This observational documentary series, Nurses, will tell the story of modern Irish nursing from the perspective of 8 trainee nurses. Nurse will follow these trainees from a range of backgrounds, as they juggle their final year studies with their often complicated, everyday lives. But that is not the end of their stories as the series continues to follow them as they begin their professional careers putting the theory into practice in the very real and stressful environments where they will become the front-line staff in a health service that is struggling with the vagaries of limited finance, resources and morale.
