Nurses are everywhere — on hospital wards, on board air ambulances, within our schools, in war zones and in our homes. You will meet many nurses in this exhibition: registered nurses, midwives, nursing assistants, lay nurses and nuns. Explore nursing past and present, and learn more about the nurses who make up Canada's caring profession.
