   So I've been off orientation for about a week. The other night, I experienced seeing someone dead for the first time. She wasn't my resident, but I wanted to go in and look just so I could get use to this kind of thing. She was a DNR. For about a...

9. can you be a DON/ADON without having your license?

   mharrah replied to fallinnstyle's topic in LTC Directors

   I would think it would be a problem. When you take orders, aren't you suppose to write your credentials after your name? And I don't think you can legally use "RN" if your license is suspended.

15. Patient or Client??? Which do you say?

    mharrah replied to Olive Oyl's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic. When I was in nursing school (in 2005), the instructors and nursing students called them patients. The same went for when I began working at the hospital. I never heard the word client. Now that I'm working for a wellness comp...
