Save a life, you’re a hero. Save 100 lives, you’re a nurse.
New special event series, Nurses, takes audiences straight to the heart of the medical frontline with privileged access to three major city hospitals, introducing the incredible men and women dealing with life and death situations every day.
From the turnstile of medical dramas that come through the doors of St.Vincent’s Hospital on a Saturday night, to the race against the clock of an organ delivery for a heart transplant, or an emergency caesarean operation inside North Sydney’s Mater Hospital, there is always a nurse who makes a difference.
This real-life drama series will also share the nurses’ extraordinary personal stories as they work around the clock providing urgent care to those in need. The dedicated nurses you meet in the series come from diverse backgrounds and share a commitment to care.
Audiences will gain insight into the different career stages and specialities within the nursing profession, including probationers at the beginning of their careers to highly trained midwives and specialists on the organ donor team.
Nurses captures life, death and everything in between through the eyes of nurses in a world where the smallest mistake can have life-threatening consequences.
I am absolutely disgusted in a scene from tonight’s ‘Nurses’. A heart transplant patient had been moved to a chair but his bed remained unmade. When I did my nurses training, the first thing you did after getting a patient comfortable in a chair was to make their bed – preferably with clean sheets if available. Never would a bed be left in the state it was seen on TV tonight!
Lorraine perhaps because there was camera crew they left it to allow filming. Surely if you have done nurses training you wouldn’t be so “disgusted” he is in CCU you have no idea what drama might be happening on the ward in the whole 2 minutes you saw.
