    Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    SHGR replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Like x 1000. If you can stay strong perhaps you can change the culture in this facility. You do sound like a true leader. My experience in LTC was similar to

    What's your Myers-Briggs personality type?

    You know those commercials that say, "ask your doctor if you're healthy enough for sexual activity"? I feel like, if they put you on tele, that question is pretty well answered "no." That was the...
