In August 2004, Massachusetts General Hospital invited reporter Scott Allen and photographer Michelle McDonald from The Boston Globe to take part in an 'immersion experience' in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). The Globe staffers spent eight months shadowing an experienced nurse and a trainee nurse to learn about nursing practice first hand. The result was a four part, front-page series that ran from October 23–-October 26, 2005, entitled Critical Care: The making of an ICU nurse.[1]
The articles and photographs present an authentic view of nursing practice in 2005, and in 2006 began being incorporated into the curriculum of nursing schools throughout the United States.[citation needed]
In November 2006, the American Academy of Nursing awarded a "2006 Media Award" to the series.[2]. In December 2006, the series won the "Media Relations Campaign" award at the National Press Club's "Nonprofit PR Awards".[3]
