    Nursing 2009 vs American Journal of Nursing

    pagandeva2000 replied to swirlygirl's topic in General Nursing

    I liked Incredibly Easy the BEST! And, Nursing2009 (or whatever year) is a close

    Dating Coworkers??

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

    I guess it is hard because work takes up so much of our time that it can be natural to develop an intimate relationship with persons who can identify with our situations and stressors. Many of my...

    NY Mandatory Overtime Bill questions

    pagandeva2000 replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame you. I never said that I trusted the BON...I guess that the questions I had were easily answered, but what they stated versus what is practiced at my hospital is anyone's guess. I hope...

    NY Mandatory Overtime Bill questions

    pagandeva2000 replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    Do you live in New York? I have always found that the BON in NY has answered questions promptly and sent memos related to my questions. Maybe this is new. But, I can also say that facilities try to...

    Abandonment

    pagandeva2000 replied to SonicnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    In most cases, there is another RN in the building for the LPNs and ancillary staff to refer to if something goes wrong. When I worked in psych as an aide, the RN that was going to lunch would always...

    Time frame for med passing

    pagandeva2000 replied to sydylo's topic in General Nursing

    Most people are threatened with this and nothing happens. I am not making light of it, but this is not a realistic goal. These are the horrors in nursing that make people run on the first thing...

    How far would you go to help someone.

    pagandeva2000 replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    I would have been shocked beyond belief!! I would have ran, but certainly would have been calling 911; otherwise, I cannot say what I would have done. I know I would have called 911 as long as the...

    Got fired

    pagandeva2000 replied to Keenay99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is so horrible that these facilities are more concerned about speed and saving money than they are about their patients and nursing staff. I would WANT someone who is asking questions, being safe...

    Your favorite nursing gadget?

    pagandeva2000 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I was thinking; I can copy off of the web site and make my own. I work in a hospital clinic, however, and would have to abbreviate it quite a bit, but I certainly would make a similar...

    With the bad economy do you think that LPN/LVN employment will rise?

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

    The question I have is this; when you say that the Nurse profession wields great power in their favor, which nurse are you referring to...the RNs only or is this inclusive to LPNs as well? I work...

    An abusive nurse husband

    pagandeva2000 replied to urfoxyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that Cherybaby was implying that the woman in question should not protect herself under the law; I just think that making a concentrated effort to report him to the BON alone is not...

    An abusive nurse husband

    pagandeva2000 replied to urfoxyrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would be, also. It is one thing to want to get away from this person...that should be the first and foremost reaction. But, to be personally linked to having him lose his bread and butter?? While...

    Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    pagandeva2000 replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I have had negative experiences with people who have tried to impress me with their medical backgrouds; so, I tend to become very annoyed when people lord it in my face. I've discovered that some...

    Did anyone have a CI who stole from the clinical site?

    pagandeva2000 replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Of course! And using unsterile instruments on the feet of poor, unsuspecting diabetics is downright insane! But, he would rather do that and steal the instruments for his paying patients in the...

    Did anyone have a CI who stole from the clinical site?

    pagandeva2000 replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Many of them seem to have positions lined up with family, friends, etc...and try to obtain whatever they can for free or low cost before they walk out of the door. We had a podiatrist who used to...

    Morale in my workplace is just deteriorating

    pagandeva2000 replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I like the fact that they started losing money due to call ins. May not change anything immediately, but it just shows how much your skill is necessary to keep the wheels oiled. Sorry it

    With the bad economy do you think that LPN/LVN employment will rise?

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

    Oh, yeah, for sure. Most city hospitals (such as mine) in my area retain LPNs, but none of the city hospitals are hiring right now. What they did was after the two major hospitals closed, the state...

    So upset got passed for charge

    pagandeva2000 replied to Emilysmom2, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It could have been. Being in charge can be a 24 hour job. Being part time does not allow for consistency and may not solve the issue of who else would be in charge when the part timer is out. I am...
