 | Serial is a term, originating in literature, for a format by which a story is told in contiguous installments in sequential issues of a single periodical publication. |
 | Since its inception in 1994, "ER" has focused on the professional development and personal lives of a shifting cast of about 10 emergency department (ED) and surgical physicians, and the personal life of one ED nurse, at "County General," the main public hospital in Chicago. |
 | We dream of an "ER" in which major nurse characters confront the challenges of the last year of nursing school and their nursing boards, a show in which we see all the drama of their turbulent first year of practice, as we no doubt will for Lockhart and Rasgotra. |
