A spokesperson for the New York State Nurses Association says “we believe that the public’s view of nurses is influenced by TV dramas, and we have yet to see an accurate portrayal of what nurses really do.”

Come on people, it is just a TV show. Television is all about sensation and controvery that do one thing – increase ratings.

Do I think that all plastic surgeons are like the doctors portrayed on Nip/Tuck? Obviously not. If they were all like that, it would be a sick world. Come to think of it, are we the ones who are sick for watching these shows?

We know that all nurses are not like this. Nursing by far is still one of the noblest professions on this planet!
