Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

Published

Anyone watch 'The Walking Dead'? I love the show, but tonight, I got a little annoyed. Stupid reason too, because compared to most shows, even those that try to be medical shows, this one isn't all that bad.

But the Governor meets some friends, one of them is a nurse. She comes in to bandage a wound on his face, uses some kind of disinfectant to clean it, then frickin BLOWS ON IT!!! Ugh, dug my nails into my hand to stop myself from yelling in exasperation.

Why, oh why, when they depict nurses on tv, can they not spend a little extra money to at least do it right?!

Ok, rant done. Lol.

Anyone ever seen the Mindy project? I think the show is funny but it's portrayal of nurses is awful. The nurses are all very ditzy and dumb. They don't even have common sense. They work in an obgyn office and there's one male nurse that's a felon and just got out of prison, one is an klepto older mean lady and one is portrayed as a super super dumb stereotypical ghetto girl. They never show them doing anything medical but, they go to the hospital with the Drs and sit with them in the drs lounge?? Lol[/quote']

Well, to be fair, although I've only seen like 5 minutes of that show, Mindy doesn't seem like the sharpest tool either, and she's an MD right?

On last weeks Trophy Wife they all had lice. The school nurse was very incompetent. At the end of the episode the little boy said "when I grow up I want to be a school nurse." His mom said "why?" The boy said "Because anyone can do it!"

have you watched any Media lately? you ought to see how they're portraying nurses there.

Other than that, the reality portrayed is OK? ;)
