loved what you said: "complainers love an audience". this is so very true. we all know that everyone complaines once in a while which is normal, but if you have someone who complains on a day to day basis, this person is like a parasite who is feedin...

you are so..........correct in stating that you must speak their language. there are so...many bad cna's and i don't get it. i have had to deal with some really nasty ones who will actually lie about what has been done with the patient. at first, i w...

Just imagine ALL the MANY others that have gone through the same thing, and nothing done about it!!

no one should ever die alone!

shame on all who were involved in turning a blind eye to this situation!!!

you are so.....right as you do not need to leave the country to help others in need. there also does not need to be any tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, as we know, in order to volunteer to those thousands who are living without basic medical needs as wel...

Thank you for bringing this up as the USA REALLY needs help from medical teams such as nursing, MD and Dentists. I am thankful for all the many people who do go overseas to help, but wish we could first "clean up our own backyard" so to strengthen t...

i agree, as i also have had wonderful experiences dealing with all cultures. however, there are some dr's. (as noted in op) that can be very rude and indifferent of other cultures outside their own and have no problem letting you know as i've witnes...

That's just the point, all dr's, nurses that travel outside their country are given documents, classes, etc that are the norms for the particular country they are relocating to. If the dr. had a problem he could have talked with someone about it, bu...

You obviously have a right to your opinions, but going back on all your posts it seems that you are defending this dr.as if you know him on a personal level. Have you ever worked outside the US? Believe me, there are tons of paper work and docs. to...

If you go back to the OP, you will see he is not from America. The posts relate to OP's concerns. Again, when one comes to America to practice there are papers to sign, read etc.; all about the norms, proceedures, policy etc, about America; thus, t...

whatever culture one comes from is fine, but when working in america then one needs to abide by the contract signed before coming here to work. no need to be rude to anyone, especially a peer that works with/for you; and if not allowing a nurse to l...

See my post next page

i simply stated my opinion on an op and did not "judge" this doctor, but exposed something that happens almost daily in many hospitals. i cannot begin to say what happened during that conversation (as you note) but will comment on what the original ...

I'm sorry if you thought i was being rude to you. Not at all. I only wanted you to stick to the OP and not stray fro the original comments that have already been made. Again, I was not rude in any way, however, if you believe I was this was not my ...

if you remember your history, then explaining this question would be null. once again i will explain from the first posts that was posted many months ago; if a person from another country applies to the usa to work here as a doctor, nurse they are ...

:confused:

This is not a case of who is right or wrong. When in America, do what is expect of you and that is use good sound values, morals and respect for others. When medical professionals (or anyone for that matter) come to America they receive a packet (a...

very true, however, if you come to america then you are expected to respect the way our profession is. when i am talking with a doctor i expect him to give me the same respect he expects from me. look in the eye of the speaker. it's polite and it ...

Again off the original post, hower this statement is very true and I'm happy to comply if ever in such a situation. Just read a book and stay to yourself. lol,lol,..but true I'm sure!:yeah:

I believe we are talking about eye contact when dealing on a one to one in our professions: dr to nurse, nurse to patient etc; not total strangers riding in a train. I think you lost the point of the first post. When a nurse is speaking with a dr i...

I'm with you, as long as everyone entering is legal!

AMEN!!!

unfortunately, you are correct!! so many older graduates do face this kind of discrimination since employers want the young nurses' due to longevity instead of giving due consideration for life experiences. why would any employer pay for internships...

i think we need to look at curiousme's point, as its well taken by many. if one comes to america it's for many reasons, however it's not to make american's bow down to "another's" culture. before going to another country, one should be intelligent ...
