1. What exactly happens when someone coughs up a nasty trach plug? Is it sputum or gastric contents?
2. If you can't tell the difference in #1, should they let you graduate as a nurse practitioner? I probably p*$s% off our NP student, but last time I checked, lungs should not (regularly) contain gastric contents.
3. What does no really mean in any language (pick several, but we're all speaking English--American, anyway--here)? When you refuse to see my patients (or in our local speak: decline) and say no, I take it to mean, NO you will not see them. Yes, there is a communication gap here.
Sorry if you don't like what your boss says to you after that when I tell him/her. Not exactly my problem. If I could write orders for what the patient wanted, I'd be practicing medicine, not being a nurse.
The color of the sky, football teams, and crabby patients are all up next. We'll see how the week progresses.
Stay tuned.

Now I know why...
The Hotel requires fluent nurses, since you just have to ask ahead of time.
I guess they were so busy that the nurse manager didn't get an interview and just did not pick up on that little tidbit that most likely would not have escaped notice in a verbal interview.(scratches head)
Wow!
More to come...
