   zicovico replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   From my perception, you sounds somewhat very judgmental. Why don't you try and give this new graduate the benefit of the doubt. By the way, what's wrong with mimicking British accent? Give her a break.

12. Is English required to be an RN?

    zicovico replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Safety

    Why the attack against foreign MDs? I guess you are talking about their accent or their way of communicating. "We used to laugh about them in the nursing home where I worked!" It is professional and ethical to laugh at somebody because of the way he ...

    zicovico replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Safety

    I think you are somewhat being judgmental. It is completely wrong and incomprehensible to judge someone's ability to perform based on his or her poor English and grammar. There is a clear distinction between practical and theory. Let's get that strai...
