   Malia BSN, RN replied to Malia BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

   VivaLasViejas, thank you so much for your feedback! This has been a real eye-opener for me! I've done LTC myself (DON, Supervisor), but I have no experience with ALFs. After reading these comments and talking to coworkers, I am floored to find out...

7. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

   Regarding a shirt that says, "I'm a nurse: my job is to save your a**, not kiss it!" ... Funny, yes, around the house. Although we might all agree that we have felt like an *** kisser many times, it's disparaging to patients. Imagine how a person w...
