    Goodyear replied to guest_57352's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  18. CNA's not completing assignment. Vent.

    Goodyear replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It might not hurt to "set the tone" early on a new unit just to be safe. When making the assignments let them know you will check and they will be held accountable, then follow through. Before long...

    Goodyear replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing
