  5. Unusual physician order

    sweetnurse63 replied to sweetnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    I think the first thing that should be done is to get rid of the carpeted floors. House keeping is not going to shampoo the carpet every day and our facility usually is odor free except when someone...

  7. Are nurses really high in demand?

    sweetnurse63 replied to guevarrar's topic in General Nursing
