    Tucson az, Federal vs State prison?

    SuzieVN replied to toddlar's topic in Correctional

    Do you love the riot that happened at that federal prison there last week? And as far as 'wiping butts', that's a disturbing comment from a nurse. Also, you work in a hospital, so you are aware of the...

    Does your SNF use EMR in any capacity?

    SuzieVN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Geriatric, LTC
