Development
The drama was first announced in early 2016. This was confirmed in a commercial featuring Rebecca Lim and Aloysius Pang, right before the Care To Go Beyond commercial.
In June 2016, imaging sessions were done for the cast, and Zoe Tay, Bryan Wong, Xu Bin, Aloysius Pang and Carrie Wong attended a 3-hour nursing course at Yishun Community Hospital in preparation for the series. This course covers hand hygiene, wound care, CPR, health checkup, CADD pump and Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).
The series held its lensing ceremony on 30 June 2016. Zoe Tay, Xiang Yun, Bryan Wong, Rebecca Lim, Xu Bin, Aloysius Pang, Zheng Geping and new additions Carrie Wong and Thomas Ong were present at the event. At the ceremony, Tan Soh Chin, Ministry of Health’s Chief Nursing Officer, thanked the cast for having “portrayed nursing so well” in the first season, and noted that the intake of nurses at the diploma and degree levels have risen for two years since 2014. He also noted that the first season "had a very good outcome and high viewership, and also had very positive responses and encouraging feedback". Tan added that the goal of the series is to "profile nursing so the public will understand the kind of work that nurses are doing, and also to give accurate information about nurses at work," and "at the same time, (to show that) the work itself is satisfying and rewarding, and that there is a career path for them to progress (along)."
Elvin Ng, who was confirmed to be part of the casting lineup, is revealed to be returning in a cameo appearance with Sheila Sim – the first season, aired and took place in 2015, was left with Sim's character going abroad for three years; and Ng went along with her.

Jin Siyan, a rookie lawyer, is impressed that the nurses sacrificed victory to save a person’s life. Siyan goes to the hospital where her client, Zhiyuan, wants to force his father, Mingshan, to sign a will, despite having injured his fingers.
