  1. Common LTC no-no's (part vent, part question)

    coco3299 replied to Zergasaurus's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  2. Is it just my facility, or are nurses really this backbitting?

    coco3299 replied to Nurse_Tricia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  4. Moving from primary care into specialty practice

    coco3299 replied to BCgradnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    coco3299 replied to gabby3's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. Independent Clinic as NP
