Nursing Quizzes & Trivia

Doctors and surgeons usually get most of the credit for making people better; but arguably it's often the care that sick or injured people get from nurses that makes a real difference. Nursing as a modern profession dates from the middle of the 19th century... do you know who was its real pioneer? Hint – she was known as the Lady with the Lamp, from her habit of walking round the wards at night with a lantern. Of course it was Florence Nightingale…and to this day nurses who train at St. Thomas’s, her old hospital in London, are known affectionately as “Nightingales”.

Our quiz on nursing covers not just the history on nursing, but many facts about different aspects of this caring profession...from military nursing to how nurses are trained and certified. Take the quiz to learn lots more!
