    Do Most LPN's do NA Work Too?

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

    Where I work on the floors, I have seen were LPNs were primarily pill pushers and did pitch in to do NA work after they completed giving meds. When I worked per diem on the floors, I did not have to...

    Why I Became an LVN

    pagandeva2000 replied to ats1983's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am certainly sorry to hear that you are having this experience. If you search the General Discussion Board in this site, you will see that even new grad RNs are having the same challenge. As...

    Can LPN's really make good money

    pagandeva2000 replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think that it depends on your circumstances, spending habits and discipline. If my credit cards were paid up, I could probably live a bit better...I am not spending wildly, in fact, I pay double of...

    Would you take the flu shot?

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

    My facility provided a document that the employee has to take to their physician that states that they have had previous adverse reactions to the flu vaccine or components of it. I am understanding...

    LVN Resume

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

    When I was about to graduate, my professor suggested listing the locations where we did clinicals, the focus of that semester (ie: OB/GYN) and what skills we did. It's better than nothing and they'll...

    New York is mandated to get the vaccine by 11/30/09 or we can face a two week suspension without pay, then will have to wear a mask...also even after that, can be faced with termination for...

    Over Confident GN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I think that an honest conversation with her is the way to go, and explain to her how far her actions can really get her into hot water if she continues. And, state that you do have to document and...

    Supportive Significant Other!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to lina.561's topic in General Nursing

    I also think that it is difficult to leave a young child with a man that is not a relative (even though blood relation does not mean that the child may not be in danger). Maybe in the beginning, he...

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

    New York is mandated to take both. If not done by 11/30/09, disciplinary action will take place starting (at my job, anyhow),with two week suspension without pay and this can lead to termination due...

    Let's Talk Clinical!

    pagandeva2000 replied to karraj123's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I found that while labs and lecture can be boring (depending on who is teaching it), it is important to be able to correlate the facts and the action. I actually had interesting instructors for the...

    I really need some advice. LONG

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

    I am so sorry this happened to you; you sound like an exceptional student. I also believe, however, that it was because you left the premises. I think you should have found your instructor first to...

    What should I ask the Board of Nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you brought up a very good scenerio...I mean, the parents said no... Did she document that the parents refused the vaccine? I can't see how she was disciplined. Many times, patients I...

    LPN Graduation Speech

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

    It is an honor to be asked to speak...I am so happy for you. Think positive, also, because there must be something in your character that made them ask and for them to have the confidence that you...

    Will my relationship survive?

    pagandeva2000 replied to raider27's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree with everyone else. You can tell the quality of a relationship when sacrifices are made for the other to upgrade themselves. Think about it, you'd be able to support yourself, take a nice...

    About to finish LPN School in the DC/MD/VA area and think I wasted my time

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

    I am sorry to hear you just had surgery and hope you are healing well. What I would do is take one step at a time, get your license and see what happens. There may be other areas of nursing that may...

    Clinic nurse vs hospital nurse

    pagandeva2000 replied to esthomprn's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I suspect that the person working with the private practitioner is probably a Medical Assistant; a person who may or may not be certified. Most private offices don't want to pay LPNs, would...

    What should I ask the Board of Nursing?

    Agreed...I would NEVER confide in areas that I could have goofed

    What should I ask the Board of Nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    I can say that the BON has been very informative and quick to respond in my experience with them. I have no problems emailing them to ask questions and they have sent me copies of policies to back up...

    Can an LVN enter 1st semester of an RN program?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Lil'lee24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Auditing a class is a great idea. Some schools charge a nominal fee to allow students to audit, and it is an advantage because you are seeing what they are working on, preparing in advance. Most...

    Would you take the flu shot?

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

    I am mandated to take both, the seasonal flu and H1N1 by my state (New York). The jury is out as far as I am concerned regarding the swine flu shot, simply because it is too new, but, I would rather...

    pagandeva2000 replied to work&play's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...it is just six more days. It may seem like torture for the moment because you don't like your instructor, but, it is almost over. And, you paid your money to recertify! Without this, you...
