    Abuse

    hppygr8ful replied to 4RealStudent's topic in General Students

    hppygr8ful replied to jmcd84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Did you contract anything from a patient?

    No abandonment or neglect here. You might want to get a copy of your state's BON definition of abandonment/neglect. I once had an employer try to deny me my PTO when I left. I might add with over 3...
