Nurses
Tuesdays 10:00 PM on NBCNurses Season 1 Episode 9: "Mirror Box" Quotes
Sometimes you see yourself reflected in a mirror, and sometimes reflected in someone else. It might be someone you miss or someone you feel for. Or it might be someone you never thought you'd be again. And sometimes, it might just be the you you're finally ready to be.

You can't force yourself into someone's life, even if you know you're good for them, 'cause if they can't give you what you need, you have to let them go.

Noelle: What if he's right? What if I am a bad nurse?
Grace: But you aren't. You know, I was ... afraid of him too. Right up until he tried to get me to sign the NDA. And that's when I knew that he was afraid of me. And he's afraid of you too, Noelle. That's why he got you to sign. He knows that either of us could take him down with our stories. Now imagine what we could do, together.
Grace: Look, I know what you're gonna say. I was stupid, and I risked nuking my ovaries for nothing.
Sinead: Your ovaries are not my concern; your complete lack of judgment is! Why are you not wearing a lead apron? Stay back! You exposed yourself to radiation!
Grace: My patient collapsed. What was I supposed to do?
Sinead: make sure she doesn't collapse!
Grace: She was dehydrated and her blood sugar was elevated.
Sinead: You should have started an IV before she went into isolation!
Grace: The only person who was at risk here was me!
Sinead: You're damn right. The peer review finds mistakes in your charts, instances of poor judgment. Seeing this, I understand why.
Grace: What does that mean?
Sinead: It means they're opening up an official case with standards and practice. They'll be an investigation. You're suspending pending the review! Now, hit the shower and get out!
Grace: Do you think that we can get it back? The people that we used to be?
Quinn: Yeah. But you gotta push out all the poison that changed you first. And it ain't easy. Takes a lot of guts.
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your own reflection when you weren't expecting it, and thought, who is that person, and how does she look so put together? When what you're actually feeling is that your hair is on fire?
