    Rough day

    JentheRN05 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    JentheRN05 replied to MsPiggy's topic in Psychiatric

    JentheRN05 replied to HotmaleSPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is NOT right. Get out of that position - it's YOUR license (or soon to be) on the line. I wouldn't stand for this. I would tell upper management that they need to correct their policies, give...
