Nursing

The idea around nursing’s decorated door was born from the concept of how basketball players (and athletes in general) are very much like nurses with regards to drive, discipline and teamwork. Once we did a little research on this concept, we learned that many nursing schools had basketball teams well into the 1970s. We took the opportunity to incorporate this fun fact on our door by including a photo of a basketball team of student nurses from Grace Hospital in Detroit, Mich. in 1924.
