Like good soldiers in a war-zone, hospital staff are expected to respect the chain of command when dealing with life and death situations. But what happens when smug doctors, arrogant surgeons, and out-of-touch administrators make that easier said than done? Nurses deals with the professional and personal lives of four female colleagues who cope in different ways with the challenges of life on the trauma ward. With determination, strength, and a dark sense of humor, they achieve the demanding and inspiring task of saving lives in a system that sometimes seems designed to do the opposite.

The trauma center is facing its busiest day of the year: New Year's Eve. Jannica Ronkainen, a surgical nurse on duty, is already looking forward to the end of the year. Tired of her relationship troubles, Jannica wants anything but new romantic worries for the coming year – until she encounters a ghost from her past at the hospital. New Year's Eve offers Jannica the chance for one last adventure of the year, but the clinic's new and demanding surgeon, Eero Mustonen, adds challenges to Jannica's plans.
