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.
He is a convicted rapist and has convictions related to domestic violence as well. He's a scumbag. I followed the rape trial and he's a real jewel. To have him represent nurses or whatever he's doing is crap. I am on who won't support him in this endeavor. Yes he's paid his sentence to society but it's something about rapist that just bother me. I for one will not forget ... maybe if he apologized and acknowledged his crime but he will never do that; his type never does.

Okay, now that's scary and a much better reason ! I'm not as familiar with this info. But I get what you're saying. If it was Casey Anthony portraying a nurse (especially a pediatric nurse) I would be calling the station in a fit (even though she wasn't convicted. I personally still would be mad). So, I get it now. If it was just a celebrity switch, no big deal IMO. For example, Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson, or somebody I don't see the big deal. But I totally get your drift now. (I must admit, I will still probably watch it though. Probably because I am not as familiar with his case). I'm not as emotionally invested as someone who may have followed his rape trial either. So, it's everyones personal choice to watch.
