    New LPN would like CNA input please

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

    I echo PsychWannaBe...I think bringing in some donuts, bagels and coffee with a card for the floor to say 'thank you' is nice. When they do things, tell them 'thanks' and also explain to them why...

    What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that really, really sad... that years later, with modern technology, that we can be even more miserable? I swear, the computers make it worse, because now, we feel we are running on a timeclock...

    What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    What do you do in school health? Your name indicates that you are a nursing student. And, yeah, as Aneroo basically stated, once you obtain your license and are employed as a nurse, whatever setting...

    Are you proud to be a CNA?

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

    Your sister in law's attitude stinks. She may have told you that you will be doing some of the work that she may not have to, but it strongly depends on where she works. If she worked in a hospital...

    my poor poor friend.......

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

    I feel for her. Try and give her as much support as you can, maybe review some skills with her. Most times, the clinical portion can be very stressful...having someone watching every little step you...

    What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a clinic, am a respected, organized and knowledgable LPN and even I am saying that I want to jump ship. Currently, I am considering Health Education. Maybe there, I can teach people to...

    Nurses, do you thank your CNA/PCA/Nursing Assistant daily?

    pagandeva2000 replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

    I hug them, too!

    There's a Mousetrap In My Med Cart

    pagandeva2000 replied to 99percentangel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What a phenomenal story! Now, the mouse is also called a COW, who is related to "Big Brother", so we are all afraid of mice, rats, raccoons, oppossums and even fictitious creatures like the Loch Ness...

    Glycemic Control-Pregnancy

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know of a website or have any information that describes what sort of glucose reading goals that a pregnant diabetic woman should have? I cannot find it in my textbooks, and am currently...

    Glycemic Control-Pregnancy

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all. What frustrated me is (once more), I am sent to a place where I am not really oriented, just dropped in to view a few basic ways to teach and am on my own. No handy policy and...

    Glycemic Control-Pregnancy

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    :heartbeat It helps tremendously!! I was basically thrown into OB/GYN with no real preceptorship. I really love this clinic, however. I remember reviewing several patients' recorded readings and...

    pagandeva2000 replied to tammy07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How do you manage your day being the only nurse available? Is there an RN available by telephone? What about emergencies? Do you give all of the medications? Most importantly, do you like it? I...

    Best reasons for LPN over RN

    pagandeva2000 replied to Old and New's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I second that!! I would hate to be charge ANYWHERE. I hope that I don't have to work in a place where that would become one of my responsibilities. It is thankless, everyone complains and you take...

    VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    pagandeva2000 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    I would get the letters, anyhow. It is better to be prepared, because there may be so much running around after being accepted that this is not a detail that you want omitted. It may take a bit of...

    Can I work as CNA with RN degree?

    You are correct about that...they would love to pay an RN peanut

    Can I work as CNA with RN degree?

    pagandeva2000 replied to I RN A's topic in General Nursing

    One scenerio keeps coming to my mind. From reading these forums, it seems that in many areas, LPNs are being reduced to working as techs/CNAs if they were employed at hospitals and did not become RNs....

    Were there any nursing skills that you didn't get to do in nursing school?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    The clinic setting forces us to communicate with doctors, but I was poor at it for quite some time as well. However, the more times I was humiliated, the better I had gotten...it did pay to have as...

    New Grad: Mom doesn't want me to work night shift

    pagandeva2000 replied to CCURN87's topic in General Nursing

    Is your mother working in the nursing/medical field? Or does she know people who do? Most people who are not do not really understand that most times, nurses have to work from the bottom, so to speak...

    Proper Documentation!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to sexychocolateLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because most LPN texts are more to the point. I have found that to be true in my case. Nothing frustrates me more than to have to read more than I have to in order to comprehend the

    how do you take the BP in this scenario?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I also think that sometimes, you want to hear it 'live' from a peer rather than a textbook. I tend to be like that, and I read ALL the time. From what I remember, the patient should be lying down,...

    Were there any nursing skills that you didn't get to do in nursing school?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get to do trach care, dressings, tube feedings, catheterization, to name a few. Since graduation in 2006, I had gotten to do trach care on a home case I had, worked per diem in the Step-Down...

    Even though the OP is licensed as an RN? I didn't think that can be done. Unless, maybe she challenged NCLEX-PN as

    pagandeva2000 replied to kay726's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to say with this economy in the Queens area because two major hospitals closed-Mary Immaculate and Saint John's Hospitals. This means that those nurses are already out of work. What I am...
