Synopsis
The series is set in Alden General Hospital (patterned after Roosevelt Hospital) in New York, and the primetime program starred Zina Bethune as Gail Lucas, the young nurse, and Shirl Conway as Liz Thorpe, her older nurse mentor.
Unlike most television dramas of the era, save for ABC's police drama Naked City (1958-1963) and the sitcom The Patty Duke Show (1963-1966), the series was filmed in New York and not Hollywood. The show was mainly filmed at the Filmways and Pathe Studios in Manhattan.
The program was nominated for five Primetime Emmy Awards.
