  2. how does hospice work in other ltc facilities

  9. Last name on badges?

    This is true. I guess the best thing to do is either have an unpublished number or only use a cell. But then there's the issue of someone being able to find you on google and get directions straight...
  10. Last name on badges?

    I like the idea of first name and first initial of the last name. That's how my name tag was when I worked in the jail. Not that my identity was so much of a secret because I live in "Mayberry" where...

  24. Racist Patients

    You are so right. I was accused on my full time day job of being rude to a patient because I didn't give the patient the answer she wanted to hear. Then the boss spouts off about this customer...
