When Did Nurses Stop Wearing Caps?

The use of nursing caps began to decline in the late 20th century. Several factors contributed to this change:
1. Practicality: Caps were not as practical in modern healthcare settings where nurses needed to move quickly and efficiently.
2. Uniform Evolution: The introduction of scrubs as the standard uniform made caps less necessary.
3. Infection Control: Concerns about caps potentially harboring bacteria led to their discontinuation in many institutions.
