   I have lost 2 years of CEUS. I cannot find them anywhere. I renew my license this year. What happens if I am audited? How many years do they go back? Thank you!

   In out staffing policy it stated that the charge nurse could not be cancelled but the DON changed that and now we can be cancelled. Our census is low and full time are losing hours but they are extending the contract nurses. I don't understand.

    I can't call in because I will be written for calling in on a day that I requested pto that was denied. I put in the request in July for September. I feel that was plenty of notice.
