Oncology nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore are the focus of this episode of the series, Nurses. As these nurses work with cancer patients, they provide various treatments, pain management, family therapy, and emotional support as well as helping people "die well." The nurses work with patients with leukemia, bone cancer, testicular cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer in the hospital, outpatient treatments, and hospice care. They discuss the satisfaction they find in working with these patients as well as their frustrations working with some of the families, their relationships with patients that they see daily, and how they deal with the inevitable death of some of these patients.
