Student Nurse s working in a clinical setting usually wear a Uniform . The uniform is worn for Hygiene as well as Identification purposes. The women in this photograph are wearing an old-fashioned uniform consisting of a dress, Pinafore Apron and Nursing Cap . There are however variations, and in some hospitals, student nurses also wear a Nursing Pin , or the pinafore apron may have been replaced by a Cobbler style Apron . A "scrub dress" is a simpler type of uniform, sometimes worn in Operating Rooms . However, student nurses are more likely to wear practical and durable " Scrubs ", eschewing the old-fashioned cap and ruffles these days. It has been argued that the wearing of uniforms by nurses is unnecessary in terms of Hygiene , for example, and may be more to do with a medically-dominated, hierarchical system in hospital settings, and the military roots of nursing. Also, there is no clear alternative to the traditional white dress and cap for male nurses. However, some favor a return to the old style of nursing uniforms so patients and other staff can readily identify who is a nurse and who is not, as Physicians , various Allied Health professionals, Nursing Assistants and Orderlies , and housekeeping staff often wear scrubs.
