  6. "Take down" in LTC?????

    steelcityrn replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    By the sound of your story, it would seem this was not a new practice for this nurse. How about when she got mad at something one day at work and walked off her job? What a nut. I think she needs...

  15. Nurse Fraud

    steelcityrn replied to 123bessie's topic in General Nursing

  16. An ethical question.

    steelcityrn replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    steelcityrn replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing
