Sarah's Emergency Room: think Doctor Dash
by Kevin Kelly 
{ Jul 8th 2008 at 11:00PM }
The game is being developed for the Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC platforms and allows you to assume the role of a graduate nursing student named Sarah as she moves from California to manage a busy emergency room in Arkansas. There "she discovers that managing an emergency room is a bit harder than she expected." Nothing like gender stereotyping with a female nurse who thinks life is hard. What's next, Sarah's Lunch Rush Hour where she runs coffee and waffles?

Why can't they just make Diner Dash for the consoles as well?

YES! Diner Dash for consoles!
Also, this reminds me of when I used to play Theme Hospital way back in the days...

Because the game would probably suck with a controller. There's a DS version of diner dash that works pretty well b/c of the stylus but the psp version, I can't imagine having to play with the analog stick.

Um, I have no idea how this game works, but as an RN I can vouch nursing to actually be a good choice for time management skills..... they could use this in nursing time managemnet class lol.

I kinda like the premise of this game.

Ok, first of all...No one would ever move from California to ARKANSAS, not even with a nursing job that paid in the triple digits.

Couldn't they just have remade Theme Hospital?

Was theme hospital that popular? Oh man, I LOVED playing that game.
You know I think I will go find it and play right now.
Ebers @ Jul 9th 2008 12:29AM
Not sure if it was that popular, but it was damn entertaining. Heaped Piles...that still makes me crack up.
Aw man, there are so many of those old PC strategy games that I should go back and play...anyone remember Dungeon Keeper? SimTower was another one. I couldn't stop playing that game. Screw creating a race of walking phalluses in Spore, I wanna build a tower utopia.

"Nothing like gender stereotyping with a female nurse who thinks life is hard."
Very few people, male or female, are prepared for how much work being in the medical field actually is. This statement speaks more about your preconceived notions than those of the original press release writer.
