  1. RN-MSN program at Aspen University

    TimBukWho? replied to mkdwhnpbc's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. Patient ID Bracelets in LTC?

    TimBukWho? replied to kwvath's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    TimBukWho? replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We recently had this added to our list as well. Each nurse has about 40 some residents and we must go through every MAR to ensure it is without holes. I think it would be more effective if a QA...

    TimBukWho? replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  18. Lpn...rn...surgical Tech...totally Confused

    TimBukWho? replied to pixieshmoo's topic in General Nursing
