Reality TV Focuses on Nursing in San Diego

A multimedia production company headquartered in San Diego, RAW Productions, is bringing the audio/visual world to life through an innovative new reality show about six nurses in Southern California, and their general discussion regarding the worldwide shortage in nurses. This show`s goal is to create awareness about the field of nursing and the dire need for qualified nurses.

Partnering with national nurse staffing company Access Nurses, RAW Productions brings its history of resourceful technological production to 13 Weeks, a show chronicling the lives of traveling nurses, mobile healthcare professionals whose peripatetic careers are dictated by the growing demand for nurses across the country. Crafted in the tradition of programs like The Real World, 13 Weeks follows both the professional and private lives of a group of nurses rooming together in a Newport Beach Mansion. The uniqueness of 13 Weeks lies in the fact that it is designed to function not only as entertainment, but also as a recruiting tool for Access Nurses.

RAW Productions prides itself on being at the forefront of its field, capable, despite its modest size, of producing on the same level as the industry`s top companies. `We like to think of ourselves as a small company producing big results,` says Hendler. To accomplish this innovative mission, Access Nurses called upon RAW Productions, a company with consummate experience in handling the needs of clients from both the business and artistic ends of the spectrum. RAW`s industry expertise comprises the technological savvy of some of the region`s most prodigious talent. Creative Director Ross Hendler notes that the company`s successes are owing entirely to the quality of its staff. Says Hendler, `Bar none, with the right people anything can be accomplished.`
