So you want to be a Nightingale Nurse?
We’ve worked with the nurses at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to help children discover what it’s like to be a modern nurse and the many different roles the field of nursing offers today.
In the Family Corner you will also be able to dress up as either one of Florence’s nurses or a modern day nurse!
