    Are we set to do long-term non emergency care MOSTLY?

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

    You may find out if you are actually accepted into the nursing program whether or not BCLS is a requirement at your particular school. What I would do is visit the nursing department and ask them....

    I Wish I was a Real Nurse not a LPN

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nure Emi's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with this...it is offensive. I thought about this thread all the way home from my job. Confidence has to be built from within. There is a Patient Care Associate I work with that is...

    I Wish I was a Real Nurse not a LPN

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nure Emi's topic in General Nursing

    I have not read all of the posts, but, so far, I have to say the same...you cannot allow others to dictate your feelings or your value. I am also an LPN, and I am confident enough to say that I am a...

    Are we set to do long-term non emergency care MOSTLY?

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

    Another New Yorker here...we needed BCLS well before entering Fundamentals, also. I know of LPNs working almost everywhere in my hospital. They may be a bit limited in what they are supposed to do,...

    Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    pagandeva2000 replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I definitely think that it would have been sufficient, but because we were in a public place around virtual strangers, I felt it was a bit better to give the response I did. And, the end result will...

    I told a friend this the other day. It is impossible to please everyone, so, you have to make yourself happy, first. I had an interesting situation this weekend...I worked at a health fair-had to...

    I don't care anymore, I'm never saying another thing...

    pagandeva2000 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way...I have learned to keep quiet. So many times, I questioned, provided proof from the state, offered suggestions to make things work more smoothly, and then, I am told that it is...

    LPNs NOT Medicating??

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have been reading some posts where people are stating that as LPNs they are not allowed to medicate. This baffles me, because I am trying to imagine what the focus was in their nursing programs....

    Entry into Practice: Diploma Programs for Registered Nursing

    pagandeva2000 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I also believe that Diploma graduates came out more prepared with both, skills and the ability to correlate their education with practice. They didn't seem to be overwhelmed, had a greater deal of...

    A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    pagandeva2000 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is true...a nurse would have been suspended at the very least. Does this mean that because he was an elite physician that it was okay to behave that way and get a slap on the

    pagandeva2000 replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...they must have toasted that surgeon's cookies. I think that the behavior of the surgeon sucked, but at the same time, he had a difficult procedure, was probably afraid to lose this person on...

    100% pro-life, considering nursing school

    pagandeva2000 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I also suspect that as long as you avoid the above mentioned areas, you should not face issues that compromise your pro-life stance. However, I do wonder what happens if a person came to your area...

    I don't have skin problems, but I am tired and can identify with the compassion fatigue syndrome. I have goals I am working on right now related to home repair, so, this is why I do extra hours. I...

    There are review courses you can take...ask your professors if they know of any. And, many people study on their own and are still QUITE successful in passing both NCLEX-PN/RN the first time! Make...
