    pagandeva2000 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Should I take Chem, API, and Micro in same semester?

    pagandeva2000 replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    I just don't know if taking a chance in classes that count would be a wise idea if the OP knows for a fact that there are certain weaknesses to be addressed, such as math. I say this because it...

    Should I take Chem, API, and Micro in same semester?

    pagandeva2000 replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    Math has always been a disaster for me, and the demands of three science classes is deep for the average person. My main concern is being sure to obtain the highest grade possible. Many students...

    pagandeva2000 replied to stormyfeathers's topic in General Students

    only you know yourself. personally, i would not. science took a great chunk of my time and sanity away, and taking more than one a semester would have been suicide to me. if you decide to, just...

    What a terrible way to start off the new year

    pagandeva2000 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    the problem seems to be the lack of patience on your part. even entering into an rn program will not make you a nurse within a year. you stated that you have to complete pre-requisites, anyhow, so,...

    Lpn's: Are we still in demand?

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

    Any chance in heck of getting an ER position?

    pagandeva2000 replied to M60802's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to echo Jules A. It REALLY depends on where you live. It may be difficult to get an ER position with no experience at all because LPNs (in theory...not necessarily practice) are basically...

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

    Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    pagandeva2000 replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this! I have always found that the night shift is mostly ignored, rarely considered during these decisions, which, is a shame. The kitchen is usually closed and they had to fend for...

    Nursing Unions

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union
