    Disheartened by Administration & need advice

    pagandeva2000 replied to RNMarykay's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say that it usually is, but what would make a person stick it out is the camradarie of the staff on a unit. I work for a city hospital that operates in a sucky way, however, most of...

    Nurse apprentice?!

    pagandeva2000 replied to LPNfurever's topic in General Nursing

    Makes no sense to me to phase out a licensed person to render this position to a person who is not. But, who am

    First Day in Nursing Home as a Practical Nurse

    pagandeva2000 replied to funkynurse09's topic in General Nursing

    I am appreciative of these suggestions myself, and I don't even work in a nursing home! I was always looking for hints on how to survive LTC in case it becomes a necessity to work in

    Nurse lied on me, now i may lose my license....scared...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nursechristi22's topic in General Nursing

    The OP stated that the unit manager is friends with the alleged drug selling nurse. I would remove myself from the pan of fire first before I did anything, personally. But, from what I read here,...

    What should I ask the Board of Nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. What reason do you really have to put them on the spot? For them to write down your name and wait for you to earn your license and throw darts at you? If I were in your shoes, I...

    LVN program to become and RN

    pagandeva2000 replied to Jo Array's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not sure, but maybe the associate's degree will make it an easier transition to an RN program; if you had to take college level courses in English, Anatomy, Psych, etc... (I am just taking a stab at...

    guilt, kids and school is there truly a way to balance it?

    pagandeva2000 replied to butterfly135's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One of the ways I think you can deal with guilt is knowing that at the end of the rainbow, a better life may be in store. Many of us, unfortunately, don't plan to go to school first before we settle...

    Present and future lpn's :)

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I also struggled through math dosages for nurses (but did earn an A). Also, anatomy and physiology was a major issue for me. My program required that we take college level A&P which made it even...

    pagandeva2000 replied to NuNurse<3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wishing all of you the very best of luck for your nursing programs! It is a challenge, but, it can be done. I suggest that you all speak to your families and friends, telling them that this will be...

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

    I also believe that this is because it was your first nursing exam, which is far different from the others. Nursing disguises their questions in ways to make you critically think. It is not always...

    Wound Care LPN - need advice

    pagandeva2000 replied to HM7380's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Order Advance Magazine for LPNs. It is a free periodical for nurses. Most times, they list classes on wound care certification that last for about 5 days. I'd also ask my old school what they know...

    Passed boards! Have several job offers, which one to take????

    pagandeva2000 replied to Tony1790123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    First, congratulations for passing your boards!!! I would probably take the Specialty hospital, unless you you are absolutely sure that the place you are already employed will give you plenty per...

    Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    pagandeva2000 replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    I am a bit curious of how you would not consider a Licensed Practical Nurse a Nurse...if your nursing book stated that nurses are RNs and LPNs, then, what confused you? We do learn of the same...

    need help to know what to study for the nclex-pn exam

    pagandeva2000 replied to M.m.M's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You received great advice thus far and should follow the listed suggestions by Kay. There is no way to fully know what will be on the exam, so, try and have a basic understanding of as much as you...

    Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

    pagandeva2000 replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that CNAs should be called nurses, however, I also believe that this will never end. After a point, constantly correcting patients (I am thinking of the elderly ones in particular) can...

    Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    pagandeva2000 replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I think she was very disrespectful to call you back and use such language. I agree with checking with the DON to see what the actual response to her actions were. This way, you see for yourself what...

    pagandeva2000 replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in New York and yes, it is mandatory that all health care workers be vaccinated for seasonal flu as well as H1N1. I haven't gotten a flu shot since 2003 until yesterday. The jury is out to me...

    My Mother (an LPN) is in need of advice!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Klaive's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this! What a shame...these people do this to her and then, throw her to the wolves this way. I am sure that plenty of the other nurses working there have resorted to throwing away meds,...

    My Mother (an LPN) is in need of advice!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Klaive's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. What disturbs me is that I know for a fact that many caring nurses have their backs against the wall and have had to come up with creative ways to try and provide safe patient care and...

    Scope of Practice?

    pagandeva2000 replied to ibmanda2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Can you check the website of your state and see if there is a contact number or email address so you can reach someone and specifically ask this question? My BON usually answers my email within the...

    admissions to lpn in nyc

    pagandeva2000 replied to eric4178's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The Brooklyn Adult Center, at least as far as I remember, is just as competitive or even more than most LPN programs because it is the cheapest. They required taking the NLN exam and took the highest...
