A nurse uniform is attire worn by nurses for hygiene and identification. The traditional nurse uniform consists of a dress, apron and cap. It has existed in many variants, but the basic style has remained recognizable. History The first nurse uniforms were derived from the nun's habit. Before the 19th century, nuns took care of sick and injured people so it was obvious that trained lay nurses might copy the nun's habit as they have adopted ranks like "Sister". One of Florence Nightingale's first students (Miss van Rensselaer) designed the original uniform for the students at Miss Nightingale's school of nursing. Before the 1940s minor changes occurred in the uniform. The clothing consisted of a mainly blue outfit. Hospitals were free to determine the style of the nurse uniform, including the nurse's cap which exists in many variants. In Britain, the national uniform (or simply "national") was designed with the advent of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948, and the Newcastle dress. From
Un uniforme de enfermera es un traje usado por las enfermeras para la higiene y la identificación. El uniforme tradicional de la enfermera consiste en un vestido, una prenda y un sombrero. Ha existido en muchas variantes, pero el estilo básico ha permanecido reconocible. Historia Los primeros uniformes de la enfermera se derivaron del hábito de la monja. Antes del siglo XIX, las monjas cuidaban a las personas enfermas y lesionadas, por lo que era obvio que las enfermeras laicas capacitadas podían copiar el hábito de la monja ya que adoptaron las filas como "la hermana". Uno de los primeros estudiantes de Florence Nightingale (Miss van Rensselaer) diseñó el uniforme original para los estudiantes de la escuela de enfermería de Miss Nightingale. Antes de los años 1940, los cambios menores ocurrieron en el uniforme. La ropa consistía principalmente en un traje azul. Los hospitales eran libres de determinar el estilo del uniforme de la enfermera, incluyendo las capas que existen en muchas variantes. En Gran Breta
