Nurses who can't communicate with their Patients

helloooooo..... i am Asian and im working here in the hospital for 3 years now but i didn't hear any complaints about "not communicating" with my patients. In fact they like me and they understand me better esp my patients because i am more attentive, caring and can communicate well. I don't care if i have accent. Whats up with that? everybody has their own accent. Just accept the fact that many hospitals preferred to hire international nurses because we are more willing to work esp.overtime and we don't complain very much.

I work with a number of nurses from the Phillipines, and they're some of the smartest, nicest, hardest working people I've ever worked with. Their English language skills far exceed my skills in ANY foreign language, and most of them write very well. But many of them have very thick accents, and it's difficult even for me to understand them sometimes. Our patients, who may be sedated, confused, hard of hearing or just not used to the accent have even more difficulty. I think that can be a real problem.
