To watch "Grey's Anatomy," "ER," or "House," one would think that nurses push gurneys, drive romantic plots, and provide an attractive backdrop for the real action. But the reality is far more fascinating. By examining how nurses are portrayed in the media, The Center for Nursing Advocacy will change what we know about who nurses are, what their job is, and how it affects nurses and patients. Illuminating and destined to shatter stereotypes, "Saving Lives" spells out the greatest myths about nursing, with examples from film, television, ads, and other media, and juxtaposes them with the real stories of nurses. With historical context and in-depth analysis, it will change how we look at the healthcare system.
