1. English As A Second Language

   emtqro88 replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

   klone, and others that pointed out the difference between interpretation and translation, are absolutely correct. The terms are not interchangeable. And actually I do both translation and interpretation. And I just slapped myself on the wrist for bei...

2. English As A Second Language

   emtqro88 replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry that happened. Actually, I worked for several years in Mexico as a Paramedic and I had to learn Spanish. There were a few times when some nurses made fun of me, and one time a medical student made fun of me. I was a bit hurt, but I just used it...

3. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

   emtqro88 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, it helps. As long as it is with the intention to help me understand what kind of patient it is and what kind of interactions I may have.

4. First job... I can’t take it anymore. I feel like I’m being bully and out of place.

   emtqro88 replied to hnwarden's topic in Career Support

   PCU is a nightmare, stay away from it. Its all the bedside work you do not seem to like in ICU plus walky-talky, grumpy patients. I wouldn´t worry too much. If you do not like bedside care, then go for home health or school RN. Good luck

   emtqro88 replied to shayjulia's topic in Career Support

   You hate science? You will fit right in as a nurse. Do I agree with that? No. I would like to see nursing become closer with science. But the nursing profession wants to stay as far away from true science as possible. My coworkers always say how much...

7. Which would you take: Day shift on Med-Surg unit or Night shift in dream job?

   emtqro88 replied to Seastar135's topic in Job Hunt

   Take the dream job. If you hate nights, just stick it out for a year or two then you should be able to easily transition into days, or travel as an RN. If you have an opportunity to work the dream job take it, don´t let it pass by. Getting out of a...

8. Nbody wants to hire a NEW GRAD!

   emtqro88 replied to justronalyne's topic in Job Hunt

   where do you live? Here in Vegas I am confident that the vast majority of new grads are hired. HCA hospitals love them. If you are willing to move it will probably be easier.
