Caitlin sees just how fast things can take an unexpected turn when working in A&E.

Leah’s proud when her care helps a patient recover after major surgery. Caitlin and Mikey put in a shift as patients with strokes, heart attacks and internal bleeding come to A&E.

Nurse Leah, 24, has spent almost two months helping a patient, who’s from the same farming community as her, recover after surgery. It’s a sad but proud moment when he’s finally well enough to leave. 

Despite trying to stay out of trouble, nurse Mikey faces all the ward banter as suspect number one when a vital medicine machine malfunctions. Meanwhile, Caitlin, 21, faces her first shift in Resus as a qualified nurse. She holds her own well, but has a patient whose case shows just how fast things can take a turn in A&E.
