If you’re not familiar with this remarkable HBO film, perhaps these promotional spots (one short, one long) will pique your interest.  This drama, which has won an Emmy, a Pulitzer and a Peabody Award, features Emma Thompson as a cancer patient. It’s one of the best films about the importance of nursing care ever made. It’s available on DVD and should be required viewing for nurses everywhere. If you haven’t seen it yet, I have the pleasure of introducing you to an experience that will make you a better nurse.
