    Does allnurses.com make you a better nurse?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that it made me a wiser nurse...more observant. I get to see what has happened to others and I am more empowered to either not make the same mistakes or to better critically think. Many...

    pharmacology help!

    pagandeva2000 replied to shelbee1084's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's one of the reasons why I mentioned Delmar's Comprehensive Study Guide...they actually mentioned many of those nuances that made studying for school/NCLEX

    Appropriate for NP to give gifts?

    pagandeva2000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be honored to receive a gift from my bosses and supervisors. Another thing could be to bring in coffee and donuts, or depending on how many there are working under you, treat them to an...

    Patients adding me as a friend on facebook...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    This is making me think about hiding my last name...who wants THAT? It is not paranoia-it is protecting one's welfare as well as family. People have a tendency to misread professionalism and...

    RN student thinking about going for LPN...

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

    Depending on where you live, it can be common that LPNs make just a bit less than RNs (not in my side of the planet, however...). The difference may be that the RNs have more opportunities and a...

    What are you doing now...I gather that IT stands for Information Technology. If so, tell us, if you will where you obtained the skills to be able to do this.

    pharmacology help!

    pagandeva2000 replied to shelbee1084's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would probably purchase Delmar's Comprehensive Study Guide for NCLEX-PN. They have a great pharmacology section that helped me a great deal. Good

    Patients adding me as a friend on facebook...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    I would not befriend them, either, unless (as mentioned before), we were friends prior to the hospitalization or clinic visit. It either allows them to think that they have free access to medical...

    Nsg home administrator vs the nurse.

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

    Of course, we see some really insane things that occur in health care because of the almighty dollar. Transporting patients improperly is one of them because the driver of the vehicle can be liable...

    How would you handle this info?????? Please advise!

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

    Experience tells me that the OP does have an issue to be concerned with. Unfortunately, situations like this can be sticky. You are not sure if the DON is aware, there is a chance that the nurse...

    pagandeva2000 replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am also hearing that most have complained of arm soreness. I had no intention of getting it unless I was mandated (New York seems to have had a change of mind). Now, I decided that I will because...

    What to do if can't pass LPN exit exam but have diploma?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Lynaa4life's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    traumaRus is correct, the practice codes for ATI are not to be 'lent'. I would contact my school, because from what I remembered, ATI codes were provided by our program director, only. In fact, ATI...

    H1N1 will you be giving the vaccine?

    pagandeva2000 replied to darla09's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in a hospital clinic (OB/GYN). This year, because of the mandate and the increased hype, our hospital has created a flu clinic for walk ins. I give both, Seasonal and H1N1 continously, due to...

    pagandeva2000 replied to mamad7's topic in General Nursing

    i think it is just as you stated...you do not stop nursing when you are off duty. the bottom line is that people will probably accept whatever nurses dole out to them because we have the license....

    Excelsior distant learning.....

    pagandeva2000 replied to andreasmom02's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Or, I think you need to check and see if you can sit for the boards in your state if you take Excelsior and also look into the states you may be interested in moving to in order to see if they would...

    pagandeva2000 replied to lilaclover6984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of the things that I believe everyone should keep in mind is that no matter how much greener the grass appears on the other side of the fence, those people have their challenges as well. In fact,...

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

    As a newly licensed nurse, you will feel sort of green in the beginning. This will also happen if you move on to another position. I started off working in the medical clinic in my hospital and...

    pagandeva2000 replied to avenellpn82's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Most nursing students struggle with the first semester because nursing questions are styled differently. It is not always about memorization, but also, reading into symptoms, how labs relate to the...

    pagandeva2000 replied to labman's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I am very careful about who I associate with on my private time. I am not blaming the OP...I would have probably done the same...but I see the nature of people. They assume that nurses...
