    New LPN Grad and Agency Nursing Question....Need Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to cygnus85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, you can say no, but keep in mind that if you say no too many times, they will not call you, which defeats the reason why you signed with them from the beginning (to work). In addition, agencies...

    New LPN Grad and Agency Nursing Question....Need Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to cygnus85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    While I advise 'no', I honestly have to say that I had a different experience. I graduated in 2006, my primary job is working in a hospital clinic. I did start agency work a few months later;...

    LPN versus CMA

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

    No one was putting down CMAs. The main points expressed were that they are not licensed to work elsewhere. Their domain is primarily outpatient clinics under the auspice of a physician, and the...

    Do most nurses not want to go into management?

    pagandeva2000 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting how management is being described as the "Dark Side". I understand each reason for thinking so. After awhile, it gets to the point where you can compare it to committing your first...

    pagandeva2000 replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have heard many ends of the spectrum. I believe that if you use the same study habits that brought you the 90 average, chances are high that you will pass NCLEX, because you are placing the same...

    Medication Aide

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohiocleveland's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that if a facility decides to utilize medication aides, if the nurse wants to remain there, she may not have a choice. If it were a situation where that aide takes total responsibility for her...

    Do most nurses not want to go into management?

    pagandeva2000 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I believe most nurses don't want to bother is because they have to 'cross to the other side' and perpetuate the unfair practices and policies that exist and support them, even...

    nurses not giving meds at correct times

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

    It is really hard for me to say whether you should be afraid or not...you gotta be in it to win it. There will be plenty of bumps, but at least you can vent with us! But, there are many inconsistent...

    Opinions on scripting

    pagandeva2000 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    "Stefford Wives" comes to mind for me. I hate it. My facility comes up with that mess every now and then, but there are too many of us and too few really interested in enforcing it (thank...

    Online CPR certification

    My facility also honors on line CPR certifications. I have not used it just yet, but would in a heartbeat if I had no time left or no room in

    pagandeva2000 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    My friend called me this morning to share a similar story. She works nights and went outside to smoke a cigarette. We cannot smoke on the grounds, so she walked to the sidewalk. She saw a person...

    What states allow LPN/LVN in the hospitals??

    pagandeva2000 replied to jeepgirl97's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The OP already stated that returning to school at this time may not be an option for her. Maybe there are other areas that can raise your interest...rehab, corrections, home care? I can understand...

    LPN working in old CNA job?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    to me, a nurse is a nurse and should not be expected to function as a cna on a daily basis. it is fine to pitch in and assist them if needed, but for a nurse, especially a new nurse should not be...

    Wasting Unused Meds

    pagandeva2000 replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that each nurse has responsibility towards their personal practice. Keeping this in mind, if you were not comfortable doing this, then, I can't say that you were too anal. I can see...

    TuTonka wants to know--what keeps you in nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    A mixture of several things. I went into nursing because it was a natural progression from being a Home Health Aide, CNA, phlebotomist, and other titles. I do like to learn about the science of the...

    I'm applying for Nursing School and I want to know if I need a Hepatitis B vacc?

    pagandeva2000 replied to JohannaN's topic in General Nursing

    HeartsOpenWide is correct, many schools offer a waiver; which is basically saying that you decline to take the vaccination. This also means that you are entering into clinicals at your own risk of...

    Were you actually written up, or is it going to happen soon? Sometimes, what gets to me is that attitudes are subjective. What is considerate to one person is rude to the next. There are some people...
