Even though nurses were featured in a limited way, I did enjoy Strong Medicine when it was on the air, on Lifetime.

I liked Mercy--it was only on one season in 2009, but was good...

I loved that show! I'm sad they took it off the air ?

Specializes in Oncology/hematology.

ER will always have a place in my heart for the most well depicted nurses--- always overworked, fighting with management about staffing, dealing with idiot docs and knowing their stuff.

People here keep talking about Grey's Anatomy--- the only time they had a nurse in the plot was when she had syphilis or he was horny and being unprofessional with dr. Baily or when they were striking.... common!

Never seen nurse Jackie... maybe i'll give it a try....

I have not read through all the posts yet but Call the Midwife was an awesome series. I think I watched all of them back to back over a week or so, with tissues in hand. Amazing stories.

"Call the midwife" on Netflix is an amazing show that every nurse would love!

I completely agree about Grey's Anatomy! Completely ridiculous!! When I realized what was going on I was so disgusted I stopped watching it immediately! And also when Sandra Oh's character insulted a nurse on the show in a way that was totally degrading - it left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I now watch Emily Owens MD on netflix - not completely about nurses and not completely about doctors but about nurses and doctors.

I think it's called The London Hospital. On amazon prime. About nurses at The London in the 1800s. Loved it!

LOVE "Call The Midwife". That is a FABULOUS show that I can really relate to as a home health nurse.

I also really liked the first season of HawthoRNe. Second and third seasons got a bit annoying (for my own personal reasons, haha), but I loved a show centered around nurses. Can't believe that TNT canceled it!

Emily Owens MD isn't a nursing show, but it actually included nurses more, and I like the main character. It wasn't as pompous or wildly inaccurate as House MD, for sure.
