It feels like it's 500 to 1with workers from abroad at my facility. Most everybody from abroad has 2, 3, 4, 5, family members employed at the same place. When I know some who can't get in the door no matter what. Everyone who has earned a nursing license worked hard for it.

I've worked nights before and sometimes it's possible for it not to be a big deal for staff to go off and leave you on the floor when you know where the others are and how to get to them if you need them. What's a bigger problem to me is the exclusion. It's absolutely rude and on the hurtful side. And what can make speaking in other languages so callous is when a person says something in a way that they want you to know it's mean and regarding you. And sometimes the person they're saying it to will look at you in your face during their conversation. It's also very mean when people are speaking in English and then instantly change the conversation to the other language when you walk in the room or walk past. This is an example of cluelessness. Why do they feel that them and their conversations are that important to others that they have to change up the language?

Charge nurses, supervisors, nurse managers, a lot of them do not care. They might give a speech every now and then because sometimes even patients complain. There is never any change. If they really cared, respect toward's co-workers would be enforced. Especially when everyone speaks perfectly fluent English.

Much love to all cultures and races but It's hard to understand how some can be in the U.S. for more than 20, 30 years and not care to understand basics such as how are you?

This is true.

So True.

Thanks for that idea, taking the shoes off in the car. Probably shouldn't worry about it either though.

Thank You. It should be worth the effort to wipe both the tops and bottoms of your shoes with sanitizer. What is a mudroom?

Where/when do you take off your shoes after leaving work and reaching your home? Does it seem your entryway is contaminated?

Thank You Daytonite. This is real critical thinking. Next time I'll try to relax and not stress and ideas such as the ones you listed might come to me. Wow, you thought of a huge range of detals I could have wrote about. This will be of great help to me (opening my thinking) in the future.

I need help writing a Journal Note pertaining to my clinical experience at an adult daycare facility, specifically with the question: What nursing knowledge did you apply when caring for or assessing your clients? My day there consisted of taking and recording VS's. I planned watercoloring as an activity and did that with a group, completed a mini-mental exam, functional/behavioral assessment (listed these as objectives met for Geri), interviewed a senior for a life story essay. Used idea of senescence, declining hearing, vision etc. for How did I apply theory to clinical exp. Feel like I have a block. I'm wasting time with this, not reading for exam because I can't get this note completed. Aslo having trouble with: Did you observe cultural differences in the way geri client adapts psychosocially to aging. I would really appreciate your help.
