    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to Sheri257's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, the NHs may get reimbursed more for wounds, but the state cracks down hard on them. I don't really think the admin. want them either. At least not my facility. I think admin. really cares for...
