Since I began watching medical dramas for the reacts series, I've found more and more that nurses get overlooked within media.

Q: What's the funniest moment you've shared with your colleagues while working together?
A: I had to give a speech during National Nurses Week and made a joke about needing a White Russian, which some people found funny.
Q: Why do you think nurses deserve more credit for their work?
A: I think their work is minimized in shows like Grey's Anatomy or the Good Doctor, and it shouldn't be that way. They truly are the backbone of the healthcare industry.
