    Positive Latent TB, no treatment?

    pagandeva2000 replied to bowlofsurreal's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same...the Department of Health should treat you for no cost. Actually, I am surprised that it wasn't recommended to

    I was just about to type in that it seems as though we are all sitting on a couch waiting for mom to come home and tell us whether we can eat yet... Well, Sue, you asked for positive thoughts and you...

    pagandeva2000 replied to tonka3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I doubt it seriously. I would contact the state BON and ask them. Do you remember such skill practices while in school? Not mine. I would not be comfortable. Would probably have to tell this...

    Difference between RN and LPN responsibilities in the hospital setting?

    pagandeva2000 replied to RebeccaJeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am one of those LPNs who had to take college level science, psychology, English and sociology courses, so, I can agree with your statement. We also had critical thinking, the nursing process and...

    Difference between RN and LPN responsibilities in the hospital setting?

    pagandeva2000 replied to RebeccaJeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is true, we were born out of a need to quickly replenish nurses during a time of 'drought', which was WWII. I see this is an old post, but, what you said just about sums up what LPNs are able to...

    Lvn school vs rn school

    pagandeva2000 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard for me to compare the difference between LPN and RN school since I only went the LPN route. I can say, however, that both nursing programs require a strong commitment, organization and...

    No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is this happening where you all are? I live/work in New York City and work in a city hospital, and in the past few months, the BON sent a mandate stating that techs, CNAs, PCAs, etc...can no longer...

    Nursing to ECG Tech

    pagandeva2000 replied to GlennRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have wanted to gain EKG experience as well. I took a course, found it to be very interesting, but I am not working in an area where I can get the practice. If you can get it, that is great! And,...

    How do I emotionally survive caring for a pedophile?

    pagandeva2000 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure this was a trying experience for you to split your personal feelings from this patient who reminds you of a horrible childhood experience. As mentioned earlier, it does set you apart when...

    Interview on an Inpatient Oncology Unit of Tuesday!

    pagandeva2000 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask if they will pay for you to become chemo certified (or at least how can you go about it). I am not sure, but it is either that you have to accumulate a number of hours in oncology or med-surg or...

    Extra pay for charge?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital pays $3.00 per day for charge. Interesting, because while I would never be in charge of a unit, I am a team leader of a corridor, but get nothing extra for that. And, I think they pay...
