1. Handmaidens . By Barbara Bird. Nurses are expected to be sweet, caring and quietly efficient, even under difficult and stressful circumstances. Some recent studies suggest that many have been conditioned from childhood for roles as selfless caregivers. Growing up in alcoholic, or otherwise dysfunctional families, they learned to ignore their own needs, take care of others and, above all, not make waves. A nurse for 25 years, the producer surveys the roots and present-day realities of nursing, and intertwines this information with the stories of several nurses. This powerful video encourages nurses to stand up for themselves, for each other and for their rights as professionals in the workplace.First Place, Silver State Documentary Festival "Very truthful.
