Welcome to the Lost Art of Nursing Museum! 

There was a time when nursing was celebrated in song and verse. 

When world famous artists were commissioned to capture nurses on canvas. 

When magazine covers, advertisements, poems, and sheet music immortalized nurses. 

When books, dolls, and toys made every little girl dream of being a nurse when she grew up. 

There was a time when it was bold, noble, and patriotic to be a nurse. 

That time has come again!
