   lazz1 replied to ufo8micats's topic in Florida

   Florida is the worst state to work in for LPN's and RN's. Experienced, smart and well trained LPN's are treated like PCTs. They are not even allowed to check blood sugar at my hospital in Fort Lauderdale. I'm an RN, and we too are treated poorly. ...
