    i finally made it!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to belle05's topic in General Nursing

    I am happy to see another allnurses success story where this site has provided support and positive energy to a member to succeed. I suspect that part of the challenge of the previous programs were...

    Quit my stressful job, now I miss it ...

    pagandeva2000 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure, but when you work with a phenomenal team, that can outbeat alot of the negativity. But, for me, if my work atmosphere is calmer, I am a better person. Volunteering may be a good idea. Or...

    Patients talking politics to me...

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with sensitive issues like politics and religion, because even if we 'agree', sometimes, this leads to a patient thinking that they have an ally in their...

    Pet Peeve

    pagandeva2000 replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen it done in my clinic...shouting out the weight of obese people. Do you REALLY think that patient wants everyone in sight to know they are 400lbs? Even though I am not overweight, it...

    2 Medical dictionaries, which to choose???

    pagandeva2000 replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I prefer Mosby's better than either of them (have all three). Too bad that wasn't added to your

    Calling in sick too late...feeling horrible about it.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Katie_Bell's topic in General Nursing

    Things happen. I would call and sincerely apologise, while stating that you know that this set staffing in a tailspin. Most times, if you are perceived as a reliable person, you're forgiven. Are...

    Thought I was doing fine... THEN got a call from my manager.... :(

    pagandeva2000 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the mentorship, because any additional help is advantageous for a new RN, but I also believe I would have asked for a meeting with some of the people that complained. It can be done...

    Could employers judge people by their names?

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Mrs. Ugly Old Woman??? OMG, WHO would do that to someone? Now that is unique, and can follow a person forever.

    Could employers judge people by their names?

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. It is one thing, I believe for an adult to legally change their names to whatever they want, but, some of the names I have seen children burdened with make me shudder and wonder what their...

    Nurses with depression

    pagandeva2000 replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    One of the things that makes this hard to discuss with our nurse co-workers is that unfortunately, the nurture has been taken out of nursing, especially to each other. I think that most nurses are...

    Could employers judge people by their names?

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a very creative thread and I am thankful to read this. I think that subconsiously, we tend to judge people by their names. I'm African American myself, and my first name is Joy. Last names...

    LPN to RN... ask for a raise?

    pagandeva2000 replied to e.moore30's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think that the OP should see if she can obtain an RN case at the same agency. If they are still offering only a quarter for the extra RN duties, THEN, I would leave. I just suspect that...

    Interview left me speechless

    I had a feeling that her hands extended far...usually people who act like that know other people that cover for them. I do wish you luck, and

    Question about going from MA to LPN

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

    Probably not. Medical assistant training does not involve the deeper anatomy and physiology requirements, English, or many other credits that would be transferred to an RN

    Could employers judge people by their names?

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    LOL, this reminds me of a story...when I was a pre-nursing student, I was friendly with a guy that was rough around the edges and he was also interested in getting into the nursing program. Met him...

    Interview left me speechless

    pagandeva2000 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    Scary, scary. Of course, I wouldn't take the position. What I am curious about is how long has this nurse been working in the field, and how many places? I am all for reporting to HR, but, my...

    LPN to RN... ask for a raise?

    pagandeva2000 replied to e.moore30's topic in General Nursing

    While I certainly agree that you should receive RN pay, it may not be possible to do so while keeping the same case you are currently working on. I say this because from what I gather, when the...

    Nurses with depression

    pagandeva2000 replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I know how you feel with the anxiety attacks. I get them as well. My first time was a few months after my mother died 11 years ago. It was horrible, but I knew exactly what it was. I would feel...

    Nurses with depression

    pagandeva2000 replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My best friend is an excellent RN with bipolar disorder. In fact, she just got out of the hospital after a 10 day stay because she went manic. She is still my best friend, and I have nothing but...

    Could employers judge people by their names?

    pagandeva2000 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    This is a good subject. I definitely believe that employers probably judge people by their names, although I have no proof. Say that they have a need for a Russian speaking nurse due to a high...

    I hate my job as a CNA, I don't know if I want to be a nurse anymore

    pagandeva2000 replied to Divalish918's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds like burn out right now. One of the advantages of working as a CNA is that it is the entry into a nursing career, and you get to witness as much as you can before you decide whether or not...

    Would you work a shift as an aide?

    pagandeva2000 replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would in a New York minute. But, I would not want to be confused...as others have mentioned, some people take advantage by asking for assistance with their assignment like giving meds,...

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

    A true anthem of how we feel. If I were able to pass this out anonymously in every patient manual, hang it on a board, or even snail mail this to everyone I encounter, it would be worth it. Thank...
