Has ww been missing too? The skill care gives patients a list of their rights but no one must read them except me. I teach them to my students and practically make them memorize them. I do not think the facility excepted a public health nurse to be a patient there. I made it a point to warn them about that. In fact one of my students works there and was the best one of the bunch. She told them I taught her everything she knew. She was a great nurse. I need to think about how to proceed to expose these places. Something very sinister going on in the health care system, that I am sure of. A puzzle more scary than NPR sunday puzzles that is for sure.<br />Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139505187498448200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-67225010263800988112022-08-26T13:21:09.012-07:002022-08-26T13:21:09.012-07:00Welcome back, indeed!

I can write to you privately about this as this is not proper site. I am not surprised that you have spoken up. I was shocked that my friend knew she was not acting appropriately to speak up. She applauded me for reporting the place. I did not care what I would suffer from reporting them. I was told patients were saying they could not breathe from the the high heat due to compressor break down. I was trying to save not only my life but the elderly in that place. Of course when they were interviewed by inspector that said all was fine! They probably could not remember. The CNA told me she could not wait until her shift was over as could not breathe either.<br />I did not recall her name to tell the inspector. I do know that the administrator came to check on me every day after that. I had sent a letter to her at four in the morning and also cc'd to the Gavid Newson. Of course no response from him.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139505187498448200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-47407828715403279012022-08-26T11:26:21.013-07:002022-08-26T11:26:21.013-07:00Natasha,

Finally home from that snake pit. I reported them to the california department of public health and a person came to the site to investigate. They will be doing unannounced visits from now on. I may write an article to the newspaper about that awful place. It is in a 23 story building where millionaires live. I know there is a lot to investigate about skilled care places. Am searching for some nurses to start an investigation. More if you wish you know more details. I am glad I could get home but suffered a lot of torture. No I was not high in hs. I was going to be a musician but realized that women were discriminated against and got out.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139505187498448200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-44406372702050068722022-08-26T10:43:59.064-07:002022-08-26T10:43:59.064-07:00Natasha,
