    Safe OTC Rx for Pregnant Women?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, the original title should have been OTC for over the counter meds. Sorry for the typo! If a mod sees this, can it be

    Confrontational co-workers!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, not everyone is charge material. I really believe that only those who are qualified and WILLING should be given this responsibility for reasons like what happened here. Some people are...

    nurses not giving meds at correct times

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

    Again, as long as the staffing ratios are not realistic or empathetic towards the patients as well as the nursing staff, there will always be someone taking short cuts. It is not that I am advocating...

    nurses not giving meds at correct times

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

    I say to tell this to the money hungry nursing home owners who are too cheap to hire more nurses to provide safe care. I'm sorry, there is literally NO WAY that one nurse can administer medications...

    School nurse / school Cna question

    pagandeva2000 replied to rn2bnwi's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the CNA and even the nurse should have responded when a child has an accident in the restroom. I mean, to go in and ask "What is wrong?" would be a common sense first step to me... (and, of...

    Is it legal to teach CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to freedom22's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who expected the home health aides hired by an agency to administer meds to her grandmother. The aides did not seem comfortable with this and she got very annoyed because she was an...

    School nurse / school Cna question

    pagandeva2000 replied to rn2bnwi's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital has an off site adolescent clinic in a school. They obtain vital signs, order supplies, they may draw blood, make appointments, follow up calls for no shows. It seems to be similar to...

    Confrontational co-workers!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    Good advice from posters so far. One thing to keep in mind is to try and make neutral comments in the future as well...if you look frazzled and are asked, it is easier to say "It's a rough day". I...

    SO ANGRY...help!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to ac123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I believe that ethically, she was wrong...whether she broke a rule or not, I am not sure. Somehow, I suspect that she weaved a web of ungratefulness and entitlement from your asking if you can start...

    why are there still LPN courses?

    pagandeva2000 replied to johnsboo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, personally, I am happy that they have LPN training and positions because I am not and never have been interested in becoming an RN. It seems to be too many extra responsibilities but with the...

    LPN school and a full time job.

    pagandeva2000 replied to rlorenzo24's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you have a cooperative boss that will be flexible with your schedule, you'd be fortunate. I hate to say it, but most LPN programs are very condensed usually an entire day (like 8-4 or 9-5), making...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    pagandeva2000 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    It never ceases to amaze me that nurses are treated like crap during the entire school process and animals at the workplace. I don't know about you guys, but I didn't sign up for this. Magsulfate, I...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't like seeing the blame game thrown around here for nurses that decide to stay home. We are each individuals that have our own priorities. If you are a single parent, a caretaker or are one...

    Anyone experience muscle pain from work?

    pagandeva2000 replied to SICUteam's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes, I had muscle spasms, back pains, and developed heel spurs. You do get used to it, try to stretch, warm baths and if your feet start to fall apart on you, see a podiatrist

    My Room Mate tried to commit suicide tonight.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who feels the same way...she is an RN and she told me that she would not respond to an accident. She stated that even in hospitals, personnel need to obtain assistance immediately...

    do u noe how to interpret EKG??

    pagandeva2000 replied to blackmore's topic in General Nursing

    I took the EKG course and purchased their suggested texts, LindaRN's Dubin book being one of them. Now, looking at them in the text, I can identify them easily, but when I have peaked at monitors or...

    Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    pagandeva2000 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, things work out for a reason. I think it was yesterday when you posted that you were cancelled, wasn't it? Maybe if you had been working more, a negative result would have happened....

    pagandeva2000 replied to scoober33's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It seems that this is the norm in LTC. Also, this is your FIRST position after just becoming licensed. Of course, you will be anxious...in fact, no matter if you had one patient, you will feel this...

    How far can a patient go?

    pagandeva2000 replied to junebride's topic in General Nursing

    I am finding more and more creative ways to demand the respect I need without making a scene...in fact, the patient can go report it, I can admit to it, but it can't be proven that I was disrespectful...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you. I am sorely disappointed with my job right now. I live in New York and work 2-3 miles away from the school that is directly affected with swine flu. I work in a clinic, and heard...

    Can a RN fill a CNA slot?

    pagandeva2000 replied to SkySoldier's topic in General Nursing

    As mentioned, I would inquire with the BON and if it is required, see if you can challenge the test. These days, a person wants to eat and will do what they have to do. If you obtain a position as a...

    Mini Rant

    pagandeva2000 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    When it is posted here or on a blog, I have no issues with it. To me, this is a casual setting where I have less expectations. At work, of course, it should be spelled correctly. I do tend to place...
