The Student Nurses

Four young nurses navigate their internship and love lives in this uncommonly humanizing exploitation masterpiece from Stephanie Rothman (The Velvet Vampire). One falls in love with a terminally ill patient. A second girl is impregnated by a drugged biker. The third girl’s career is jeopardized when she makes a grave miscalculation. And the fourth nurse is forced to leave the unit when her revolutionary boyfriend commits an unspeakable act. Produced by Roger Corman, this was the first release from his prolific New World Studios.
