    nyteshade replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    No, Pennyaline...No LTAC, just plain ole SNF. What confuses me is that I've worked in the hospital setting, and couldn't pull a central, so I wonder why it's ok in a SNF? We have IV nurses...

    When to call the Doctor regarding a fall?

    nyteshade replied to LStar's topic in General Nursing

    Is this harassment?

    nyteshade replied to arnie1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It boggles the mind how the doc can say that the quality of care is bad now that this nurse is gone. How could he prove such a bold statement??? Honestly, he is truly making a fool out of himself. I'm...
