    Mqnurse13 replied to whatisgonnabemyname's topic in General Nursing

    Mqnurse13 replied to Mqnurse13's topic in General Nursing

  18. New facility no med cart allowed

    Mqnurse13 replied to Mqnurse13's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think that's where the confusion is where I work, it used to be only ltc they just added rehab skilled which is my unit, and that's why I feel they need the basic precautions in place. The biggest...
