Hey is anyones life as a nurse like greys amatomy?

[francoml]

I am a new grad and just got hired in a level one trauma center and I work in trauma ICU. I feel like my life has a lot of similarities to the show.... I live with two girls and the trauma team likes to go out (on our days off) a lot. It's kind of like big fraternity, everyone is super close and likes to have a good time :) we give awesome care to our patients and really live and breath trauma medicine! Just wondering if y'all have similar experiences?

No. Work is hard, and coworkers are coworkers. And thankfully, most of us earn enough that we don't have to live with roommates. I'm glad my profession is my profession, and I'm glad I don't know anyone who suffers such delusions of grandeur that they imagine themselves as a reality star because they drink with their "girls" on days off.

And put a damn shirt on. This is the internet, not a gay club.

Yes, life often imitates cheesy tv dramas.

I'm thankful to all things holy that my work life is NOT like Grey's Anatomy. Ugh. I can't believe that's something you feel the need to brag about.

You mean I just stand around at the nurse's station, holding a clipboard with papercharting on it, looking impeccable in my carefully coifed hair and makeup, with my scrubs rumpled *just so*, watching the doctors do all the work? IVs, lavage, wound dressings, patient education...I just stand there and observe as all the doctors and residents work hard and screw up harder?

No.

I like you. Sarcasm and all that. Great minds think alike I suppose.
