    Is it just me or is everyone a little slow when they start out in LTC

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

    I have never worked LTC, but I have to assume that in time, once confidence is built and having a better handle on the routine, sure, you would become more

    Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you there...when it comes to money...especially my money, I would like to know if there is an issue that is placing my money at risk. The issue I have is how was the information...

    Do You Keep It to Yourself That Your a Nurse Outside of Work?

    pagandeva2000 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Curious...what do you mean by this? For one the OP stated she is an LPN, in addition it is illegal to misrepresent oneself as something they are not. Also, this can be taken that only RNs considered...

    Do You Keep It to Yourself That Your a Nurse Outside of Work?

    pagandeva2000 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I would rather not mention it, but because I travel to work with my white uniform, they usually know. To be honest, I have told some people I am a CNA or nursing student because I don't like to be...

    NJ LPN wants to return to LPN school

    pagandeva2000 replied to opal09's topic in General Nursing

    Jules, I LOVE your cat!! It is a longer, harder process to be accepted for government positions (unless you know someone), so that is not a measure of success...please continue to try. I wish the OP...

    pagandeva2000 replied to KimmieKoo72's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think you are wrong for reacting the way that you did because you were new to the floor and unfamiliar with their practice, but I would also check with the BON to be sure that you are, in...

    NJ LPN wants to return to LPN school

    pagandeva2000 replied to opal09's topic in General Nursing

    I often wondered what nurses in your predicament had available to feel confident enough to return to the workforce. I believe that a refresher course would be great, but only if there are other...

    Is this even LEGAL?!?!

    pagandeva2000 replied to maestrotee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is conicidental...and not surprizing to me at all. Sometimes, unions have to know when to hold and when to fold. Everyone needs their job, especially these days. And we pay the unions to...

    Anyone wanne to help me! I need an answer!

    pagandeva2000 replied to lpn2icu's topic in General Nursing

    You should contact your BON and find out if on line education is accepted in your area, and maybe even which on line programs they accept (if they

    Is Being Loyal Worth It?

    pagandeva2000 replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    It is insulting to me to offer a penny an hour and expect for any hard working nurse to be grateful. In fact, it is a slap in my face to be offered slave wages for my education and effort. So, I...

    how do you expect me to pay for this???

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    That is true...my girlfriend had to purchase medication for her grandmother. The script was for Nexium, but, the pharmacist told her that OTC Pepsid would also be acceptable. My hospital doesn't...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    :up:I understand. I also want you to know that the response I made to your post was in no way trying to challenge your idea or experience...I was basically piggybacking on what you said based on...

    how do you expect me to pay for this???

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that this depends on the population. We deal with immigrants and the poor, many of them are not educated. A great number of my patients do actually believe that they are entitled to free...

    Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    pagandeva2000 replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that the anti-social disorder may be related to frustration of not being who you really are? You mentioned that when you presented as Kristy, that you were not anti-social, so this is...

    Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    pagandeva2000 replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    I have not worked with a transgendered nurse (that I know of). I worked with gay nurses who seemed to have been respected by their peers, superiors and patients, and then, there were others that were...

    What to do when others wont answer their own call bells?

    pagandeva2000 replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't say that I blame you. The bottom line is that not one person can do everything. If so, then, your own patients and body will become neglected. Patient care cannot be done alone, and those...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a city hospital where self pay patients can receive their prescriptions at our hospital for $2. Anyone with insurance is referred to outside pharmacies. Even with this, we have some that...

    Someone forged my signature!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    Not only should she not be near patients, but nowhere near other nurses. It is obvious that her habit is harmful to her collagues as well. Is it right that a person with a habit beat the crap out of...

    One cannot say for sure if the OP or anyone can lose their license, but who needs the aggreviation?? If I didn't do it, I should not have to worry about someone forging my name to ANYTHING. I don't...

    Considering the current economy, I would take the full time position. As mentioned, most times, the per diems are first to be cancelled if the census is low, and the chances of that happening is...

    Nothing surprizes me and I hope that these nurses are disciplined to the fullest extent possible. To dare to ruin someone else's living behind their habits and greed deserves to be
