    I can't get a hospital job!

    pagandeva2000 replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried long term care, such as nursing homes? It may not be your first choice, but I find that they are more welcoming and needing CNAs. At least you would gain experience. If you are a...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I see both sides...the slackers have been getting away with murder for so long and yet, seem to retain their positions. This leaves the ones that do work hard extremely exhausted, and when they...

    well they closed down a floor of the hospital

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the location, nursing is also being hit hard by the recession. Many posters on this site are saying that facilities are not hiring new grads, agency work is drying out and some hospitals...

    Nurses: we do seduce our patients

    pagandeva2000 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    And, you know what? These days, that is important to know as well. I know of another interesting situation from a friend of a friend (sounds gossipy, I know...). This nurse is married to a man who...

    Nurses: we do seduce our patients

    pagandeva2000 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    You brought up interesting points. If I went to my bank and met the loan officer, would that be considered as unethical if we started dating? What about if I met an irresistable highway patrolman?...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting...I also see that the hospital will do all that they can not to divert because this may mean that they lose whatever dollars gained by those admissions. I find it amazing that space...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is such an interesting observation...a perspective I would not have even thought of, until you mentioned this in a post. Thanks for sharing:yeah:. It makes me think now, to a degree, that in...

    Nurses: we do seduce our patients

    pagandeva2000 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I have a girlfriend, who I think overstepped her boundaries, or maybe had different expectations and an unrealistic fantasy. She was the caretaker of a woman who had ovarian cancer. She noticed that...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Most people are not in the position to take even the slightest risks on their dwindling dollars. I love Vegas, myself. I am not an avid gambler, but I am known to go to some of the peny and nickel...

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure, but patrick1rn's comment on whether an economy class was taken in college seemed to be a bit snide towards the OP's observation. Depending on where one works, this may not be a familiar...

    Nursing Fundamentals

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

    You can get "Fundamentals of Nursing Made Incredibly Easy" (well worth the buy in my opinion) and as mentioned, something about learning basic nursing care from the CNA perspective. I would probably...

    What would you do?

    pagandeva2000 replied to VAJenny's topic in General Nursing

    There is one of those in every location. I feel that you have voiced your opinion to the correct person, and received support when they no longer allowed her to precept. At this point, I would deal...

    management situation with nursing assistant?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mariesmist's topic in General Nursing

    There are two rapists in my area that prey on women standing at lone bus stops. Neither has been caught, yet. And, I suspect, due to the hours, that many of these women are nurses, CNAs, and other...

    management situation with nursing assistant?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mariesmist's topic in General Nursing

    I also have to commend people who take public transportation at night. Depending on where you live, bus stops are dark, cold and isolated. Does this CNA ask the other nurses as well or just you? I...

    Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

    pagandeva2000 replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would agonize if I had to place any relative in one. Sorry, but the staff ratios are too short, nursing staff too burnt out, even if they did care, there would not be enough time in the day to act...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    As mentioned, you do have the absolute right to search for what you want with no exceptions. However, I just wanted to introject and suggest not to group everyone...some people grow out of love, grow...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    That may be a difficult one...the older we get, the more of a chance of divorce, children, etc... My husband had been divorced. He married at an age where he, nor his first wife were mature enough...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Most will say that you must bring in medical or situational documentation. When my boiler bust down last year and had a flood in my basement, I had to provide all of that in order to get paid. This...

    The same for mine, but this adds a new twist. I do say that the abusers need to be reminded, but they might as well just start the disciplinary process and stop acting like punks threatening "If you...

    SO TRUE! Most (not all, but most) men innately do not set out to harm women, especially those known to be caretakers. But the vast majority of females have no boundaries from my experience...and...
