    Would you marry any medical professional

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, most definitely, he can't work in my unit! Imagine the argument in the morning and then I'd still have to look at that guy?? Sometimes, I don't want to be the mature, civil

    Would you marry any medical professional

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    You are fortunate to be able to say that you influenced your hubby to become a nurse:yeah:. Mine gets leery each time I rub his hands because he has bulging veins. I'm trying to be affectionate and...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    One of my major concerns for my immediate as well as my extended AN family is that we hold tight during this holiday season with the economic crisis. Please, spend wisely, learn to cut corners,...

    Would you marry any medical professional

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. A good fit is a good fit. I would not turn a potential mate away due to a common profession. In fact, I changed my rule about dating co-workers and now, I have been married close...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Quite a few...and they passed the message on to all of us so we can listen at our leisure. It is a sad state of affairs. One of the disadvantages of working for a city hospital that has unions is...

    $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    pagandeva2000 replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    I would be concerned about this as well, which is why seeing an attorney is the way to go. They are saying this to you with the assumption that you actually do well on probation...well, what if you...

    pagandeva2000 replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, gotta disagree with you there! Sue did NOT mean it the way you may be implying. I have known her long enough as well had enough personal chats with her to know that she was in no way...

    Would you marry any medical professional

    pagandeva2000 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    If the person and I are a great mix, sure I would. I met my husband at my job, but he does not work in nursing...we have peace officers that work for our corporation. I used to work in psych ER as...

    Malpractice Insurance

    pagandeva2000 replied to navydad51's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most agency nurses are required to have their own malpractice insurance, so, since I do that sort of work on the side, I hae to be sure that my malpractice is active. In spite of that, I still prefer...

    Wound care certified right out of school?

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

    From what I saw, classes are offered with no specifications, but I don't know about the certification process...they may very well require a certain amount of experience. I work in Ambulatory Care,...

    You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    pagandeva2000 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    Nope...most don't when it is over. I don't wear polish and long airbrushed nails because I just don't keep up with that sort of stuff. I used to wear earrings as a CNA, but stopped as a nurse...not...

    pagandeva2000 replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at least they are telling you upfront. One of the things I would be curious about is their retention rate. I doesn't sound very desireable, either, but it sounds to me that they may have...

    Re: Is there any hope for a new grad??

    pagandeva2000 replied to sung21heart's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you gain success when you relocate. Otherwise, I guess I would say that I think you should grab something in psych. Are they hiring psych nurses in your area? If so, and you are having a...

    Nurses, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

    pagandeva2000 replied to learning08's topic in General Nursing

    I see myself primarily infused to Ambulatory Care, as long as they let me. While I can appreciate the value of inpatient/floor nursing, it is too hard on the body to me and not as safe for nurses as...

    Glucosamine for Arthritis?

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Many patients are speaking about using Glucosamine to improve arthritis, and I have read that this is made out of shellfish. If that is true, then, should I start asking about allergies to shrimp,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blades's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry this happened. Personally, I would omit it...not mention it at all. As this economy worsens, they may be even more selective with their choices and seeing this on a resume or admitting to...

    My friend is interested in nursing as an easy back-up plan.

    pagandeva2000 replied to scientist's topic in General Nursing

    She is grown and she'll see for herself. I would say some of the suggestions listed by others, but in the end, I would let her lead her life. She will either not get accepted to begin with or midway...

    So sick of people running to management and telling lies.

    pagandeva2000 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I hate this, also. I worked nights as a CNA in a nursing home, and believe me, noc is NOT as easy as people think. True, we are not bombarded with family members and administrators, but, fighting...

    How much from nursing school do you retain??

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    If you are referring to me, well, I can't say that I remember everything, but because I work in a clinic, therefore, because I have to do a great deal of teaching, I have to continue to update myself...

    How much from nursing school do you retain??

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    I find that I say to myself "I remember hearing something about this...". In most cases a nurse masters that area she is most often assigned. For example, I am working in Adult Ambulatory Care, so,...
