    I’m in Canada and I’ve never seen a nurse dressed like this.

    The oldest memory I have of seeing a nurse is in seeing her look like an orderly at a mental hospital with white pants and shirt. I was eight years old screaming in pain when I had her pin me to the bed, while a second nurse set my broken leg. My family didn’t have to pay for it but it definitely did cost me a lifelong fear of nurses.

    I’ve never seen a nurse dress like that except in old shows/movies from decades ago.

      I’m 51 and spent a lot of time in hospitals as a very young child. Even back then, before scrubs, nurses uniforms were like “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” rather than “Debbie Does General Hospital”.

      Or on Halloween if you get the good costumes from the seasonal warehouse next to the landscaping dirt dump
