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!

Letters from the College Dorms

Dear Jason M from the Bachelor,

Love is an important thing and being with someone you love is important (I get that – really I do), but breaking up on national television is uncalled for. Just think of how different it would have been id you had talked privately with your fiance prior to the show. You never let her in or told her what you were feeling. Communication is key in any relationship. You were just recently on the other side of that situation, you knew how it felt, and yet you did it anyway – in front of thousands of people. I can’t wait to see what you do in “After the Rose Ceremony Part II”.

- Someone who believes in privacy

————————————————-

To Straight People who think they are better,

Members of the GLBT community are human too. They deal with the same things in their relationships that you deal with in yours. Except they also deal with crap from people like you. Partner abuse, getting kicked out, etc., doesn’t just happen in straight relationships. Get on with your life and let them live theirs. How they live their life does not have a direct affect on how you live yours so get over it.

Dear People in Need of Emergency Assistance,

If you get a busy signal when calling 911 for an EMERGENCY, just hang up and try again. There is a chance the person calling is just calling about a Fast Food Emergency and will be off the line shortly. To some, your emergency is not as important as McDonald’s running out of McNuggets and  refusing to refund the money (even though they offered something else). Don’t worry, your call is important and will be answered after we deal with the idiot who is going to die if they don’t receive their McNuggets.

-A college student who cares

Dear Future Parents of America,

Hold onto your hats, you could be the first generation to be able to have designer babies. We knew it was going to happen some day, well that day no longer seems all that far away. Currently, the US has no laws against it. But be careful – remember the Nazis and the Arian race. We could have a whole new Arian Race on our hands.

The Bachelor

Did anyone else watch the Bachelor tonight?

There’s Jason, he seems like a sweet guy. He’s been hurt before and he fell in love with two women (which doesn’t seem all that impossible given the situation he is put in), but what the heck is his problem? I completely understand wanting to follow his heart, but what I don’t understand is his need to destroy his fiance’s heart on national television.

He never even gave Melissa a chance. He spent all this time on the show talking about how he wanted someone who was going to be open with him. He was never open with her. She found out on the show (after he told the nation) that he couldn’t get Molly out of his head and that he was still in love with her.

Are you kidding me??

And what was Molly thinking?? Is she a fool. I know she said that she still loved him and she said that they would see where things would go, however, she was making out with him before the show was over. After the show was over my roommate had a great point: he has said “I love you” and “I can’t live without you” to FOUR women over the past THREE years.

How could a guy be so insensitive to break his fiance’s heart on NATIONAL TELEVISION????

I have been in a similar situation where I fell in love with a guy and he broke it off with me. I went back to him because I thought we were great together, we were in love. (Or so I was led to believe.) In reality, I was in love with ther person he was pretending to be. It ended up being worse the second time around.

Even though what he did was terrible, I hope he ends up happy, for his sake and for his son’s sake.

Live, Love, Learn, and Love again.

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!!
