappearing in the late 1980s. I graduated in 1987 &amp; the cap I wore as a student (it was mandatory) is long gone. We were given a new one for graduation from a local uniform shop. I wore mine for the graduation ceremony &amp; that was it. I will lay odds that I was not the only one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly, they were a nuisance, especially in an emergency. They were hard to keep in place especially if you had very short or fine hair. After most codes or other types of emergencies, there were always at least a couple of caps thrown into a corner somewhere. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
