    abbnurse replied to marvelmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good for you! Isn't it sad (and disturbing) that the other staff was dismissive of the CNA's when they voiced their concerns..... but you empowered everyone! Please keep us

    abbnurse replied to BrianneRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

  14. How do you handle inappropriate touching from patients?

    abbnurse replied to marvelmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, it was something I hadn't considered before, either.....the psychiatrist was the MD who suggested it, and the patient's "regular" MD agreed. I am so sorry you have to go through this. The...

  20. Written up for refusing to work on days off

    abbnurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    abbnurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC
