Oh wow, I've never even heard of that. Is it done in a reality-show format (for entertainment, like "Resident Life"), or more educational?

"Nurses" is similar to "Paramedics" and "Resident Life". Cameras follow nurses through their daily procedures. There is some commentary from the nurses featured, but it's not really a reality show like "Real World" or "Big Brother". It's mostly entertainment, although the nurses do talk about the procedures and why certain things have to be done and what certain terms mean.

I am really sorry I don't get the Discovery Health Channel. I keep hearing good things about it.

Thanks so much I couldn't seem to ever catch it on. All I ever seem to catch on are those ones about delivering babies. I was beginning to think of renaming the channel the baby channel. Geez. You know I would find that interesting if they didn't play it so much. Or maybe I'm honestly not interested in it, it just seems to always be on. :uhoh21: Hmm just thinking out loud again. sorry

I get so tired of trying to catch anything on that channel because of it that I quit looking.

I'm still having the darnedest time finding the Trama Real ER show. Its been so long since I've seen it I can't even remember the exact name anymore.:o

Well that just goes to show ya I have had my nose stuck in the books to long.:chuckle

I watched part of it before I fell asleep (dang 12 hour shifts anyway!). It looked pretty good! I watch The Residents and Resident Life when I come across them. I watch Trama: Life in the ER sometimes, but not too often. I'm not too much into the trauma scene...and I'm with you, spunkygirl, I get sick & tired of all those "baby birthing" shows too! That's all I seem to see on there!

Thanks for the info! :) I like the show, but I don't know if I am willing to compromise my very tight budget to buy it though. :uhoh21:

My only peeve is that there are only five episodes and it's been on since 2001?

WTF! Every other show, thousands of baby birthing shows, reality infidelity shows, reality shows about Paramedics and residents...they all have MANY episodes and many re-runs. What do the nurses get?

FIVE FRIGGIN EPISODES PLAYED ONCE EVERY BLUE MOON. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire
