I've missed the past couple of episodes this season (you know, clinical and studying and all). Anyway, I'm tickled so far to meet the new nurse manager on the show, Eve. Maybe the producers are finally hearing what real nurses thought of the representation on the show. She seems promising.
On the other hand, I can't believe this show has been on for 9 or so years and they STILL *all* wear every single stethoscope backwards!
I'm sure they just do it so they can hear whats going on around the set but I've always found that hilarious too. Sometimes I catch the older ER episodes and they really have gotten better. They don't shock flat lines or rub the paddles together so much anymore.
Ugh, I thought the new nurse manager was obnoxious in a "look how smart I am" kind of way. I mean, it's good to show the knowledge nurses are capable of having, but I would have wanted to smack her. Then at the end of the show, with the power play with Sam and working different shifts or being floated? Yeah, that's a great manager, way to support your staff right off the bat.

For what it is worth, as she said to Dr. K, he can call her doctor, as she has her PhD. And as a former nurse manager, I kind of share her attitude, A conflict between a nurse and a physician, that interfers with patient care, and can't be resolved, the parties need to be on different shifts. As one of my former supervisor's once said, 'don't drag your dirty lundary into work. I may change my mind but right now, she is a very good role model.

I completely agree. The new nurse manager was pompous and pretty much out of line. I think she pretty much gave a poor representation of nurses in healthcare. I know my stuff and I know it well enough that I do not need to "spout" it out to prove it all the time. It just seemed like she talked all the time and was very confrontational. Yada, yada, yada!!

this is the type of reaction the new character is supposed to get from viewers. I see it's working! Love ER.
Did you see the commercials during ER? The AMA sponsored "Everyday Heroes" was very touching(the heroes being doctors who spend loads of time caring and holding babies).UGH. No I dont hate doctors, but there they go copying nursing again and then stealing the spotlight.

This kind of thing does happen where managers power play like this. I don't think it's a bad thing for people to be aware of: nurses sometimes have shall we say difficult managers.
