520    Popular TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, ER, and House lead 
       people to think that nurses simply push gurneys, drive 
       romantic plots, and provide an attractive backdrop for the
       real action. However, 12 million nurses worldwide know the
       reality is far more fascinating, demanding, and important.
       Written by the leaders of The Truth About Nursing, the 
       organization at the forefront of challenging and changing 
       representations of nurses, Saving Lives is destined to 
       change the way people look at the essential role nurses 
       play within the U.S. healthcare system. It explores the 
       public's perception of nurses and spells out the greatest 
       myths about nursing, drawing on examples from television 
       shows, ads, news, and other media. Saving Lives exposes 
       the media's role in the nursing shortage and the often 
       dismissive public perception of nursing. But it is also a 
       call to action. Saving Lives offers concrete steps to help
       nurses, and those who support them, educate the public 
       about nursing.
