Meet nurse to consider medical TV show (9)

I believe the answer is:

encounter

'meet' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'nurse to consider medical tv show' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'EN' (abbreviation for enrolled nurse).
'to consider' becomes 'count' (eg counting or considering something as important).
'medical tv show' becomes 'ER' (US medical drama).
'en'+'count'+'er'='ENCOUNTER'

(Other definitions for encounter that I've seen before include "Meet; confrontation" , "Face" , "Unexpected meeting" , "Struggle" , "Meet by chance with encore nut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
