The nurse's cap design evolved from the traditional garb of the early deaconesses or nuns who were some of the earliest nurses to care for the sick.More recently,the cap's original use was to keep a female nurse's hair neatly in place and present a professional appearance.The rapid growth of the number of men in nursing also necessitated a unisex uniform.Also,with the increase in nosocomial illnesses in patients,many hospital and health care agencies decided that there was an increased risk of infection by resident microorganisms on the nurse's cap and ultimately removed the requirement of the nurse needing to wear a nurse's cap.
