So the post about media portrayal and nurses made me want to post this...
We were watching "The Doctors" the other morning and the ED doc on the show made several positive comments about nurses, as well as bashing people aho think men shouldn't be nurses.
The comment that stuck out the most to me was (paraphrased): "When a trauma comes in, it's the team of nurses that really stabilize the pt enough to have something to work with."
Everything he had to say really emphasized the importance of nursing care and he seemed to have a great appreciation of the nurses he works with. Made me wish he would come and talk to some of the docs I have to deal with!
