    Not Much difference in job duties by a PCA and LPN?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I am not one of the LPNs that wish to become an RN. I think the BON would give a more accurate description of what LPNs can or cannot do. The facility may have their own rules, but they cannot...

    Hospital broke contract and now wants ME to pay 20,000!

    pagandeva2000 replied to imalilteapott's topic in General Nursing

    Most contracts in my area say that if a position is not obtained within the facility that sponsored you within a year, then, you can leave. I think you have to investigate that portion of it first....

    Care Plans - What does the Experienced Nurse Think of Them?

    pagandeva2000 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe they are a waste of time. Writing redundant notes...the same mess in different areas are second on the list. All of this, in my opinion, takes time away from the patient. We spend...

    Nursing Week Suggestions

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My friend recently got elected as Chairperson for the Education Committee at my job and all committees are expected to participate in nursing week. I am not on a committee, but because she is my...

    Should I go for LVN or RN

    pagandeva2000 replied to want2banurse09's topic in General Nursing

    That would be helpful. Find out what they have to say, ask questions about the RN waiting list and see what happens. I'd also ask questions about LPN career options in your area to see what they...

    Thank you very much. I hated the sucky activities they had over the years. Hopefully we can add some spice this

    Should I go for LVN or RN

    pagandeva2000 replied to want2banurse09's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on a few things...is there a long waiting list for the RN program? What are the prospects for LPN employment in your area? Because if LPN opportunities are not plentiful, and RN is your...

    i dont know what to do, please help.

    pagandeva2000 replied to missmoe's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen so many rumors within nursing such as misunderstandings about policy and procedure, practice, etc... that lead to unsafe predicaments that have the potential of ruining people's lives...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    At this point, I am feeling the same way. There is nothing wrong with being 'me'. I don't see CNAs defending their positions on a daily basis, so, why should

    Jackson, MS CNA or LPN

    pagandeva2000 replied to kcstringer's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA is the shortest program you can complete to get an eyeball view of what nursing conditions are like. Applying straight to an LPN or RN program is not bad, either, but in most cases, once you...

    Do Away with LPN's What will LPN's Do?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. It is imperitive to be cognizant of one's atmosphere and the sings of the times. To deny that this may happen at a particular facility is naive if you already see the writing on the wall....

    Do Away with LPN's What will LPN's Do?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder, myself. I think that I'll make plans to learn other skills if in case, this does happen. That was the issue I was saying in the last thread. Talk about getting rid of people is one thing,...

    I'm afraid for my pt. and afraid to go to work.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Peggy4's topic in General Nursing

    I would call CPS and whoever else I could possibly think of. Maybe calling the hospital is not a bad idea, either, but I would certainly be calling an outside agency to inform about this situation...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    Now, that, I can understand. They are certifying CNAs to administer medications under certain circumstances, dressings, foley insertion, etc... and their actions, whether positive or negative, affect...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    one thing i can say...if the lpn role equates to the role of a cna, even with the additional knowledge that we have acquired, and have been allowed to be licensed all of this time, then, this shows...

    pagandeva2000 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just to show how things can turn quickly... Thank goodness I asked to be cross trained! I worked in Eye Clinic and GYN so far. Not many of the nurses in Ambulatory Care worked in that clinic, and...

    Gardisil

    Does anyone know whether or not a pregnancy test has to be given before the administration of Gardisil? I was told today that this should happen, and the patients should be taught not to get pregnant...

    Multitasking is the wave of the future! At least, if this happens, you'll have a gentle introduction, one that is not marred with intimidation and fear because this time, you have earned their...

    like i said, getting a chance to 'play' with your newly acquired rn license is a good thing...i mean, you did earn it, and should be able to practice, even if it is occasionally. if your current...

    MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    pagandeva2000 replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    This is unique, but with the examples provided by travel50 and Straydandelion, I guess there are some times that it may be worth a try, especially if there is organ damage. I would be questioning the...

    pagandeva2000 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good thing, now that you are an RN...I always thought that hands on experience (especially for an RN who needs to hone in on her assessment skills) is the best way to go. In addition, if...
