A Nest of Cuckoos
Shockingly funny, yet true, stories from within the walls of the asylum, where the staff are as damaged as the patients. Unbelievable tales that will make you laugh out loud while wincing at the detail, recounted by the author of 'I flew into the Cuckoo's Nest'. 'Madhouse Memoirs' from a jaw-dropping 12-year career in psychiatric nursing.
This is definitely NOT a recruitment advert for mental health nursing!
This is a hard-hitting reality show. It's a 'warts and all' account, meaning not just the warts, but the halitosis and skid marks also.
The author didn't come out unscathed; it took its toll.
Enjoy the ride on this 10-15 episode rollercoaster.
