    jamangel replied to lpnurse2004's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    jamangel replied to texas_lvn's topic in Correctional

    jamangel replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't believe anyone is saying that. I think they we're trying to understand the scenario in which it happened. There are really bad CNA's and really good ones and some good ones having a bad day....

  16. How often do you do CPR in a skilled nursing facility?

    jamangel replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. LPN advocacy

    jamangel replied to abooker's topic in LPN to RN

    jamangel replied to GlowBear500's topic in Correctional

    The only experience I've had was with a now convicted murderer who was a bit miffed because I did not respond to his advances. At the time he was pleading not guilty to the crimes of course and had...
