  13. Feeling 'uncomfortable' with an assignment

    Haunted replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Agency Nurses

    I second that! But even in a SNF 15 patients sounds like a lot. Also, I didn't know LVN's could flush PICCS. But, good for the agency nurse for being upfront from the beginning and making that
