America’s RN union is collecting reviews and opinions by nurses about the show, which we’ll share with the executive producers. If you’re a nurse, drop by RNVoices.net to add your thoughts—we’re running a commercial on HawthoRNe to let RNs know. You can also learn about the national nurses movement and our new legislation for national safe RN-to-patient ratios….

Nurse Jackie had that same cruel wit to it, but I don’t know if I can take watching 2 shows back to back where I hate the main characters. Although Jackie at least has a duality about her that gives her redeeming qualities (something none of the weeds characters, even the kids, have). I dunno, I’ll watch the second episode and see where they go with it.

When I was in nursing school, the faculty was REALLY upset about Nurse Ratched. They felt she damaged our Professional Image. We students felt it was kinda Ratched-like to take her so seriously, and used to play “Charmaine” at all our parties.
