I know, I couldn't help but get distracted by the noncompliance with BLS and ACLS. There was a scene when she started a round of compressions and immediately the doc told her to pause to do a pulse check. Also the first code scene, they were shocking without even checking the rhythm. And her turning patients on her own, WTF?? Maybe it's because I live in California where there are ratios, but I will never EVER turn a patient on my own. Still enjoyed the movie though. Probably the most accurate portrayal of nursing on tv/movies.

Lot of people turn patients on their own, unfortunately.

I thought the general running of the codes were accurate but expedited/simplified. At least they included pulse checks, breathing, compressions, epi, more than most shows do. But yea, could have been more accurate. But definitely words better than any other medical movie or tv show I've seen. Especially using accurate equipment, like the trach ties, the correct vent tubing, correct rhythm during the code.
