    please help... blood pressure

    pagandeva2000 replied to chrissweety19's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if you have family members or casual friends at home, practice on them! It took me time when I became a CNA to hear blood pressure, and the day that I finally heard it was like a victory to me....

    NCLEX!!!! Omg I just took it and it was horrendous!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to LoveActually's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like I entered the corn field when I took my NCLEX, so, I understand how you feel. Somehow, most of us pass the first time around, so, my fingers are certainly crossed for

    pagandeva2000 replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't mind me asking, what state are you from? I would be interested as well, especially reading that this is a large organizer in the country...maybe they include New York.

    I do not care anymore

    pagandeva2000 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I am the same way. I have a low tolerance for constant interaction and too much stimulus. Thank God for caller ID! I start my own vacation tomorrow and plan to go to a QUIET place without too much...

    I do not care anymore

    pagandeva2000 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I would do as you mentioned, don't neglect their basic needs, but for those who are not receptive, let them be. I had to become this way. I seem to have a radar for people who are not seeking or...

    NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    pagandeva2000 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I can say that even as a fan of Michael Jackson, I respect your candor and did not think of the other aspects you mentioned, such as more complications in our already burdensome careers. And, it is...

    NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    pagandeva2000 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    While it is obvious that I am a fan of Michael Jacksons talent and positive impact, I can also say that he is responsible for part of what happened. Maybe he was mentally incompetent due to his...

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading the thread about the disappointing visit to the BON and this gives rise for another discussion for me. Has anyone ever used their malpractice insurance? Did it really save money, or...

    Staffing concerns - short vent

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

    While I certainly understand why you would wish to inform them of why you're REALLY leaving, I have to agree more with systoly, that this may have more of a negative impact on you than expected. What...

    Correct documentation

    pagandeva2000 replied to Chanta2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What this nurse is doing equates to negative charting...you are supposed to chart what you see, what was done, not what was not done. To me, that is Nursing 101. Behaviors like this annoy me to no...

    Why we learn to calculate drip rates

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

    Really? How many questions were on the exam? Did you do it from home? I read where a person can take it on their personal computer, that they give you a certain amount of hours to take the exam,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. People probably think that I am a hermit, but I don't really enjoy spending time with many people; nursing can be physically and emotionally taxing, and sometimes, it is too much stimulus. I...
