We just recently disscussed favorite nurse books and I was wondering if there were any favorite nurse movies out there?
I saw and old black and white some years ago about two sisters in nursing school. They were caring for a little boy with a trach that needed suctioning (with their mouths!!) and the one sister left the boy alone to flirt with a doctor and the kid died, but the sister took the fall for it. Wish I could remember the name!

excellent movie! shows an autonomous nurse who's as smart as the doctors.

i really felt she was a heroic character.

Not a nurse movie, but love it anyway:
Terms of Endearment (part 1)
Just curious, why Terms of Endearment? It has a short minute scene with nurses with Shirly MacClain which did show nurses in a positive light?

I'm partial to real life TV programs like TLC and Discovery Health Channel programs showing the general population what it is like to be a nurse. I find shows like ER and St Elsewhere entertaining, but not true to life:)

"Wit" was great.
I always love Emma Thompson, but this was especially good. At the time I saw it, I was also in cancer treatment, so it was very meaningful for me. Certain scenes definitely stay with me still.
