Vital signs of hope and humanity
They are the unsung heroes of health care, putting their own lives at risk to provide support and comfort to those who need it most.

In Nurses: The Human Touch, he takes you to the front lines of his profession, where split-second, life-and-death decisions are made every day.
You’ll experience firsthand the combatlike tension of an inner-city emergency room, the nonstop action of a Mobile Intensive Care Unit, the sound, sight, and feel of an operation in progress, harrowing daily life in a psychiatric hospital, and the joy of welcoming in the newly born.
You’ll share in the challenges and rewards, triumphs and disappointments of the nursing profession. And you’ll watch extraordinary stories unfold—life stories that bear witness to the courage, commitment, and compassion of these outstanding medical professionals.
