Nurses

It was an interesting concept to have a show called "Nurses" written by aliens who had never been to Earth, from some planet that doesn't have hospitals. But this show managed to find such writers, and the results are absolutely hilarious (unless you were hoping for an accurate hispital drama).

Looking forward to further episodes. But this time I'll invite in friends from the medical profession and we'll play a drinking game. Every time someone shouts "Noooooo!!!!" or "That would never happen!", they have to take a sip of their drink. Real nurses will be hammered by the first ad.

I'm in Health care so thought I'd see what it was like. Really had high hopes. but the first 15 mins, I already had issues with it. You'd think they'd have Nurses or other medical staff on their writing staff. Not sure if they do after seeing the first episode. Too bad. Maybe I'll give it a second chance but for now, very disappointed.

I was not expecting anything realistic and wanted to like this show. The best way to describe it is a bad knock off of other shows. Bad writing, Cliche stories and annoyingly predictable.

I don't know where these nurses are supposed to work, but I really want a job there. One patient each, a different area every day, able to toddle off any time they like. Seriously, has no one thought to ask actual nurses? The writers don't even seem to know the difference between Canadian and American health care. So bad I can't even rate it.

So disappointed. Where are the experienced nurses? Why are all the nurses brand new and just out of school? This show is completely unbelievable.

Who is advising on this show? I read that there are "real medical professionals on hand to keep it as accurate as possible". Seriously? Even a just little bit of accuracy would allow me to get past all this and enjoy it. Right now it's a bunch of 20-somethings with little to no experience running a trauma ER. Whoever the producers hired to advise are completely out of touch with how things are in our profession. Grey's Anatomy was well advised and it was believable, so the reviews comparing this show to it are obviously not written by anyone familiar with the nursing profession or anyone who has actually been in an ER.

I had such high hopes for this after reading and loving Tilda Shalof's books (which apparently inspired the producers of this show?!). Change it up- get a balance of experienced and novice nurses and a new *nursing* advisory crew!
