    luvtranscendsall replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

    luvtranscendsall replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry but it doesn't matter that you changed 2 of your 4 pts beds and had other things to do. It is never acceptable to leave dirty soiled linen on the floor. If yuo can not see why then I suggest...

    luvtranscendsall replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    No I don't understand how one's work wouldn't reflect one's philosophy of nursing. That doesn't even make sense. I am open to hear the how and why you wouldn't want your work to reflect your...

  14. Attention Nurses....

    luvtranscendsall replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    luvtranscendsall replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing
