Cali Nurse: New reality show REALLY?
Posted by Sean on July 7, 2010
So there is a casting call out for this new TV show titled ‘Cali Nurse’. It’s being dubbed a ‘sexy docu-series’.
Check it out:
The show is seeking real nurses and nursing students, but the casting material makes clear that it is going to focus on damaging stereotypes. The show wants "gorgeous" young females (ages 21-30 only) who will experience "comedy, romance, and fun" and are all about "big hearts" and "dates with McDreamy."
REALLY?!
SERIOUSLY??!!
Just how many levels of disrespect does this cover? I mean because that’s what nurses are all about right?
We don’t actually think on our feet, use critical thinking skills, or dare I say – save lives!
*sigh*
And you wonder why there is such an information-gap and delusional fog of mystery between what really happens in health care and nursing and what we see on TV? The quest continues.

Yes, the media loves to misrepresent nurses any chance they get.

This show is beyond insulting! I cannot believe that these producers are belittling the knowledge and professionalism of nurses and nursing students by creating a show like this. Thanks for sharing!
