This place does not let me advocate for my patients. I'm a caring nurse and I fight for them every day and get crap for it, and in the end every thing I do doesn't matter cause someone else just goes...

I just wanna get out of there asap because we still have about 40 empty beds and I recently found out I will still be caring for them on my own. Budget may allow me to have a med tech. But that's if...

Thank you! We have a ten bed sub acute unit and those patients seem appropriate most of the time but in AL there are so many people who should be in subacute.. If they wanna keep taking these patients...

I read on the state labor and workforce site that it's not mandatory to take a break, it is however illegal to dock pay for untaken breaks. Which im going to bring up to my employer. It also looks bad...
