  2. Any nurses with anxiety/ bi polar?

    I find that my anxiety has actually worked for the betterment of my residents. It makes me reflect more often, check behind myself, check behind others (not to find fault but just to ensure things are transcribed, noted or addressed as they should be...
  3. Can This Be fixed? LTC

    I recently took a position as RN Supervisor for night shift. Unfortunately I'm not seeing the teamwork. For example, one night an LPN calls me on the other unit and says, "Just giving you a heads up but we may get a complaint tomorrow because a resid...
