As a nurse I am always annoyed when I am watching a T.V show that is based in and around a hospital and the actors don't correctly portray nurses and doctors. Mislabeled diseases, incorrect terms, wrong facts etc. - just make these shows unrealistic and not enjoyable...

The actress, Jada Pinkett Smith, fired the entire technical crew working behind the scenes of her Hospital based T.V show "Hawthorne". Smith's mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones who worked as a nurse for her entire life, criticized the authenticity of the show's subject matter. As a result Smith hired an entire new crew in order to ensure that the show would be genuine. "...Things like how we put the cap back on the needle, or how we inject the needle, or how we resuscitate. (It's) very specific and we got a lot of nurses last year emailing and saying, 'We like the show but you're not really doing this and this.' At the end of the season I had a six-page email (from her mum). But this year she helped make a much better show, so kudos to her."
Bottom line...nurses know their stuff :)
