ok, nursing/medical shows? get your shit together. it doesn't take that much longer to do things right- trust me, i've been an RN for thirty years. it really doesn't take any time at all to do it right.
what brought this on? decided to check out Three Rivers tonight.
oh, god, the amount of money spent on fancy monitors and yet you can't get the mask on the respiratory patient correctly? you can't wipe off the connections before giving IV meds? you can't put the rails up on people's beds? but you can have fbi escorts through bomb scares, and people go off to surgery without a signed consent or any kind of checklist even a nameband, and the transplant surgeon comes into OR with her hair hanging out of her cap? yes, it's great that you've got a female transplant surgeon- so why does she have to be sloppy? why aren't the nurses on top of their patients' vitals- oh, i know because nurses don't actually do anything, except steal drugs (nurse jackie) or sleep with the docs (mercy).
it'd be SO EASY to do these little things correctly. so easy. and give people just that much more of a fighting chance of understanding how things work when they go to the hospital. which would be nice, yanno? because we have enough to do, doing things right, without cleaning up misconceptions people get from your sloppy misleading television.
just sayin.
