Ricky Gervais monologue at Golden Globes. "You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world."

Nurses are expected to speak and write correctly, It's part of their job.

Of all the people in my family that have been hospitalized I can’t think of one that cared about the nurses’ grammar. My dad’s favorites were always the most country ones.

I know many who are hombre , you either don’t know what you are talking about or like I said your sister is a horrible charge nurse for getting rid of people that don’t use “ proper grammar “ .

That's exactly that they do at hospitals like Vanderbilt, St. Thomas and Centennial. Getting rid of nurses for not shoring up their grammar doesn't make a charge a nurse a horrible one. It makes her a damn good one for demanding excellence

Most patients don't care. It's the bosses that care and rightly so. There's a HUGE difference between the quality of care you get from nurses at a top flight hospital vs. what you get at small local hospitals

My whole family is full of nurses , I grew up with them , friends of the family are nurses and Drs. Not once in my entire life have I ever heard of one nurse being fired for not using “ proper grammar “ . I’ll be glad to look at any proof you have of that .

You're full of sh!t. I love it when liars start thinking they are telling the truth.

There are plenty of inept ones with perfect grammar too. Fostering active toddlers with G-tubes they occasionally can come out and we have to make a trip to the ER. Sometimes they have to get the surgeon to get one back in and sometimes they just pop back in. On a couple occasions I’ve had a nurse try to use the wrong connector to flush the new G-tube and one actually did while I’m telling her it won’t work. Of course she ruined it so we had to take the one out that we just caught hell putting in and replace it with another one all while dealing with a distraught toddler. Had another nurse that tried to directly flush/inject the G-tube with saline.

No, it's for this reason. No one wants someone who sounds uneducated taking care of their critically ill loved ones.

I sound uneducated? Explain that please.

 

[NorthDallas40]

There is a bit of irony that the right is championing Gervais, whose only credential is that he is a celebrity, telling other celebrities not to tell people what to do or say just because they are celebrities.

“Championing”? LMAO some of us have already pointed out that Gervais isn’t a champion of the right. He’s a liberal and an atheist which is what made him tearing into the Hollywood elitist douches even more hilarious. Hardly “championing” more like this actually.

Wtf would the boss care? A facility should be worried about quality of care and patient comfort. If I heard a c suite person worried about front line employee grammar I’d think they need better priorities.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

Apparently there’s not a nurse shortage, there’s a proper grammar nurse shortage.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

One isn't exclusive of the other. Sad that you think so. Plenty of highly skilled nurses use proper grammar. In fact, most quality, high level heath care providers won't accept anything less

You just made them exclusive in your last sentence, didn't you?

 

[0nelilreb]

The bosses don’t care , you don’t fire nurses for not using proper grammar that are doing their jobs . Those two were talking out of their azzes and then doubling down on it .

 

[1972 Grad]

Is there anyone in your family that isn't a pompous a$$?

Good observation!

 

[1972 Grad]

wow, if there's a problem with their work ethic or their critical thinking skills you axe them. Pretty bold authoritarian tactic for the nursing shortage going on. So your sister would be why the phrase " nurses eat their own" exists. Got it.

Only lesbian nurses eat their own.

 

[BowlBrother85]

So tell what is wrong with my sentence? And if you don't know what the "hard of hearing" reference is about, read a little more.

I wasn't talking about anything you said... I was referring to the triple negative that I highlighted above.

 

[1972 Grad]

No, it's for this reason. No one wants someone who sounds uneducated taking care of their critically ill loved ones.

I have watched my entire family die, under the care of some very compassionate nurses, and never once did I concern myself with their grammar.

She nor I give AF what you think.

Commas and capitalization are your friends. They are the difference between "stop this bus, and let my brother Jack, off," and "stop this bus , and let my brother jack off."

He , nor I , would ever make it as a nurse .

Why is there no period after the word correctly? I was under the impression that "It's part of their job" would be another sentence.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

actually medical charts involve mostly short hand and abbreviations, and are rarely grammatically correct

It's specifically because of written medical orders we went to electronic charting in ICU/CCU 14 years ago. Transcription problems, dosing issues and people just could not read a physicians orders. It was a mess.

 

[1972 Grad]

You don’t know that. Maybe I’m a phlebotomist.

I don't consider people who fit glasses as part of the medical profession.

It's a lost cause 72. The little jack wads are ignorant to what it takes to live and thrive.
