2009 Film Night at the Museum

Celluloid & Starch – Nurses in the Movies

This is the first of many movie nights that will be hosted at the Museum of Health Care.

With this event, we were interested in how the “Nurse” has been portrayed in movies.  Join us by watching these videos and see what we found out by viewing movies from 1931 to 2007.
