The virtual museum documents how the Navy Nurse Corps has adapted over time to societal changes, including uniforms, diversity and culture. Artifacts and memorabilia include underwear crocheted by a Navy nurse when she was a prisoner of war during World War II, commemorative plates, glass and metal syringes, a tote bag designed by Frances Walsh, and so much more.
