    How do you count liquid narcotics?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    This is something I have always wondered as well. One of the clinics I worked in kept DepoTestosterone in the narcartics closet and the bottle is dark, the fluid is very thick and syrupy. This is...

    I am content to be an LPN...is that wrong?

    pagandeva2000 replied to KatieNoelLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I HATED school with an uncontrollable passion and whenever someone brings up returning, I literally get sick to my stomach and very agitated. Why invest money, time and energy into an experience I...

    Any Ideas???

    pagandeva2000 replied to VM85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What about audio books? I don't know if they are costly or not, but, maybe the activities director may know how to obtain some cheap ones that she may be interested in? Are there volunteers that can...

    Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should call the BON of your state rather than the CNA school to verify. Truthfully, I am having a very hard time believing that taking a CNA class would void a nursing license, but I am...

    what do you all think

    pagandeva2000 replied to momtojosh's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What this represents is that the RNs did not do their job, it is not really a reflection on you all; but BECAUSE they didn't do what they were supposed to do, this corrective action is supposed to...

    Obsess with Nursing

    pagandeva2000 replied to Mr I Care's topic in General Nursing

    I can say that I can agree with many of the things that llg mentioned. There is a chance for disappointment in nursing with the state of affairs today. In fact, OP, a good book to read is Nursing...

    Sick Of Co-workers Calling In ALL the Time

    pagandeva2000 replied to skittlebear's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While it can certainly be frustrating to take on the slack of the workers that do not come, I really never focused on it. This is not an attack on the OP, nor is it on any one that is chronically...

    Obsess with Nursing

    pagandeva2000 replied to Mr I Care's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is better to prepare, see what options may be available for you and there is nothing wrong with reading a bit in advance. I would do light reading, however...try familiarize, not...

    I am content to be an LPN...is that wrong?

    pagandeva2000 replied to KatieNoelLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No, you are not wrong, and you would not be wrong if you changed your mind five minutes from now and decided to become an RN, either. Each person has to know themselves and also allow themselves to...

    The PM function can be utilized by looking to the top of the screen and seeing a pencil and paper. Once a member has 15 posts, they can PM. Happy

    LVN......applying for CNA jobs

    pagandeva2000 replied to BA.LVN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most phlebotomy courses (at least in my area) are about 6-8 weeks in length, maybe three hours a week. Will go over very basic anatomy of the circulatory system, then, goes into the color and content...

    Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    pagandeva2000 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I don't think that disliking care plans or useless changes in documentation reflects one's dedication and skill to be a consciensous, caring nurse. I have been reading "Nursing Against the Odds" and...

    Impaired nursing not cool

    pagandeva2000 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know that each facility works differently. I think that it is important for the nurses to know what the protocol is, what is expected of her regarding charge duties and the chain of command,...

    How old is too old for NCLEX review books????

    pagandeva2000 replied to esteiner88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would probably purchase a newer version, but if you can obtain older ones either from the library or on loan, do so. I liked seeing different versions of questions and that helped me to pass...

    Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    pagandeva2000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that was wonderful of you to assist. No, it is not usually expected that the nurse practitioners in my facility to assist us. In fact, many times, they have made things worse on the floors I...

    Why can't I find an LPN job?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ladybuggers's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe that clinical experience is not used because most students do not deal with a full load of patients. And, with this economy, they do not have the funds or the available staff to mentor new...

    No,new grads dont make big bucks !

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Are these rates applying for LPNs or RNs? Maybe we should specify, since the OP is saying her friend is an LPN

    Quiting LPN School

    pagandeva2000 replied to LovelyOverload's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It sounds like you are spread too thin. As others have mentioned, either pick one or the other. I have never heard of a self paced practical nursing program, but I can say if you have had NO medical...

    The Beginning to an End

    pagandeva2000 replied to AlmostBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Normal, Normal, Normal!! Did I say 'normal'? Once you get there, you have to learn to organize yourself, learn who you can count on, continue to read and then, correlate the books to the actual...

    When can I start looking for an RN job in a hospital???

    pagandeva2000 replied to KK1017's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you got some good suggestions. Another thing to keep in mind is that while you are working in a slower setting, you may (depending on the type of patients you are caring for) at least be...
