Nurses Who Kill

This series reveals the horrors in hospitals and nursing homes to uncover how many got away with killing on the wards. Interviews with prosecutors, doctors, psychoanalysts, former police detectives who sat in the courtroom as Nurses were put on trial. We reveal not only why it is so easy for a nurse to kill, but how easy it is to cover their tracks. Ten stories, a whole lot more nightmares.
