The series Nurses spanned three seasons of 68 episodes total. These were aired between 1991 and 1994 on the NBC network. Because Empty Nest and Golden Girls aired back-to-back on the same night, special cross-over events were possible. One example is Hurricane Saturday, where all of Miami was struck by a hurricane storm that effected all episodes airing that night. Also at times some characters from one show guest starred on another. The show was taped at Sunset-Gower Studios.

Nurses was filmed in front of a live audience, aired September 14, 1991 — May 7, 1994. The series was created by Susan Harris, the creator of Empty Nest and Golden Girls.

Predecessor[]

The series Nightengales as aired in 1989 can be seen as a predecessor. The cast constists out of the same kind of characters in a same setting with similar storylines. Similary it was aired on the same channel. According to rumors Nightengales was pulled from the air because the American Nurses Association convinced sponsors that the series was "demeaning the nursing profession".
