Good Nursing Home Nurses Bad Nursing Home Administrators

Nurse Keith, career coach and podcaster of The Nurse Keith Show, joins us for this week's episode! We discuss a controversial case of a nurse that was criminally charged for making a good-faith mistake that resulted in the death of a patient. We also examine some of the current issues impacting nursing home facilities, including administrative shortcomings, and how reformations are needed to improve conditions for both healthcare professionals and patients.   Please support our show by supporting our sponsors below!
