[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a trauma nurse and we all couldn't believe how accurate nurse Jackie could be. And there was a lot of pill abuse amount nurses at my hospital around that time too.[/quote] I'm a nurse (though not trauma) and although I liked the show/characters, I'm not sure I found it realistic. Venturing out on numerous breaks during a shift? Pleeeease. ;p Also, I guess it would be easier to sneak out narcs in an emergency room setting vs. the floor or unit. But of all the shows, I guess it's one of the most realistic ones. Nurses are usually just portrayed as background in medical dramas even though we spend the most time with patients. I understand that they have to make hospital dramas exciting and all about life/death decisions. But most of my time is spent following protocols, chasing doctors, keeping patients' families ( or should I say customers?) happy, and dealing with the administration's BS. [/quote]
