nurse

A health care professional who assists doctors and other health care professionals in the treatment of sick and injured people.

While modern nurses wear medical scrubs, this tag most often applies to the stereotypical white dress and nurse cap combination that was popular during the early 20th century. Before then, western nurses were known for wearing a combination of a nurse cap, black dress, and a white apron.
