this is pure entertainment...

(move over so you think you can dance for a moment)

there is this one show i am addicted right now... since it began last month... it became a tuesday habit to me...

a half an hour dark comedy about the title, nurse jackie, a flawed emergency room nurse in a NY hospital, who struggles to balance her life in and out of the hospital. a very unconventional story which revolve on her take on giving justice around the health care system with her fellow nurses, doctors, patients, as well as her family...

what i love about the show is the fact that it focuses on nurses (about time for us to have the limelight other professions got for a long time)... grey's anatomy, law and order, nypd blue to mention a few...
and strange as it my sound, in every episode, there's atleast a scene or two which for some reasons made me feel nostalgic and a little de javu... specifically with the student nurse zoey...

heres a dialogue between nurse jackie and the exuberant student nurse zoey, on the second episode...
zoey: i'm not sure that i can do this, i mean, you and momo you all so good at what you do, and doctors, OH MY GOD! there healers, and this place is so amazing, i got into nursing because i wanna help people and i'm afraid i'm just slowing you down.

nurse jackie:this job is waiting through a shitstorm of people who come into this place in the very worst day of their lives, just so you know doctors are here to diagnose not heal, we heal, all saints is in the business of flipping beds, that's it, end of story, the fact that you have even the slightest inclination to help people puts you miles ahead of one hundred percent of the population, so stop crying, ok buck up, if you need to cry go do it in the ladies room, is that clear?

i may not like nursing that much,
but at some point in my life i live and breathe it...
so this is not surprising...
maybe because of this show, i will find my way back to liking it...
who knows... maybe, maybe not...

for the moment....
this is pure entertainment...

(nung umatend ako last year ng convention ng philippine nurses association, nabanggit dun na magkakaroon din ng teleserye na nars, di pa sigurado ang pamagat, pero nasabi dun na sa abscbn ito ipapalabas at pagbibidahan ni judy ann)

proud pinoy ako at di ako talaga nanglalait... pero really????? hay...
