Wednesday saw the season premiere of NBC's new nursing series, Mercy, and we want to know what you thought.
Many nurses hoped this show would be different from Showtime's Nurse Jackie and TNT's HawthoRNe. But as I read more and more comments on NBC's Web site from viewers who watched last night's premiere, it seems that Mercy is off to a rough start.
Even though NBC has the help of an RN consultant for story ideas and writing the script, many viewers are still upset with how nurse characters are portrayed in this new series.
Do you think there is hope for the rest of the season? Will you watch the next episode to see what will happen? Do you believe there is any truth to the nurse characters and story lines? Click here to respond with questions or ideas. Just click the comments link and let your voice be heard.
