    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

  10. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    LPNs don't look for a coatail to hide under, and definitely not from one who just got pressed! Seemed to me the LPN took her lumps, and the RN ran for cover! But I am sure when this goes to civil...

    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Brownms46 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing
