    Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    lpnflorida replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Put the darn chart back!

    lpnflorida replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Makes a great case for computer charting. I can't wait until the day comes when the doctors have to put their own orders in the computer. That would be heaven, no more deciphering what that scribble...

    How to protect job, without FMLA
