    truern replied to puppyrules's topic in General Nursing

    I've had six surgeries in the past year and in each case I took my Lantus the night before and nothing the morning of..not even my metformin. You'd rather it get a little high than to bottom

    Taking Lunches, Not Clocking Out

    truern replied to kelbel's topic in Nurse Management

    We don't clock out for breaks or lunch. Lunch is automatically deducted from the timecard. I always clock in early because we use another department's time clock. I was told it's not a problem, but...
