    Knowledgeable vs. Caring Nurse

    pagandeva2000 replied to maab's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to say, but experience has shown me that a person that took the time to obtain the knowledge by continuing to read, take continuing education classes and applies their knowledge is a caring...

    What would you do in my situation? just looking for opinions.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nina2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would also fight the decision. I mean, if the child (God FORBID) swallowed an overdose of pills and did not die, does that mean that you have to be charged?? I don't mean to bring up an extreme...

    Please tell me I am not alone

    pagandeva2000 replied to 1styearsucks's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear that this happened. I would probably not admit that I worked at this place and start fresh. Complete your treatment and be well. I can understand your feelings-textbook versus...

    NYC CNA's

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

    Just dropping a note to wish all of you well with your searches and career goals. I also hope that this recession does not last for a long time. I don't have a great impression of Allen school...

    Thinking about becoming an LPN and NEEDS HELP!

    pagandeva2000 replied to nrp_84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some people find that RN programs are more competitive when trying to get into fresh, with no nursing experience whatsoever, and also discover that it is easier to transition into bridge programs upon...

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    What I notice is that some people are saying that the OP over-reacted, to just let it roll off of her back, etc... I disagree, because the bottom line is that people feel free to make derogatory...

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    And, even if you decided to remain an LPN for longer or the rest of your life, there is nothing wrong with that,

    Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me started...I have experienced the same thing. People have said "Oh, you are so smart, you are always reading...why NOT?" I have heard this so often that my response has been even more...

    Need your help please

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

    That is true, that accepting money from friends can lead to another realm that is hard to return back from. Things do change when the roles take a

    Dealing with Violent Children

    pagandeva2000 replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    You can't control how these people parent, but I would not allow MY child to be exposed to any of this! What sort of trust would your daughter have in you if she continues to tell you she is afraid...

    Client Transport, & Home Health Aide

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

    So, she didn't care that she was wearing down YOUR car as long as she preserved her own? I would have left, also. That is purely taking

    I don't hate my job, I hate the people I work with

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

    I don't hate my job, I hate the people I work with

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

    Are these other nurses you are working with or CNAs? I would probably slow down a bit. Not enough to stall the entire show, but in order to save yourself. I agree with Jules in that I like to be...

    online LVN program?

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

    A great deal of students coming into an LPN program (not all, but many) have no nursing background whatsoever, and the LPN program is basically the foundation of nursing. You need to know the...

    Read the thread before you post!!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not mad at you. I think what happens, however, is that the juicier threads have over 700 replies, and after reading a few hot responses, people just want to jump right in, so it is hard. One...

    LTC to Med/Surg

    pagandeva2000 replied to CeceRN's topic in General Nursing

    The above poster gave good advice. If you are having a hard time trying to obtain ANY position, I guess anything is better than nothing, but you would probably have to aggressively seek a more...

    Having Problem with Manager

    pagandeva2000 replied to LelaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Have other people left that department? If the manager has a high turnover rate, she may be trying to block your leave to save face. Other times, it can be out of spite, or because they really value...

    Working for 2 hospitals: How to do it?

    pagandeva2000 replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait a year until you are more confident. Of course, only you know yourself, but, sometimes, the differences in policy/procedures, equipment use, computer documenting (if done), paperwork,...

    Basic Pharmacology For Nurses by Clayton Stock Harroun

    pagandeva2000 replied to missjennmb's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did not use that book for nursing school but purchased it on my own and found it a bit easier to understand, but from what you describe about your professor and remembering for format of the book, I...

    Hiring freeze lifted at certain hospitals?

    pagandeva2000 replied to girls1's topic in New York Nursing

    HHC does have a tendency to list positions to be 'pc' while they have already hired. There is a strong rumor, however, with Mary Immaculate and Saint John's hospital closing, funds have been given to...

    LPN school changed minimum grade

    pagandeva2000 replied to shady2178's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I believe that the school can change their grade requirements when they like to, as hard as that can be. And in most cases, they round DOWN rather than round UP, so, yes, a 79.999%=failure. My...

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

    I am sorry to hear that your husband passed away. Are you asking if you should take the LPN or RN course? Are both of these offered at the same school? I ask this because while the college level...
