    amoLucia replied to HKBrandon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Dementia and driving??

    amoLucia replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  13. Nurse, clean up aisle 5 (rant)

    amoLucia replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    What all do you have to do the cleanups? I would imagine that when there seems to be an astronomical sky-high rise in the purchase need for SaniWipes then the purchase orders will go up. With that...

  14. Staff Shots?

    amoLucia replied to ArryOtter's topic in School

    And you can bill and code for it, yes? Sometimes people think up all kinds of ways to avoid paying for a PMP OFFICE VISIT - no such things as

    amoLucia replied to Oswin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  21. In Defense of the LTC Nurse

    amoLucia replied to Oswin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    amoLucia replied to ZSimzNeuroNurse's topic in General Nursing

  24. Bilingual LPN salary in Oklahoma

    amoLucia replied to BilingualPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
