To participate in our newest video club, you will need to access HBO Max and view Season 1 of The Pitt on your own.

Frontline action

Step into the frontlines with The Pitt, HBO Max's gripping medical drama that tackles the realities of trauma, ethics, and dilemmas facing medical and nursing practice in a Pittsburgh emergency department.

PSNA's newest video club will have you talking (literally!) as you join your nursing colleagues for discussions that connect the on-screen drama to real-time challenges and triumphs of nursing practice.

What you'll see

Season 1 episodes are packed with high-stakes cases ranging from pediatric overdoses and sepsis management to disaster response, end-of-life care, and the emotional toll of repeated loss, all within a single day.

Each storyline highlights not only the critical role of advanced emergency department interventions but also the essential contributions of nurses: triage under pressure, patient advocacy, trauma support, workplace violence, burnout and grief.
