Have y'all heard of this show called "Same Name?" it's on CBS tonight at 8 pm central/ 9 pm Eastern.....

Mike Tyson (the famous one) is going to trade places for a day with a nurse named Mike Tyson.....in the

commercial, they show (the fighter) Mike Tyson watching some type of bloody-looking procedure with his

face VERY scared looking.....should be interesting! I wonder if they'll have him change adults' diapers and

clean up emesis and blood, too!? :nurse:

Is it in a hospital or clinic? The room looked like an office room.

He has been charged before as well in different matters with different women concerning domestic violence (shock!). Such a charmer :down:

I personally am offended that they're going to let him practice. He's not a nurse, shouldn't be allowed to portray one, and I think it reflects badly on us nurses who happen to be male. Sent them a email, and won't be watching. Everyone I know says they're not watching either.

If you watch the preview you will see he really isn't practicing. They would never let a "lay" person do something serious that would harm a person I am sure. He appears to really just be "shadowing" a nurse. Other celebrity same names will be switching with an electrician and an executive at a sales company. I do not see how this reflects poorly on a nurse. I also don't get offended easily either, but that's just me.
