    Burnout Rx

    pagandeva2000 replied to ACRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I laugh at this, because it takes more schooling (the situation I detest the most...I HATE SCHOOL!!!), and that may be a deterrant from moving on, but enough is enough. It doesn't seem real to me...

    Nursing Shortgage... NO NOT REALLY!

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

    Where in New York are you applying? I have observed recently that they are not hiring as many LPNs in hospitals as they were, especially with two major hospitals closing down in Queens. My job is...

    "Doctors ready to treat all our behavioural quirks"

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least you keep us entertained and thinking. Maybe you need behavioral modification?? I mean, I am sure that a creative person can make up a care plan for your condition, but if they...

    I burned my bridges 4 years ago....(need advice)

    pagandeva2000 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I would also give it a shot. If she is there and she seems to remember you, apologise and explain the situation...that you did give notice. The worst she can do is not hire

    Burnout Rx

    pagandeva2000 replied to ACRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I also read a great deal and look at documentaries. I also decided to cross train in a different department. Now, the cross training is a double edged sword, because while I am getting a chance to...

    Why is it nurses put up with such poor conditions?

    pagandeva2000 replied to scared'o'needles!'s topic in General Nursing

    Fear and intimidation is why nurses put up with this crap. Many times, there is one person who is willing to speak up, but the problem is that other nurses who are afraid will push this person to...

    Does any Rns who work in a hospital have LPNs assigned to them?

    pagandeva2000 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    Some of us become LPNs because of long waiting lists and extreme competition for RN programs. Others like myself just do not find becoming an RN that interesting. I don't want to be charge, don't...

    pagandeva2000 replied to mrsmoo2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I also live in New York. The hospitals in my area (Queens) have still be using LPNs, but are limiting them to work certain areas such as post partum, med-surg, IV nurses, clinics. In fact, I...

    Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that since I have been calling them doctor all of my life, it is not unusual for me. Now, working as a nurse and witnessing that some of them seemed to have graduated from a school advertized...

    CNA vs CMA and training

    pagandeva2000 replied to jstreat0418's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is better to take the CNA course with the additional classes in EKG and phlebotomy rather than CMA, because it is cheaper and CNAs have more options for employment. CNAs work in hospitals,...

    In the event of a lay-off, who gets axed first?

    pagandeva2000 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a union hospital and they lay off by seniority. What I have seen happen, however, is that they may add pressure to the senior employees to retire out or take a package, but now, with no...

    Question for "home care" LPN/LVN's

    pagandeva2000 replied to FutureNurse_203's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It depends on the case. Some families are misinformed of the role of a nurse in their home. We are not there to babysit the entire family until the parent comes home, are not responsible to do major...
