  1. Finding a new path

    unique_nurse replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

  2. Burnt out

    unique_nurse replied to anewsns's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

  7. Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    unique_nurse replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    I think every nurse has made some type of medication error at some point in their careers. Some have been major, others have not. I like the new scanning system a lot of facilities have in place now....

  8. ADON'S what are your duties and what and how many hours do you work?

    unique_nurse replied to Bubbles82's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I just got a job as an adon. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I just want to do a great job, and help make the company ever more of a success. Thanks to you guys for listing you job duties,...
