Nursing staff from the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust (RWT), which runs New Cross Hospital, carried out the celebration to mark her 200th birthday.
The founder of modern nursing's birthday is shared with International Nurses Day each year on May 12.
A spokesman for RWT said on Twitter: "Florence Nightingale was known historically as the Lady with the Lamp, so in tribute to her, and to those staff members working through the night and in unsociable hours to care for patients, we've recreated the image of Florence using our own nursing staff."
