    That would be my whites. Oh, I might as well face it. My big butt makes my butt look big. As to the OP, wear what you like. And wear tops with pockets, and cargo pants. http://www.tafford.com has a...

    SuesquatchRN replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NYS makes it very difficult for an LPN to be in a management position, period. I manage a 44-bed unit in LTC and have floor nurses who can run rings around me clinically. They are impressive in their...

    I deal with this a lot in LTC. When someone becomes a resident the family often goes nuts, usually because of guilt. Contrary to popular belief, many folks -- in fact, most -- keep their loved ones...
