  14. Patients families dictating care and treatment

    Mudder replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Is there no end to your prejudice? "My point is that the LVN or LPN has no authority, experience or ability to run the show." I know this Topic didn't start off about LVN/LPNs but dang! I've been a...

    Mudder replied to lpnwkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Say something to your "unit manager" if you have one, that is the U.M.s job, to be a buffer. If there's no UM, speak with the DON, she/he can speak to the director of rehab, who in return can speak to...
