Night Shift Nurses is the North American localization of Yakin Byōtō (夜勤病棟, Yakin Byōtō), a Japanese OVA series adapted by Discovery[1] from the visual novel of the same name.[2] It was formerly licensed by Anime 18, and now by Critical Mass Video.[3] The series is particularly notorious for its explicit depictions of rape, necrophilia, sadomasochism, and paraphilia.[4][5]
Synopsis[edit]
Setting[edit]
Night Shift Nurses, as was originally written for the game, takes place in an undisclosed area of Japan, mainly at the fictional St. Juliana Hospital. A majority of the game is portrayed on campus with minor visits to the character's residences and surrounding towns.[6]
Plot[edit]
Yakin Byōto 1:Ryuji Hirasaka is an unemployed, middle-aged Japanese gynaecologist, single, independent, and living on his own. One evening, he receives an email from the fictional St. Juliana Hospital, a local institution, offering him a temporary job opportunity. He contently accepts, scheduling to meet with the president the following day.
That afternoon, semi-formal and with a portfolio, Ryuji commutes to the hospital. After an acquaintance with Ren Nanase, a nurse who escorts him to the president, he is frightened to discover his potential employer is a woman he had brutally raped in the past, Narumi Jinguji. In spite of the excruciating atmosphere, however, Narumi explains her wish to develop a department in the hospital that caters to the sexual interests of patients; in need of his expertise to oversee the operation. Overwhelmed with lewd excitement, Ryuji agrees.[7]
Yakin Byōto 2:A young elite doctor Souichiro Kuwabara couldn't forget his feelings towards Ren Nanase, whom he had fallen in love with back in his training days. He's been switching occupations at different hospitals one after another, to go look for her, and finally he meets her again at the Sei-Katorea General Hospital. However, her attitude was remote and sadly enough his love couldn't be fulfilled. To make things worse and more complicated, he finds a stack of photographs depicting Ren being molested. Ren had been turned into a lewd woman by Hirasaka when she was still working at St. Julianna. He was very disappointed after what he had witnessed to the point where he ends up losing his mind and going insane-(both mentally and sexually).
Yakin Byōto 3:Yotsuya Jiro, an aspiring novelist was lying in front of a hospital. He was seriously injured, and when he though he was about to die, a pink haired nurse named Yuu Yagami, helped him. He was sent into an emergency ward, and he met a beautiful woman, Reika Mikage. She is a director of the hospital, and she asked him to become a test subject. Because he didn't have any relatives, he accepted it. Then, Yuu was supposed to take care of him. Since that day, his fate had changed a lot.
Yakin Byōto Zero:This is the back story of how the genius doctor Ryuuji Hirasaka acquired his perverted pastime as a med school student. He and Narumi Jinguuji are rivals at the top of their class. One day, Narumi tells him that if he can seduce the woman she designates in the 2 weeks before graduation, she'll admit her defeat and do anything he tells her. The girls she suggests are just as beautiful and desirable as herself. Sensing his perverted perceptions transforming into a talent at her tantalizing suggestion, he readily agrees.

An unconvicted sex offender, Ryuji is vicious, controlling and intimidating, often cold reading those under him to learn about their vulnerabilities and how to exploit them. He sports a mullet and is bespectacled. He is murdered by Ren at the end of episode 5. In Night Shift Nurses Kranke he has a better ending: he marries Ren and the couple decide to move to the countryside to continue their experiments.

As a previous rape victim of her own employee, Narumi exhibits bursts of psychological imbalance and unrest. She is noted for her long green hair. Like Ryuji, she too wears glasses.

Like the nurses to come, in spite of the abhorrent treatment she receives, Ren develops Stockholm syndrome and becomes emotionally attached to her abuser. Ren is distinguishable by her incredibly long hair, of which is usually tied into a ponytail. It is later revealed that she is pregnant.

Ryuji takes advantage of Remi's malpractice and subjects her to inhumane experiments. Like Ren, Remi falls for Ryuji and shows huge interest of wanting to be experimented by Ryuji again.

It is later revealed that most of the group has to endure the same thing as her. Hikaru is noted for her pigtails and loose socks. She has an adoptive sister, Ai, hospitalized for heart problems.

Reception[edit]
As a result of the unrestrained content of the series, Night Shift Nurses is usually regarded as one of, if not the most graphic hentai ever released.[citation needed] Several minutes of particularly unruly scenes were even banned from North American releases.[9] Industry aggregator Mania.com gave the series an F, citing that although the animation is 'clean' and 'slick', the quantity of edits made for the American release yields it one that '[..]I in no way [can] recommend.'

Published 11:38 AM EDT Apr 7, 2020
Nurses in the emergency room at DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital took a stand late Sunday night against what they said are dangerous working conditions that put them and their patients at risk.
Salah Hadwan, a registered nurse in the emergency department at Sinai-Grace, which is in the heart of Detroit, the city hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak in Michigan, said the surge in extremely sick patients coupled with nurses who have quit or been sickened by the virus, has led to a crisis in staffing.
This story was co-published with Bridge Magazine.
The hospital's emergency room managers are requiring those who report to work to manage more than 100 critically ill patients, many of whom are on ventilators and need critical care, he said, adding that ideally, there would be 21 nurses on staff for every shift.
'Tonight, it was the breaking point for us because we cannot take care of your loved ones out here with just six or seven nurses and multiple vents (ventilators), multiple people on drips,' said Hadwan, adding that the patient load has been building for three weeks.
'There would have been nurses that had to watch up to 20 patients at a time, which is not safe,' he said.
The night nurses asked managers to call for extra help to handle the patient load. But when they saw no relief, they staged a protest late Sunday, said Hadwan, 30, who has worked at Sinai-Grace for three years and said he has never seen working conditions like this.
'We decided to sit in our break room until they could pull in more resources to help us out for the night,' he said.
'After four hours, they basically told us there was not going to be any support coming in for the night. And they told us, 'What is your decision?' We told them we were taking a stand, so they basically told us, 'You can leave.' So that meant the day-shift workers had to work the whole night, for 24 hours.'
Hadwan, who also is vice president of the Hamtramck Public Schools Board of Education, posted a Facebook Live video about midnight Monday, showing the group of nurses leaving Sinai-Grace. The nurses said they love their hospital and city, but they could not take those working conditions anymore.
Brian Taylor, a spokesman for the Detroit Medical Center, said high patient volume is driving an increased need for staffing, especially nurses.
'The DMC is using a variety of resources to help to supplement nursing staff including contracting with staffing agencies to secure more nurses and reaching out to colleges and universities to recruit nursing students who are close to graduation to assist in providing care to our patients, in accordance with state guidance,' Taylor said.
“We know this is a very challenging time for caregivers. Our doctors and nurses continue to demonstrate their commitment and dedication to our patients.
'We are disappointed that last night a very small number of nurses at Sinai-Grace Hospital staged a work stoppage in the hospital refusing to care for patients. Despite this, our patients continued to receive the care they needed as other dedicated nurses stepped in to provide care.”
Nurses face long hours, dangerous conditions
Nurses throughout the state are working against increasing anxiety from a continued shortage of personal protective equipment, intimate care with the most contagious patients, and pressure to keep their loved ones safe at home, nurses have told the Free Press and Bridge in recent days.
“When there aren’t enough troops to fight this fight, what do you do? You retreat.” said Nina Bugbee, president of the Teamsters Local 332, which represents radiologists and respiratory therapists at McLaren Flint Hospital.
“These workers who appear to be walking away, aren’t really,” Bugbee said. “This is not something they want to do, but they are saying, ‘This is bigger than what we can handle. You have to give us the weapons to fight this, or we will lose this war.’ ”
Bugbee also represents tens of thousands of health care workers in her role in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, where she serves as director of the health care division.
She said the tension, building for weeks, is near a snapping point at hospitals throughout Michigan and the country.
“In Week 1, we were in shock. In Week 2, we didn’t have (personal protective equipment). In Week 3, we realized the hazards and warnings, and now here in Week 4, the (staffing) ratios are not manageable and they are not safe.”
Nurses have 'a tipping point' where 'the best thing any RN can do for their patients, their families, and their coworkers is to speak out .. rather than remain silent,' Jamie Brown, a critical care nurse at Borgess Hospital and the president of the Michigan Nurses Association, said in a prepared statement.
'Until hospitals start taking the concerns of nurses seriously, it’s only a matter of time before more actions like these (at Sinai Grace) occur,' she said. 'It is absolutely essential that hospitals start working with nurses and stop silencing our voices.'
Hospitals, as well as nurses, are in impossible situations, said Jeff Morawski, a longtime nurse and president of the OPEIU Local 40, which represents nurses at McClaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens.
Hospitals and patients need nurses. And for many nurses, caring for others is threaded through their DNA.
Still, Morawski said, among the ranks of nurses are parents of young children and caregivers to elderly loved ones and spouses to people with underlying conditions that make them more susceptible to the virus.
Those loved ones, too, count on the nurses.
'There is a point in your life and you have to decide that your own life is worth something, and whether it's worth working without protection and putting the people you care for — the patients — in danger and your families — in danger,' Morawski said.
He said McLaren's nurses aren't pushed yet to the point reported by Sinai-Grace's night shift.
Detroit nurse fired after voicing concerns
Kenisa Barkai, 38, of Woodhaven said she was fired March 27 from her nursing job at Sinai-Grace after speaking out about staffing and poor conditions at the hospital.
She said she was in talks to form a union for the nurses before Michigan marked its first known coronavirus case, but the pandemic brought underlying problems that were simmering at the hospital to a full boil.
On March 16-17, the single mother said she was caring for seven patients, including two who had tested positive for COVID-19.
Then, she said, more patients were admitted, increasing her workload.
“I voiced my concern loud and clear that day, like this is ridiculous,” she said. “… I can't be 100 places at one time. I was already overwhelmed and overworked. You know, we don't get to take breaks. We don't get to go to the bathroom. And with COVID patients, it's not just like, you're able to go in and out of the room — you have to take a lot of steps to protect yourself, right?”
Neighbors 2014 dual audio robocop full. Barkai said she repeatedly raised concerns about conditions and indicated plans to contact authorities. She posted a Facebook video, showing her gown and mask, which was then featured by WDIV-TV (Channel 4). The local news station interviewed her about conditions at Sinai-Grace.
The following week, she lost her job. The hospital system cited a violation of its social media policy, according to a termination document provided to the Free Press and Bridge Magazine by Barkai.
Taylor, the spokesman for Sinai-Grace, said he could not discuss the personnel matter.
“This is the most important time for nurses, you know, to actually have a sense of maybe, finally, like how important we are in .. health care and how important we are with patient care and patient safety,” Barkai said. “… When you go to war, you know, you're working right alongside with your coworkers to fight this battle. I am being sidelined right now.”
Hadwan said the pressure for the night nurses just got to be too much on Sunday.
'The anxiety, the mental stress that it's put on everybody, it's rough,' Hadwan said. 'We love going to work there. We all love working with each other. We do everything to support each other, but we honestly get off work, and we can't go to sleep just thinking about having to go back and having to deal with the same conditions over and over again.
Night Shift Nurses And Sleep Deprivation
'We try our best, but honestly, it's impossible to give them the care they deserve with the amount of staff we have.'

Hadwan described an emergency department with patients filling the hallways, and nurses who wear the same mask over multiple 12-hour shifts. 'The patients deserve to be in a room. They deserve to be monitored correctly,' he said.
'We've had a lot of great nurses resign. We've had a few people call in because they are mentally exhausted. .. It's gotten to the point where it's hard to keep the staff they want to be there, but it's unsafe.'
Hadwan was scheduled to report to work again Monday night.
'They didn't take our badges,' he said. 'We all are scheduled to go back in tonight. We all plan to go in tonight, and see what happens from there. We don't quit. We don't quit, you know.'
He hopes people who hear about the situation will understand that COVID-19 is not a hoax or a scam, and that it is killing people.
'People are dying in large amounts. Please stay home, please. If everybody stayed home for two weeks, you know we could be saving each other just by doing that. We have to take it seriously,' Hadwan said.
'If only they could see what we see. There's no words to describe it.'
