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.
