    Glycerine82 replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    I think the idea is that paying CNAs more would mean we could retain high quality staff and not be stuck with the bad eggs. The issue is that when we get great CNAs, they often move on because they...

    Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws
