  1. Wrote up a CNA, but I was the one who got the boot!

    realnursealso/LPN replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a quick question, what were you doing when the call light was going off? When I worked 3-11, or 11-7, I answered call lights. Maybe you were passing meds, or doing something else. I was just...
