Have you ever thought about what we must sound like to the average layperson when we use 'medicalese'? It's a language that flows as easily as our mother tongue after a few years in the business, but as I was lying in bed last night, wide awake long after sending a resident in flash pulmonary edema to the hospital, I got to thinking about the expressions we use in health care that must sound absolutely ridiculous to anyone who doesn't know the lingo. read more

I am a Registered Nurse from my country ---- this is how I qualify to sit for the test without going through the CNA program here.
