Syke (Pulse) or also known as Nurses is a Finnish medical drama television series that has been airing since 2014. Set in the trauma department of a central hospital in a major city, the series initially focused on the lives of four nurses, both at work and during their personal time.

On its fourth season, the show expanded to include scenes outside the hospital, depicting ambulance operations, and by its fifth season, it encompassed the entire trauma department.
