Personally, I'd go with Ortho but I'm a little biased because I do some ortho at work. Both are difficult but if you go with SNF, they have a very high patient to nurse ratio. What makes ortho where I work easier is that patients are ambulated by phy...

Rude: Having me hold your phone for an hour+ (yes, I timed it) when your break is supposed to be 30 minutes. I don't mind holding a phone for up to 40-45 minutes but an hour+ and then me having to hunt you down to give you your phone is rude. Persona...

I always pull pain meds for everybody in the morning because 9.5 times out of 10, they'll want it. With 5 pts all wanting pain meds first thing in the morning, I don't have the luxury of assessing them first then going to get their meds. The next thi...
