This site is a source on the Internet about the history of Nurse Uniform in the United Kingdom (UK) and other countries (USA, Hong Kong, Japan, etc.). The pictures of this site date from 1930 till 2018. A large amount of images shows nurses in real life. But also actresses, models in the media and models in fashion wearing nurse uniforms are collected.

This site is a long-term project and has been maintained and developed by Usermaatra0069 since 2007. Some say it's a monks work. Today there are more than 10,000 images on this site.

For more information, see About this site.

New additions to this site..

February 2021

• Made a new logo and a new layout for the site. The colours looks more medical, the older one was quite dark. It was time for a change.
• I searched for pictures that didn't exist anymore and could find some from the archive.
• I searched for images that are double in the database, not the picture itself but the filename.
• I made some changes to the database.Three tables are obsolete, a new one has been made.
• Added the following pages: 365 (33 images), 418 (35 images) and a new page 451 (36 images). The last one is filled with images found in the archives.
• The 'nurses uniform' page was very big. It contained 'the national' and 'the newcastle'. These are now seperated from 'nurses uniform'. Newly created images: The national uniform dress and The newcastle uniform dress.
• I see in some pages that the description of the image is unclear, it contains not the year and not the country. I fixed this for all the images of Nurses in the Media.

November 2020

It has been a while when I last updated this website. But here it is, a brand new update. All the old pages are indexed and sorted out. It was a monks work, but it pays off.

• The N.U.P.P. section has been edited, added some buttons.
• The Angels pages have been redesigned to a more modern look, but keeping the archaic style.
