  1. Privacy question

    TBLPN replied to Krissy NY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree 100%, give the two week notice with a proper letter of resignation. Do not burn bridges. It will eventually one day bite you in the butt. As for your dad, cut that loose, you don't need...

    TBLPN replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  8. Med not available

    TBLPN replied to dotter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think this is the case in most LTC facilities. I know it is in mine. I too work 7p-7a weekends. Meds are constantly "unavailable". We aren't suppose to chart that, which is nuts considering it's...

    TBLPN replied to PCGrad06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    TBLPN replied to Cryssi's topic in General Nursing
