    @TheExperience: Wasn't that an entire storyline from ages ago? Like, that crazy woman who got obsessed with Dr. Greene finagled her way onto the nursing staff despite the fact she wasn't actually a nurse at all?

    @TheExperience: I think there was also a storyline involving a guy who escaped from the psych ward and was pretending to be a doctor. But his advice was so good and he was so engaging and logical that he wandered around the ER for an entire day without getting caught.

    I assumed doctors check with the state board that licenses nurses before hiring any nurse.

    I know doctors are busy people and all, but seriously, it takes like .5 seconds to run a search for "Connecticut Nursing Association," maybe slightly longer if you went to a clearinghouse-type site for various medical organizations in the country.
    It seems like spending a few minutes checking someone's qualifications would be preferable to fending off a lot of lawsuits that would very likely come down the pike if the person turns out to be a fake. But that's just me.

    @wtfox?!: 'Zackly. I can find my own RN license online in about two minutes; why couldn't somebody in the doc's office do the same thing?
    What really scares me is that it took a patient complaint for anybody to look into this.

    What's with California lately? Bad budget, anti-gay legislation and now it's giving nurses the shaft. Next thing you know they'll be fucking up elections like Florida.

    I think it's interesting to see examples of women covering their hair outside of the Muslim community. It's such a polarizing issue in that context, yet nobody bats an eyelash at these nurses, or, for example, nuns.

    He represents the Tyrrhenian sea, part of the monument to Victor Emmanuel II. And yes, he does have an ackwardly placed wolf in between his legs.
