What do you think of nurses who can't spell medical terms?

[Mini-Murse]

Honestly, no personal attacks, but im curious..

I see posters on this forum who can't spell "cough" or "aspirin" or "Morphine" correctly.. and it really concerns me. I'm not really a grammar nazi, but when someone who claims to be an RN for a number of years and can't spell basic medicine or procedures, it makes me wonder how much harder it makes the job for their co-workers.

Thoughts?

Wait! Wait! WAIT! Hold the phone! It isn't!?!

O_o Toast on a sandwich!! I feel so stupid right now. I always thought it was one word.

For me it is "sometime", that is one word, right??

I have hard time pronouncing medical terms esps. medications. Does that make me sound stupid? Oh well, we all have our 'flaws'.
