New Seasons – Are you Ready for More?

The season premiere of HOUSE was last night. I was excited about it, but it was rather disappointing. There was not major drama where they couldn’t figure out why someone was sick. Instead Dr. House was checked into a detox program. A TWO hour season premiere of House’s experience of getting clean, really? Sure there was a little drama with some of the other patients, but no where near what it could have been.

Wednesday on NBC there is a new show airing called MERCY. It’s a medical show (of course what else do I watch). This one takes on the perspective of the nurses though. Finally, is this going to be a show that puts nurses in a good light or is it going to be one more show we have to battle in order to change the general perspective of the public? If it is a show that puts nurses in a good light – how long is it going to last?

So I’m sure that you are all as excited as I am about the Grey’s Anatomy season premiere this week!! (Clearly, who wouldn’t be?) It’s got love it’s got drama, not to mention that the previews were intense.

(And really after last year’s season fanale they need to be.)

Did Issy really die? Is the mystery man really George? Or is George still alive and kickin? All questions that we’ll find the answers to on THURSDAY!!

And finally (although not premiering until Oct. 1st) is Private Practive. The show we all thought wasn’t coming back after last season…is back!

Is Violet going to die? Where is the baby? And what’s up with Naomi taking a new job? Yes we actually get to find out the answers to these questions (hopefully)! But not until next week. Oh the anticipation!

Grey’s Anatomy anyone?

There is no hospital drama like what you see in Grey’s Anatomy. Doctors sleeping with residents and interns. Interns stealing bodies to practice their skills on. All I can say is Drama, Drama, Drama!

Is this what I have to look forward to in coming years as a soon to be nurse?

The portrayals of health care professionals are untrue, but sadly what a lot of people think of when they describe various members of the health care team.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Grey’s Anatomy (and all the other medical shows out there). What nurse doesn’t?

But that doesn’t mean I agree with how Hollywood portrays us (mostly speaking from a nursing perspective here). We are not sluts, we don’t sleep around and really, no hospital has that much drama. It’s all great for TV dramas, but come on folks! Don’t believe everything you see on TV is a true portrayal of how things are in real life!!
