Subject: [Videolib] nurses in film

Anyone have suggestions for films that portray nurses, both good and bad?  A 
faculty member is looking for films for undergraduate nursing students to 
"compare and contrast core values, professionalism, and comportment with 
representations of nurses/nursing in film media."  I think she's interested in 
both feature films and documentaries. Your help is greatly appreciated.  I'd be 
happy to post the resulting list if anyone's interested. THANKS.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
