Stephanie Rothman initiated New World Pictures’ popular “nurses” cycle with this intriguing, fiercely feminist look at the myriad social issues shaping the 1970s cultural conversation. Centered on the turbulent professional and personal lives of four young women living together while training to become medical professionals, THE STUDENT NURSES delivers the softcore titillation demanded by its producers while touching on a host of hot-button topics—abortion, the women’s movement, immigrant rights, LSD, the Vietnam War—with an unapologetically progressive point of view.
