2. What "bad habits" are LTC nurses known for??

   ChampRN replied to Nola009's topic in Geriatric

   Giving meds way too early. I'm the only night shift nurse with 30+ patients and a medpass scheduled towards the end of my shift, with administration not wanting to go overtime, what else can you do.

3. Confused with Charting

   ChampRN replied to ChampRN's topic in Geriatric

   I've obviously missed some of the stuff that I had to chart but nobody seems to notice. It's hard to try to do everything you're supposed to do when no one is pointing out what you're missing out, so I'm grateful for all the help! Thanks everyone!

10. Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    ChampRN replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX
