2016-09-29 06:16:39 PM tlgst16 Helping hands is a course on Dementia and Alzheimer's and how to work with those residents. That should count as clock hours.
2016-09-29 06:17:00 PM janet35 each year or just once because we have to do the inservices every year
2016-09-29 06:17:00 PM nursesusie you are correct.
