Hawthorne was a phenomenal TV-Series that brought a lot of drama, romance, sad moments, emotional moments overall etc. Despite audiences who didn't love it. Hawthorne still stands as a outstanding show because there's lots audiences who did love it. Jada Pinkett-Smith was a true hero in this one to her patients. She putted on a great performance and she brought her best and another side of her that we never seen before. The cast was electrifying. It sucks that they ended the show after the finale. Hawthorne should have continued because this was a great show they brought a great impact and it was great to have Marc Anthony a part of the team. I agree with most of the reviews Jada putted on a great character and the entire cast and guest stars were unbelievable great. The show should make a comeback and we wouldn't miss for the world. A great hospital drama creation.

First of all...here's what I like about this show: It's highly entertaining, has interesting characters, and Jada is very likable as playing the role of Super Nurse Extraordinaire (aka Nurse Hawthorne). I like how this show portrays the role of a nurse in a more positive light...As opposed to "Nurse Jackie" portraying a nurse as a junkie and a slut...Which I find to be very offensive to nurses in real life...This show does not do that.Critical review: It's far-fetched in the sense that NO nurse in real life goes out of their way like Nurse Hawthorne does!!! It's just doesn't happen...But with that being said--it's what you would LIKE to see nurses be like! You'd love to have a no-nonsense, caring crusader for the patients in need...I give it an A for entertainment...It's a feel-good show!!

Seriously, does anybody believe that a chief nursing officer has time for patients? In the real world, even the nurses have to make an appointment to see her.Where is your budget headache Christina?How many JCAHO issues do you have on your plate to resolve?What sort of feathers are you pursuing for the nursing caps? Magnet? Speciality certifications? Anything???In all the hospitals I've worked, I have NEVER seen the CNO on a first name basis with patients and families or even the staff beyond her circle of management nurses. If a family has a complaint, it goes to the patient care advocate, not the CNO. Sure, RN is the first in the list of alphabet soup behind her name, but you can bet your *** you'll find MBA in there too. CNO is not a "nurse" position, it is an executive position.Ridiculous show and an insult to real nurses who get how it is in the real world.

God, I loathe this show. I've given it 3 watchings and it just gets worse and worse. Please, don't anybody think this is representative of any real nurses in any real hospital on the planet Earth. Nurses, especially ER nurses, do not have time to discuss their "relationships" at length while at work, or interfere in patients personal lives. That male nurse and the blonde nurse are both so dumb its amazing they ever got through nursing school. And why does Jada Pinkett Smith walk around with a mean, don't-cross-me look all the time? Unless of course she is being the patron saint of all nurses. Here's a recent exchange in the last episode: Patient: You really can perform miracles! Hawthorne: I try! Lord - hand me a bucket, projectile vomiting will commence in 5 seconds!
