1. Please explain this nonsense to me!

   2sassyRN replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

   The fact that this resident wasn't x-rayed is ridiculous AND neglectful. I knew of a facility that had a similar incident in which a resident fell, and no one thought anything was broken, but the next day she was complaining of severe pain. An x-ra...

2. Who is tired of the abuse from lg Corp politics?

   2sassyRN replied to Rnltc's topic in Geriatric
