There is so much to see here! It’s hard to take it all in. Pace yourself and plan to make at least two visits.
I enjoyed my visit. There is so much to learn and read. I really enjoyed the uniforms. Learning about the history of nursing and the college was really exciting.

I hope they get some grants soon to get more staff, improve the venue,...

I've been here twice and it's pretty awesome, like taking a step back in time. They have a guided tour throughout the museum too. The guide was knowledgeable and didn't rush the tour. Definitely worth checking out if you like all things history. You will certainly learn something you didn't...
