   wossaa replied to Bob_N_VA's topic in Informatics

2. Unit Managers

   wossaa replied to beaglelover's topic in Geriatric

   At the SNF I work at, staff not working are asked to come in and get OT. However, the corporate nurse made it clear that she holds the rule that Unit Managers will not be pulled to the floor. This helps alot. So maybe it's something to bring up to yo...
