Sentimental Women Need Not Apply: A History of the American Nurse

This one-hour documentary is a comprehensive and compelling exploration of the sometime fanciful mythology and often tough realities that American nursing has faced since its inception in the mid-19th century. With contemporary interviews, dramatic readings, film clips and a wealth of archival photographs, the documentary traces professional nursing from its military beginnings through modern times, and looks at the way technology can threaten the compassion which was once the very heart of the profession.
