Discovery Health channel has carried fine shows on nursing in the past. Unfortuately I did not see them because I do not have this channel. I can't understand why they don't main steam them on the regular Discovery Channel like they do many of their other medical shows. The regular Discovery Channel has a much wider viewership.

Hi

I just checked our TV book. I discovered we don't get the discovery Health Channel!! I guess I should look thru the book more often!!

So, guess I won't get to see it after all, unless it comes out on DVD

thanks

For those in the pacific time zone with DISH Network....

Channel 189 at 7 pm

The onscreen dish guide shows this as being the first in the series.

I remember about 12 or so years ago there was an awesome show on a PBS station that followed around ALL of the people of a medical ICU team. I think it was filmed at Johns Hopkins. Excellent, excellent show. This was before I became a nurse and I was just mezmorized...couldn't tear myself away from the television. It was a week long and on for eight straight hours at a time. Maybe it was one of the first "reality" shows?!

I'm excited about this Discovery show. Hopefully it will measure up to our tough standards and show what the profession of nursing is really all about!!

Hooray!! Thanks for the info! :balloons:

I SWEAR, everytime I look at the program guide, it's always something about doctors: "The Residents," "The Critical Hour"....

nice to see nurses getting their spotlight..I'll definitely have to watch, hoping it can show me the areas that will be available to me after I graduate!
