  2. Working Alone on a unit

    barefootlady replied to lauron9's topic in General Nursing

    Not a good situation . Even a CNA would be a comfort. Besides, there are always "things" that can be done when the census is low to justify at least a CNA. Check stock for out dates, clean refrig,...

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

  13. desperate for some input!

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    barefootlady replied to Nursinghaze's topic in General Nursing
