    leslie :-D replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Opinion

    "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    and once again, this thread is not about the value or bigotry, for or against foreigners. it is about the ability of pts to understand what is being said to them. this would then, apply to americans...

    "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    i'm with you, crunch. perhaps if people made it about the pt's needs, then they wouldn't take it so personally... and could stop making it about themselves. only then, could they understand what most...

    "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    leslie :-D replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    clear, concise, and effective communication is a necessity, and not something you put on your wish list. whether we americans should or shouldn't learn another language, is a moot point. the bottom...

    Shhhh! ---It's all a crock!

    leslie :-D replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    to me, that was their cavalier and derisive way of telling staff to 'keep it down'. their delivery sucked, the message was reasonable.
