What happens

The Nurses is a serialized primetime medical drama that was broadcast in the United States on CBS from September 27, 1962, to May 11, 1965. For the third and final season, the title was expanded to The Doctors and the Nurses, and it ran until 1965, when it was transformed into a half-hour daytime soap opera. The soap opera, also called The Nurses, ran on ABC from 1965 to 1967. The series was spun-off from Arthur Hailey's 1959 CBS television play Diary of a Nurse, with Hailey receiving a royalty of $400 per episode despite doing no work on the series.
