These links discuss how popular television programs portray nurses and the stereotypes we would like to see changed.
Nursing In The Media, Nursingadvocacy.org
- December 28, 2004: 2nd Annual Golden Lamp Awards: The Center ranks best and worst media portrayals of nursing for 2004, Nursingadvocacy.org:"The Center for Nursing Advocacy has issued its list of the best and worst media portrayals of the nursing profession that it has seen during 2004. The list highlights portrayals--from television to the print media, from Dallas to South Africa--that the Center believes deserve recognition, for better or worse. Research shows that the news and entertainment media greatly affect public views and actions as to health care, so improving nursing's media image is a critical step in resolving the nursing shortage that now threatens lives worldwide."
- ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."
Kicking Dr. Phil's a!! to the curb*:"Hello, and thank you. (Applause.) Thank you so much. Today we have with us Dr. Phil McGraw, a clinical psychologist for over 25 years. A man with a successful, nationally syndicated daily television show. And a man who earlier today suggested on the air that the health care system is full of "cute little nurses" who are out to "seduce and marry" physicians "because that's their ticket out of having to work as a nurse."
- NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."

"Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " November 20, 2003 -- Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..."
