    I just got suspended

    pagandeva2000 replied to calgirl123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If they just suspend you and nothing else, then, I would certainly use this as an incentive to look for better horizons. I sincerely wish you luck, because in such an environment, anything can happen...

    LPN vs RMA

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

    I understand your point. Your intentions are correct. Just know that you can't always change people. All of the titles experience this. LPNs feel that they can do just what RNs can. Now, it is...

    "Nurse" entry on Wikipedia

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ginger's Person's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the issue you have with wikipedia's explanation. I tend to get a bit sensitive when licensed practical nurses are not included within the equation. And, yeah...a farm...well, I would sure...

    "Nurse" entry on Wikipedia

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ginger's Person's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the fact that wiki is great for understanding basic concepts. For some reason, I have to have things explained to me simply. I tend to purchase many publications by "The Complete...

    I just got suspended

    pagandeva2000 replied to calgirl123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How many days did you get suspended for? Are they planning to discipline you further or terminate you? LTC can be a monster for sure with all of the inconsistencies. And a messy MAR is a real...

    LPN vs RMA

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

    I think that you are going about it correctly and marking them wrong gives you the opportunity to enlighten them. No matter how you slice it, when they get in the real world, they will remember that...

    LPN vs RMA

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

    I agree...it would not be too beneficial to do this too often because the institution that hired you would feel you are working against their better interests, and that is to keep recruiting students....

    PLEASE HELP~~~My Job took my license~~~

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

    I would not feel comfortable with them holding on to my ORIGINAL license. Heck, I EARNED it, have the right to show it to others and should not have to pay extra money to obtain another copy of it....

    Experience is important Do u agree?

    pagandeva2000 replied to TP_09's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hard for me to say because I did not work in psych as a nurse and worked in LTC as a CNA, not LPN. What I am wondering, since you have only been in the nursing home for a few days is if you have...

    Pre-hypertension--- systolic BP 120-139?

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. Many people have been around 132/84 (example) and for years and are living healthy lives. When I see an overweight person with that sort of pressure, I think that is great. I hate doing...

    There is a distance learning section here. They seem to be very active. Check them out. And, good luck to you

    pagandeva2000 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    imagine the lpns who are being terminated or reduced to working as techs because they didn't become rns. i think that is not a fair deal. may it be lpns or associate degree rns...many have worked...

    Death....by cheese

    Cheese gives my husband enough gas to smell up a room. Now, if cheese does kill, he'd better watch

    Prayer @ staff meeting

    pagandeva2000 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your thoughts and I so respect your commentary...you have no idea. I believe that what has happened here is evidence of lateral violence in the workplace that has made most of the...

    Prayer @ staff meeting

    pagandeva2000 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    People are individuals, faiths are not always similar, so, I would believe that the people that wish to enforce this consider how it may feel to encounter some of the other faith based...

    Nurse Manager holding on too tight? Defamation?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ranter13's topic in General Nursing

    This is common practice, sorry to say. We have a very controlling ADON who has been famous for doing this to

    No more LPNs?

    pagandeva2000 replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I continue to hear this ominous threat occasionally. Maybe it is because I am happy as an LPN, but it bothers me because it seems that some people really don't want for LPNs to flourish in their...

    Prayer @ staff meeting

    pagandeva2000 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the issue at hand. The person that does approach the ADON may be in danger of hazing, and of their secure position at work. I remember once, about 5 years ago, staff members...

    Prayer @ staff meeting

    pagandeva2000 replied to HIPPIECHIKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. In cases like this, the same people who demanded the prayer may be the ones to haze the ones that speak up openly about it. If anything, maybe an anonymous letter to the ADON first...

    ooh nooo !!

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if people were terminated due to actions, more appreciative nurses would be hired that would provide better care and teamwork. There are excellent agency nurses that come to our...

    I just got my score! Do i have a chance??? HELP!

    pagandeva2000 replied to JiLi305's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depends upon how many seats are available, how competitive the program is. There may be more expectations besides just that exam that may assist you. Good luck! You may still make

    CNA/Caregiver job q & A

    pagandeva2000 replied to la mama 310's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You should have a description of duties provided by your agency when you are hired. Most times, it can consist of making beds, making LIGHT meals (no gourmet cooking), cleaning the immediate area...

    NYC CNA's

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

    I would probably start the PCT when the HHA is complete because this way, there is no confusion between the courses. I suspect you should still be completed within your goal of starting to place...

    CNA or Phlebotomist...or both?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Samantha2587's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I also believe that taking an EKG course is great for CNAs because I am seeing now that they are hiring techs to monitor EKG tracings in the hospital. AND, it darned sure helps while attending...
