Synopsis

It is hard to find a person whose life has not been touched by a nurse, yet how much do we know about these people we let into some of the most intimate, joyful and difficult moments of the human experience? This film offers a rare look into the complex, exciting and challenging world of being a nurse. It explores what it means to be a nurse, the many different roles that nurses play, from the bedside to the board room, and the realities of nursing - its joys and sorrows and the many ways that nurses impact the lives of others. Over 100 nurses from across the country were interviewed for this film. Their stories will move you to laughter and to tears.

Reviews

"This was the most incredible depiction of nursing that I've ever seen."
- Paula Dycus, DNP, RN, Tennessee Nurses Association member

"A heart-felt, beautiful representation of nursing, and it made me proud."
- Barbara Brewer, PhD, RN, Arizona Nurses Association member

"A close up look at the profession of nursing [and] the privilege of helping to make a difference in people’s lives. I love a movie that makes me feel good and that is exactly what this did." - Amos Lassen, Reviewsbyamoslassen.com

"You might expect a straight-up doc on the profession of nursing to be less than thrilling, but you'd be wrong. Over 100 nurses talk about their jobs in ways that make it sound like a religious experience, relating tales of life, death, sorrow, joy and the mystical essence of workaday miracles -- all for zero respect and near-zero pay. Inspiring, fun and lively."
