Nan Lawson, bottom row, far right. Lawson does not appear to have practiced nursing for long. In 1921, she enrolled in the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. After graduation, she worked at McGill University and the Royal Victoria Hospital, where she established the hospital’s first medical art department, securing its importance until her marriage in 1924.
