The Great "Nursing Show" Discussion

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Alrighty guys and gals, you have discussed it, argued it, and down right demanded it, but the truth of the matter is...if you build it they will come!!

My intention of this thread is as follows:

"To get a concise and heartfelt feel for what nurses would like to see from a medical show based around Nursing"

Let's face it, television is fictional characters, laid out to imitate real life. However, as we have all agreed nurses tend to be a very incorrectly portrayed profession in most medical dramas.

So let's tell the television studios what we want!!

The Rules:

1. Please post your ideas on what you, as a nurse, would like to see on your primetime tv. How do you want to be represented.

2. Please don't bash each others ideas, feel free to agree and disagree by giving "thanks" to those ideas you really like, and clarifying those you don't, but keep it professional. Pending this thread gets big enough I would love to give a direct link to a few select channels, primarily Bravo and HBO/Showtime as I feel they have some great drama writers.

3. Keep it within topic, we have wonderful moderators (honestly some of the best on any forum I read) and I know they will help keep this on topic.

4. Have fun with this, and be concise, think about what is entertaining, heart breaking, and perceptive about nursing and how that would translate to the world of media.

5. Feel free to just post "yes I would love to or no I would not like to see" a show about nursing.

Ready! Set! Go!

I don't see why. Just get people to sign waivers. I mean some people show their behinds and more plus air their dirty laundry on Jerry Springer for their 15 minutes.:eek:

It was more of a tongue and cheek comment related to the "Nursing Channel" comments. The HIPPA show being an hour long block where you couldn't talk about...well anything!

how about a show that shows nursing at different levels like a reality show that follows a nursing student, a young nurse and an older nurse so that people can see we aren't all just sitting around waiting for a doctor to come and save us:lol_hitti
