Norma Page: Oh, be quiet and stop acting like a pest. You're not in a nightclub now, you're in a hospital and nobody here cares who you are! You're just another noisy, complaining patient!
Robert Maitland: Say, where are you going?
Norma Page: To inform the superintendent that you only want men around you to protect you from designing women, I suppose. Well, let me tell you, Mr. Maitland, we're not women, we're nurses!

In that golden year of 1939, the same year that she played Careen, Scarlett O'Hara's youngest sister in GWTW Ann Rutherford also appeared in this earnest programmer. She's one of the title girls although not the most heavily featured, that would be the forgotten Florence Rice, but she's pert and strictly secondary which would explain how she could appear in EIGHT! films that year.
As for the rest of the film it's second feature, bottom of the bill stuff all the way. The lives and challenges of young nurses has been examined many times and nothing new is added here. Everyone performs professionally but without distinction, the unique Una Merkel livens things up whenever she pops in but she is also mostly on the sidelines. Everybody gets to prove their mettle by the end no matter how far they've strayed during the overheated melodramatics.
