    Being expected to speak patient's native language doesn't fall real high on my list of priorities for patient comfort,

    That is rude, however I have asked customer service reps to transfer me to another rep because I cannot understand them, or because they cannot understand the question I am asking. It's like their...

    Nooooo, they understand the value of SPEAKING ENGLISH. Just as some understand the value of speaking Spanish in the US. However, to insist upon someone speaking Spanish in America just because you do...

    I'm trying to see how you'd think she was insulted because someone ELSE doesn't speak English. I think she felt insulted because she was expected to speak a foreign language in her own country. Is...

    How come you don't work more?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd tell them that I value time with my kids over money and that I have enough money working 3-4 days a week. I hope some of them are only asking because they don't understand how shifts work or...

    New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They should, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My school is a hospital ASN program, and our nurse recruiter came over to school and said "If you haven't externed here it's going to be hard for you...

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    That's all well and good, but not really relevant to a smoking health care worker coming back in from smoking and taking care of patients. By all means, smoke wherever you please, when you're off the...

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    That's because it's not a valid point. What you're saying about obesity or alcoholism or drug use just simply isn't true. Please stop acting like we're all so tolerant of obese people or something....

    Smokers in Nursing School--How Are You Treated?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    "A lot" of nurses are "severely overweight?" Where do you work? Do you think you should change employers, or maybe relocate? Sorry dude but I live in what's been called the fattest city in the US and...

    Many people require breaks at work to drink alcohol? I was not aware of this!! I don't think the Boards of Nursing would be too happy about that either. If I drank at breaks and barfed on myself and...

    Aides being "nurses"

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to raebabelvn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm awfully new, but I am seeing this as a compliance issue. The NM is aware of a non-nurse performing duties outside the scope of practice, INJURING and KILLING patients, and is doing nothing about...

    IV starts in nursing school

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    With the exception of just being able to get the practice of how to go about doing it, agreed. They are useless as a substitute for a human though. A drunk monkey could start an IV on a dummy arm,...
