After reading all of these, it sounds like nurses and soldiers have a lot in common. Army uniforms are desined to be versatile, carry a lot of stuff, durable, and they don't really wrinkle a lot. Google images of Army ACU. Pockets galore! They are meant to be accessible yet secure in crazy situations (like combat).
