  2. Better pay if Bilingual?

    Atheos replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

  7. Students Smoking During Clinical Hours

    Atheos replied to lglnurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Atheos replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Atheos replied to Labor&DeliveryRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    English, Spanish, Arabic and Farsi. I believe speaking multiple languages allows a nurse to be a better advocate for their patients. How can you advocate or care for someone when you don't understand...

  20. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital
