    Nurses Who Harm Patients

    LadyFree28 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Medicaid paid company, but company didn't pay me! ADVICE PLEASE!!!

    LadyFree28 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty

    Agreed; what doesn't make sense is that if the agency alleged that they are not going to pay for the whole shift because of an alleged "break" that sounds fishy, or there is more to the story...if it...

    LadyFree28 replied to edwardsrn62's topic in Private Duty
