Plot

Night Shift Nurses opens with Dr. Ryuji Hirasaka, a gynecologist, looking back on an event feature everyday objects and human wastes. In most cases, it is not until the second or third sexual encounter that the nurses are 'transformed' and succumb to whatever Hirasaka subjects them to. It is worth nothing that, when compared with other hentai productions, Night Shift Nurses is somewhat different - that is, it is also a psychological drama. While Ryuji is indeed despicable, his 'victims' are unable to resist him and, later on, begin to visibly crave for his so-called experiments (aka. his infamous sexual plays).

Dr. Ryuji Hirasaka

Main character of the show, he is a gynecologist that, in the beginning, is employed in St. Juliana Hospital. He has a grim look, being tall, visibly lecherous and somewhat rude, but also capable of doing his profession. While being a pervert to the heart, his delusions comes from a tragedy he witnessed in his university years, when he attempted to rescue a mortally wounded woman. From there, he began to think in a very twisted way, and it is unclear if his is only a compulsive love/hate of women or something else. The first scene of every episode of the first series depicts his death in a bloody mess, and this scene is later shown clear, when he is drugged and chased by a hysterical Narumi Jinguji and wounded with a scalpel, after that he falls to his apparent death. He survives, but is later killed by Ren Nanase. In the second series, however, this is completely omitted as he is shown to be alive and well, albeit bound to a wheelchair.

Ren Nanase

A nurse of St. Juliana Hospital, the first "victim" of Ryuji's depravities and the main female character. She was in love with one of his patients, a young boxer named Naoya Ohkawa, but soon fell into Ryuji's grasp and became an assistant of some sort of the doctor, sometimes providing him with information about the other nurses. A very sweet girl incapable of harming others, her change is somewhat the most tragic or dramatic at least, as she became melancholic at first, then submissive, and in the end accepted Ryuji's twisted love for her. At the climax of the series she discovered that she was pregnant with Ryuji's child. However, she was the one that killed her torturer for good, as when he was treated after Narumi's failed attempt does not kill him, she approached him, had sex with him, and just after their orgasm she stabbed his chest with a scalpel, turning the room into a grisly bloodbath. At the end of the series, her sanity came into question as, when arrested, she stated clearly that she truly loved Ryuji, and that she would keep their child. It was later revealed that Narumi told her a story of how she was subjected to Ryuji's Experiments and later became pregnant and how Ryuji killed her unborn child just for discovering it existed.

Remi Shinjyo

Chief nurse in the maternity ward at St. Juliana Hospital, she is presented as extremely bossy and harsh, especially towards Ryuji, thus becoming the first nurse to experience the doctor's sadism to its extreme. She is not "clean" from the beginning, and Ryuji calls her a "killer nurse" from time to time: it is later explained that Remi is responsible for the death of a patient while under the knife, as she administered the anesthetics incorrectly. She's also The Only One of the Four Nurses who isn't a Virgin which is why Ryuji gives her such rude Remarks as "Slut" and "Loose Whore". While tortured and abused like the other nurses, she struggles to maintain her life and sanity until the very end, when she is forced to recollect everything from the beginning. This drives her mad, and her last scene depicts her laughing maniacally, her sanity completely lost while being Interrogated by Police.
