    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    Did you notice whether or not there was an increase or decrease of some of the attitudes towards LPNs in Canada compared to here? I guess I ask, because as you mentioned (and what I have read), it...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    Curious to know what you mean about "complacency, it is just weak". When we start bringing up the word 'smarter', regarding LPNs and RNs, it opens up a can of worms to me because for one, completing...

    Failed Sterilization vs. Abortion Pill

    pagandeva2000 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with elkpark...what usually happens when people are desperate is that they will resort to unsafe means to abort and that makes things worse. If a woman has done all she can to control...

    Bashed for pursuing lpn route

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

    What does your mother do for a living? Maybe you can bring her information on what LPNs do and the LPN-RN bridge programs that may be available to you at a later date. I notice many times, people...

    Failed Sterilization vs. Abortion Pill

    pagandeva2000 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would also be there for this person. I don't know the individual, but, it sounds like she did all she can possibly do not to get pregnant again, and yet, after a major medical and personal...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I agree with this. Rather than focus on what education someone has, how much work they can take off of you (legally), the bottom line is that LPNs and RNs do exist in certain settings. Does it make...

    Failing nursing coourse

    pagandeva2000 replied to bebe14's topic in General Nursing

    Also, see if you would be allowed to sit for NCLEX-PN. Many states allow RN students to challenge the PN exam if they have one semester left. And, maybe you can enter an LPN to RN bridge program to...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    People are really amazing; remembering the LPN basher here that said we are complacent and too troublesome to work with. I had to reflect on some of the posts here yesterday because I found out that...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I feel the same way...my job does not define ME. And, it is interesting that the LPN basher has not returned as of yet. Maybe she feels she can do it ALL...the phlebotomy, the nutrition, the ADLs,...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I have seen this also. In fact, at my hospital, many of the physicians don't show respect to the nurses that have earned their Doctorate Degrees and they almost laugh the Nurse Practitioners out the...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I have to agree with this. My situation is a bit different than most. My mother passed away 5 weeks after I got married and I was her only child. She left me a house free and clear with no...

    Attitudes towards LPN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    I have to say that this is a not a nice attitude towards us. It is one thing to believe that some of it may be double work, but to say that we are complacent, that is not true. I had to sit down...

    Passing Clinical Exam after LPN to RN online courses

    pagandeva2000 replied to Irishgirl99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe an option can be to practice those skills while you are studying independently in Excelsior. I had a friend who actually hooked up with a friend that ran a clinical lab on Saturdays, so, what...

    What shoes do you wear at work?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mappers's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear those as well as Sketcher Shape Ups. They ARE dreamy!! I just ordered another pair of Saucony grids to alternate with the Sketchers. I am with

    What shoes do you wear at work?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mappers's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I brought three pair of Sketcher Shape Ups. One in white for work, another in black and found they also sold sandals, so, I got a brown pair. Well worth the money and greatly helped my plantar...

    How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    First, I want to say that I have truly been enjoying your posts. You seem like a reasonable person who is not title hungry and tries to respect everyone. And, I repeat, I would love to had been one...

    Does being a CNA equal 1 year experiance for lpn?

    pagandeva2000 replied to missbee10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know if the LPN can be considered as a professional...maybe a vocation, but, I remember hearing that only BSNs and above are considered to be

    How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, LPNs get this even from RNs. I remember a discussion a few years ago where an RN stated "She isn't a nurse...she is an LPN"...duh?? Or, we hear "The Nurses and the LPNs"...etc......

    Sketchers

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you are talking about the Sketchers Shape Ups, they are WONDERFUL!! I got a white pair for work, black for home and they even made sandals---got those in dark brown. Worth the money to

    New grad with no clinical skills

    pagandeva2000 replied to malone2192's topic in General Nursing

    This is nothing new. I graduated from the first LPN program my community college offered. Because this was a new program, they did not have enough clinical instructors and the director had to hire...

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

    I echo what others are saying and want to add to never let people know that you are planning or working a second job...that can be a sure way to sabatoge you. She can say that you don't commit...

    How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I hate when that happens. Or, I get the comments that "Well, you are going for your RN, aren't you?" Or, when do I plan to be a nurse and I tell them I already am. I admit to everyone that I am proud...

    Is 6 Month Of Med-Surg Enough?

    pagandeva2000 replied to WinterWolf90's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if your collagues are respectful and are willing to teach, stay while looking for other opportunities. I have learned from experience that sometimes, the grass looks greener on the other...
