i keep seeing previews for this new show starting tonight on abc. i'm hoping it includes some great nurses rather then just focusing on the physicians. what do you guys think?

Thanks for the info. :) I didn't know about this show. I'll be checking it out for sure. I'm still so upset NBC canceled Mercy!! That was the only primetime show I was watching lately, so grrr...

I haven't seen previews but my husband showed me a review that mentioned how "realistic" the show is. I'm DVR'ing it.

Because TV critics understand the realities of hospitals:lol2::lol2:

I am def watching it tonight. From previews looks more Dr. oriented, as most med shows are :mad:. Discovery Health has a new show "NICU" starting July 15th. Looks good too and seems to be more nurse oriented.

Here's a review from the New York Times. After reading it, I know I will DEFINITELY be forcing myself to stay up tonight!

Great find on the article!! I hadn't heard about the NICU show but that sounds good too, I don't think I get discovery health so hopefully Comcast puts it On Demand.

I hadn't even heard about it until I saw this post. I'll be watching now. Here is an interview with the executive producer explaining how he was able to get access and certain shots: "Boston Med" producer Terry Wrong: How I got all that access | TV Barn

I very much doubt it.

I see enough drama everyday at work, don't need to see it at home.

I have my DVR set to record in case I fall asleep! I heard about the NICU show and I'm so glad you reminded me! I am in my last year of school and about to chose my preceptorship. The two nursing personality tests I've taken placed me in the NICU in my top 5 specialties. I never would have even considered the NICU before taking that test so I'm really looking forward to this show. Maybe that is where I belong.

Watching it now. So far I like it, even though it is most definitely Dr. focused so far. I'm interested to find out how realistic people who actually have experience in a hospital think it is.
