    I'm about to lose my MIND!!

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

    You don't know for sure...many people walk out of NCLEX thinking that they failed and were pleasently surprized. Please give it time, at least check your results with Pearson before you throw in the...

    Bashed for pursuing lpn route

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

    I don't know how long exactly, but it seems to have been for some time (I suspect over 10 years). I know one person like that as well, she was a know it all CNA, PCA, cheated her way through our LPN...

    Only LPN in an Office of MAs who want to act like nurses

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

    Just need to ask in case I overlooked something...tetorifice-allergy to eggs? I thought it was flu where we have to check for egg allergies. I double checked my drug book and immunize.org and didn't...

    Bashed for pursuing lpn route

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

    Please, do not let the titles get to you. I found that even though I am 'only an LPN", most often, I am the 'go to' person for many things. The ones that tried to criticize my choice, I said to them...

    NCLEX & Wedding planning help!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nastassja's topic in General Nursing

    Both situations can lead to a great deal of stress. I can't tell you what to do, but, I would probably either put the wedding off, or NCLEX. What usually happens, it seems is that the school itself...

    Home Health LPN and no drug test???

    pagandeva2000 replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar experience with home health agencies. I try and be sure that I see the case and get as familiarized as possible before I actually accept. This is no shock, but it is also

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that you learned about yourself through this experience and am proud that you were able to acknowledge that you have an issue that needs to be dealt with. I can guarentee you that you WILL...

    ATTN: Becoming a Medical Assistant=Waste of Time

    pagandeva2000 replied to msnjie4RN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that the MA experience can give a person a head's up in patient relations, and it is very true that many medical assistants are exposed to and allowed to do a great deal. I just don't think...

    Nurses Are Professionals? Oh Really?

    pagandeva2000 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hate sounding like a "Stepford Wife" who is so hypnotized that I may go drink the kool aide of Jim Jones. Scripted conversations sound too cultish to me...sorry. I gotta

    Nobody answers the floor phones

    pagandeva2000 replied to retiredlady's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe that there should be a unit secretary to screen phone calls. I have no time to entertain them. I definitely understand and respect the need for family to reach the floor to speak to...

    Anxiety Attacks

    pagandeva2000 replied to kcb007's topic in General Nursing

    Panic attacks can certainly manifest physical symptoms and yes, they can be scary. I have also gone to the hospital with chest pains, breathing problems, etc, only to be told that after ruling out...

    LPNs working unsupervised in nursing homes

    pagandeva2000 replied to mdfrey2010's topic in General Nursing

    My state will allow an LPN to work in nursing homes without RNs on the site, but they must be available by telephone. I have not worked in a nursing home since becoming an LPN, but I am not...

    Body cold on one side but hot on the other.....

    pagandeva2000 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, because he always complained that he was cold. Looking at him, he seemed frail for years. I thought that he may have been anemic because he didn't eat meat and did not seem to have a large...

    Anxiety Attacks

    pagandeva2000 replied to kcb007's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I experience them every now and then. What I do is deep breathing, convince myself that this is not real and try to get to a location with less stimuli at the moment. They don't come often for...

    Body cold on one side but hot on the other.....

    pagandeva2000 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a fan of MJ. I wondered what he meant by describing those symptoms, also. It didn't seem to be a side effect of Diprivan (but I did read that apnea is one). I see that it can cause...

    Do people treat you different when they find out you are a nurse?

    pagandeva2000 replied to beachbutterfly's topic in General Nursing

    I get mixed responses. Some say that they could not do it themselves, others ask why aren't I an RN, others will begin to tell me about their ailments and I have to kindly refer them to their doctor....
