    Just QUIT- Need some support- VENT

    pagandeva2000 replied to nurseofthemonth's topic in General Nursing

    My husband created a nifty computer game for me; he made a picture of my Associate Director of Nursing where my mouse can shoot holes in it and it falls apart. Each time I 'shoot', it screams "Ouch!"...

    Nurses in society

    pagandeva2000 replied to vnuwish's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, I wonder if it is due to the history of nursing...at one time, those providing nursing care were ne'er do wells such as prostitutes, as a jail sentence, etc...and thus, were not the...

    Who is GENERALLY more of a "PAIN"?: Co-workers OR Patients?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have to say the co-workers. To try and take care of patient needs takes a collaborative effort and sometimes, they make the process even worse. When I know that I have to go through a jack...

    Can an LPN train/precept and RN?

    pagandeva2000 replied to yfloridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it depends on the setting. I feel that an LPN can teach basic, routine procedures for the most part and if she is advanced in skills, even more. Can't say that we can sign off on...

    Have you seen a decrease in verbal abuse by physicians?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have not seen a difference, in fact, I didn't know that Joint Commission has an initiative for low tolerance towards physician abuse. New to me. I haven't experienced too much of it, but have seen...

    massage after IM injection?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mt_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Extremely. I work as a vaccination nurse per diem for the US Army, and we administer some of those 'exotic' shots like Anthrax, Yellow Fever, Rabies, Smallpox, etc... I have seen people's veins and...

    I have massaged the arm after giving Anthrax, but that is per instructions. Otherwise, I had

    This is what happens when politics wins over nurses

    pagandeva2000 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    I would be outraged, also! You would not have the option for reciprocacy, maybe not even transfer credits to another program for advancement and it shows that just about anyone can follow the tasks...

    Can you take a look at this LPN Program Curriculum?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    This looks like the norm when I compare this list to some of the vocational practical nursing programs that I have

    Why did I go to school to be a nurse?

    pagandeva2000 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I experience this every day. Usually, it is from the patients and their families, but also from others, such as ancillary staff that also have no idea what it is like to be a nurse. I break my neck...

    Opinions on a book-Critical Care Made Incredibly Easy

    pagandeva2000 replied to chele44's topic in General Nursing

    I never purchased it but I say that whatever helps you to understand or trigger your memory is the book or reference for you. I used to buy Incredibly Easy books throughout my nursing program and...

    Unit Based Staff Educator??

    pagandeva2000 replied to BSN2CRNA's topic in General Nursing

    We obtain new information haphazardly. Sometimes via internet, sometimes an inservice, an occasional email. Most times, sorry to say, we don't learn until a mistake is made, and most times, we didn't...

    New grad frustrated, but trapped...in a "profession" i HATE.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Sparx28's topic in General Nursing

    This is enlightening to know that there are many nurses that have ADHD. Of course, there are sufferers across the board in any career, but I guess I had my head in the clouds. I am also happy to...

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

    I agree with your statement. This is an informal forum...heck, we really don't know who we are communicating with, to be honest... Anyhow, because this is informal, I excuse much more than I would...

    all places i have applied have given pre-employment tests, and jobs should train you, but sometimes, sadly, it is not adequate. some nursing homes have two days orientation, even for new grads. i...

    Patients and cell phone cameras

    pagandeva2000 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would not want them to ask ME to take the pictures, but whether I like it or not, I could not change what they do, so, I guess I wouldn't worry about it. The first thing that comes to my...
