The nursing profession gets a look in this second of the Carry On series of films. Carry On Nursing takes place in the public male ward of a hospital where we have one interesting section of cross Brittania Carry On style.
Among the patients are boxer Kenneth Connor, professor Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey who seems to be in his own world, Terence Longden who is getting acquainted with nurse Shirley Eaton, Leslie Phillips who just wants a bunion removed and keeps getting that constantly postponed and in a private room a most demanding colonel Wilfrid Hyde-White. Hyde- White is a sportsman and has an arrangement with one of the orderlies to keep his bets being placed.
They all live in mortal terror of the head matron Hattie Jacques who is the mother of Nurse Ratched. They'd all like to do something to her, but only Williams actually tells her off.
The climax of this film is hysterical as Williams who believes he can master any subject reads a book on surgery and decides to do a little operating to help his mate Phillips out. The others all join in with Hawtrey in a nurses uniform keeping a lookout and Connor applying a little too much anesthesia all around. You have to see it to believe it.
Carry On Nurse is a great followup film to Carry On Sergeant and insured this series would have a life.
