When I was able to work, I worked in the Intensive Care Unit- we wore scrubs.... It was like working in your Pajamas... I liked to wear dresses as well. That's what this white dress reminds me of.... https://everythingisease.com/product...red-neck-dress
This is a digital image, I just colored the sweater and bag using copics, added Glitterery Washi and DP. The background is Shaving cream with Brusho's and was a RAK from a Teapot Tickle from Jean jkanick and I embossed it for texture. I did not wear my nursing cap after about 1984.... but this sure brings back memories!

As a medical technologist I too wore white dresses back in the 60s and early 70s. We didn’t wear the nurse caps. Your card reminds me of those days too. Love your red background.

What a fun card! Those starched white dresses and crisp hats and white stockings were certainly the outfit for a day in the life of a nurse back in the day.

Well, when I worked ICU, we wore the whole deal - caps, uniforms, white stockings and shoes. When I went to L&D, we wore scrub dresses, white hose and shoes. Finally in the OR, we just wore scrubs -- I liked the 'working in your pajamas'! I never thought of it like that. Your image - love it - reminds me of student days. We wore caps like that and got a 2nd stripe in our last year. I LOVE THIS CARD! What a walk down memory lane. Love the background too.
