    Welcome to the Sketcher relief club, where you can rest your tired and your poor soles from the years of abuse with other shoes. Isn't it a dreamy place to be? It is for

    Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hopefully, you'll see the response I gave to the OP, because this applies to you as well. I had a horrible clinical experience and even a doubtful orientation as a new nurse. I remember having so...

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Your story is not new...and I am not saying this out of cruelty, I am saying it because I lived it. We had plenty of clinical cancellations because the clinical instructor we had was employed...

    Other Uses of Ritalin?

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    A nurse friend of mine told me that she is noticing that patients with GI issues are being prescribed Ritalin more often. She searched her drug guides and cannot figure out why they are doing this....

    Please help with situation

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

    Sometimes, people are jealous for reasons that are unphantomable to normal humans. The next question I have is if the Altzheimer patient comes from an influential family or a family who will...

    Please help with situation

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

    It seems that this woman has a vendetta out against you, therefore, it would not be a shock (unfortunately) for them to want to report you to the state. Thinking back, have you had run ins with the...

    Please help with situation

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

    I agree. It is beyond me how a person that is so educated can make such a stupid decision. Maybe you pass out medications quicker because you are more organized and more efficient than the others....

    Complaint Against License Issued by Employer

    pagandeva2000 replied to Kell Arellano's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Unfortunately, allnurses does not provide legal advice. Did you have malpractice insurance? If so, you might consider asking them if they have people available to advise you legally. This is an...

    pagandeva2000 replied to shannag03's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am also horrible in math...in fact, I am close to having a phobia in it. However, like you, I planned to become a nurse. So, what I did is take a continuing education course in basic math at a...

    Crushed Future LPN

    pagandeva2000 replied to Hopefull nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Both, RNs and LPNs are licensed nurses, so, it is NOT deceptive to say that you will be, are, or have attended nursing school. And, I'd be curious to know of those that did not make the cut in an RN...

    Allnurses supports our members by allowing them to vent their frustrations as well as share their experiences and joys. We certainly invite you to do the same, however, it is best to close this thread...

    pagandeva2000 replied to cna2lpn80's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Flu clinics are usually fun. Some precautions are simply to remember to check how many supplies you have ahead of time, and especially make sure that you have epinepherine for emergencies. I have...

    LVN schedule

    pagandeva2000 replied to Jessjaz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do the LPN and RN programs have some of the same pre-requisites? An example of that is that while it is true that both, LPNs and RNs take anatomy and physiology, the LEVEL of intensity between the two...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    There are plenty of reasons one might decide to obtain their LPN license. As mentioned by previous posters, the waiting lists for RN programs can be extremely competitive...some have waiting lists as...

    Who is happy and satisfied being an lpn and doesn't plan being an rn? Reasons?

    pagandeva2000 replied to futurenurse1710's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to agree...any of us can become RNs if we are really determined. A person should leave room for advancement in their career, and there is nothing wrong with deciding to remain an LPN or even...

    Who is happy and satisfied being an lpn and doesn't plan being an rn? Reasons?

    pagandeva2000 replied to futurenurse1710's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I never wanted it. I find that a nurse on any level is given a great deal of responsibility but without the real authority. What I mean is that I have observed that more is dumped on RNs than I am...
