I didn't like the nurse. She reminded me constantly of a human representation of the close mindedness of the era they were in.
What I really didn't like was the scene where Nurse Joan couldn't or wouldn't see Martha as an intelligent human being or believe she was training as a doctor. There were certainly many women doctors already in that era, even though prejudice was still rampant.
