How I justify............

.............Watching Grey's Anatomy

I know, it is a ridiculous soap opera set in a hospital, but I can't help myself.  Every Friday I look forward to watching the newest episode on line.   And, (BONUS!) I actually understand the diagnoses and medical terminology.  It helps me apply what I am learning in a real world context...........seriously.   Granted, most doctors do not spend that much time with patients;  that is what the nurses do.  In real life Izzy would have been fired for falling in love with her patient and Meredeth would have never worked as a doctor again after skewing a clinical trial.  I guess it makes for good drama.    Who watches T.V. for real life, anyway?

  But, T.V. drama aside, I can actually review and apply Nursing School stuff as I watch.  I do make an effort to think critically, analyze the pathophysiology of what the disease of the week is (I have actually done online research while watching).  I come up with nursing interventions for the patient.  Does this make me a little odd?  Maybe.................but I am not ashamed to admit it :0)

Thanks for every other informative site. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such an ideal means? I have a venture that I’m just now operating on, and I have been on the look out for such information. patrick mackaronis
