You "RN" for an exciting evening!
On Thursday, November 19th at 7pm at the LCHS Museum, join us for a lecture on the evolution of nursing uniforms! Hosted by LCHS Board Member Jennifer Ochman, this lecture will examine the history of nursing uniforms from the Civil War era, until roughly the 1960s, and will discuss how changes in their design matched changes in the profession as a whole. The evening will also feature photos, authentic period uniforms, and medical artifacts all from the LCHS collection!
