Nurses Who Kill

I find this documentary interesting although I wonder why the director hasn't used a nurse as a professional adviser.For the events viewed having a nurses perspective with their standards and exactly what they do would have been more grounded than having a doctor (although well spoken and informative) give a nurses view...physicians do not do our job they are not the expert in our processes. I cannot speak for other countries but in Canada nurses are autonomous from physicians we have our own standards and an excellent knowledge of science that we apply.We work closely with physicians but also lab pharmacy..physio and other professionals...nurses coordinate this and together with all the team support the physician in their decisions. Physicians rely heavily on nursing knowledge and assessment...caring is something ALL professions do. To validate nurses who kill..have a nurse's perspective not a physicians.

I found this series on Netflix and couldn't stop watching it ever since. It's very interesting and also scary to see how some people are capable of murdering the most vulnerable just to satisfy their egos. And you get to see what's on their minds too; we learn about their lives, childhood, and how they acted during their work. I'm also addicted to the intro music and hope they'll have a soundtrack somewhere. My verdict: watch it to see how far some people can go to live in a fantasy and justify it to themselves, also how the authorities failed to do research when the alarms were raised in the first place.

While very interesting and informative, the series suffers from not enough footage. The same scenes - even dramatic reconstructions - are being repeated five and more times throughout the episode, with some scenes taken from previous episodes. As a result - each episode feels like dragging on and if we cut out all repetitions, it would shrink to 15 minutes.

Many of the episodes of "nurses" who kill have nothing to do with "nurses". There is not such profession as a "carer" and EMT's and other ancillary healthcare professionals are NOT nurses and cannot and DO NOT provide "nursing care". Whoever made this trainwreck doesn't understand the healthcare system at all so it's unlikely the information is nothing more than trite melodrama. Stopped watching after 2 minutes when they kept referring to non nurses providing "nursing care".

I'm not sure why it's so hard to get this right. It's not a complicated concept to understand who is and isn't a "nurse".

They talk about how nurses should and shouldn't be but they sound like none of them has ever met a nurse. Most of the "specialists" they speak to their specialties have nothing to do with the subjects they're speaking about.
