    CNA or Phlebotomist...or both?

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

    I would do both. Patient Care Associate/Technician positions usually require that the person be trained in both and also in EKG interpetation. It was a win-win for me when I obtained my phlebotomy...

    Reconsidering LPN/nursing after reading online blogs

    pagandeva2000 replied to Dawn674's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Let go

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

    I am sorry to hear that you were let go. I'd dress up as if I were going to an interview in case a prospect comes up. And, for sure, I'd ask for more days or further consideration at the nursing...

    Does being a CNA equal 1 year experiance for lpn?

    pagandeva2000 replied to missbee10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    pagandeva2000 replied to missbee10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry to say it, but your friend is wrong. As mentioned, you may have advantages in school...such as not being as inhibited when interacting with patients, doing intimate things to them such as...

    confused

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

    Depends where your heart is. If you are more interested in administration, then, go for it. I don't know which hierarchy has more advantages, so, I can't say, but do what your heart

    Reconsidering LPN/nursing after reading online blogs

    pagandeva2000 replied to Dawn674's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is true, sometimes, it is not that simple. If you are residing in an area where RN programs are highly competitive, long waiting lists and even if one is unfortunate enough to be able to obtain an...

    Confrontation with a Visitor

    pagandeva2000 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    None of us were there to witness this interaction, so we can't say for sure exactly what happened. What I do hope for, is that at some point, someone can explain to this visitor how or why this...

    pagandeva2000 replied to RN6768's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned that you are a recent graduate. I would focus on working right now to see where you want to go. It may be in a direction that will require that you obtain additional nursing education,...

    An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    pagandeva2000 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe that the OP may expect a hostile environment. It is not new and it does happen often when there is a person who believes differently than the masses. The same as if a person came out...

    Agency/New Grad- Too risky?

    pagandeva2000 replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this, also. Sad, but true. I am concerned about a few things...this is a nurse that has not been able to gain experience (seems to be the going trend these days). She needs to start...
