If Cosmic Mojo's post is any indication, I stand corrected on how much of a misunderstanding there is about nurses and what we do.
actually I was just IN the hospital a few months ago, and being bored out of my gourd, observed closed what each person there did.
While important to my recovery, dispensing pills, taking my temperature, and sponge bathing me once were NOT exciting enough to make a TV show about. I could give you an hour by hour description of what each person (doctor, nurse, aide) did, but it was boring, outside of the accident, the surgery. The recovery is boring, no one would make a show about that.
THAT, was my point. NOT that nurses don't do good work. No one here contests that. What we contest is that the same thing makes for entertaining TV. Well, it doesn't. Just like my job would not make for entertaining TV. I don't take it personally and consider any different opinion a challenge to the validity of my career.
