    CNA's not completing assignment. Vent.

    Ddestiny replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wedding Band Tattoo

    Ddestiny replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

    Wedding Band Tattoo

    Ddestiny replied to Ddestiny's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not exactly asking for acceptance, just experience. I would ask my facility, but as I said....I don't have one. I'm not yet at a point where I can even pick a nursing school (about a year down the...
