If he already knows it all then he is unable to continue with learning experiences & that in itself will cause him to make a big mistake....eventually.

My g tube nurse does all the tubes on 2 halls....about 13 total at this time. She also does the fingersticks & the monthly summarys. She also assists in emergency situations if needed. This leaves me to charge, carry out orders etc.
