    Ma To Lvn

    pagandeva2000 replied to CampPenKidd's topic in General Nursing

    Then, there is no way that you would be able to work in Labor and Delivery with Medical Assisting Training. In fact, depending on where you live and the scope of practice for the LPN, even practical...

    Nursing schools with SANE policies

    pagandeva2000 replied to carolanivey's topic in General Nursing

    This is standard, unfortunately. From what I see, even in community colleges, in fact, even moreso, because traditionally, community colleges do not carry the same reputation or prestige of private...

    is it bad if i dont go to the christmas party tonight?

    pagandeva2000 replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    You see what I mean?? Just because you chose not to attend, they opt to make you pay for it in spades?? How petty is that?? And, many of the people that attend these things are forced to so that...

    is it bad if i dont go to the christmas party tonight?

    pagandeva2000 replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    I am really against attending parties sponsored by the job in outside locations. No matter how you slice it, most people are observing behavior to discuss the following day...who drank too much, who...

    Hyperglycemia related to inhaler use

    pagandeva2000 replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Are there any references that state that inhaled steroids can't cause elevated serum levels? I would like to know just in case I have to prove it to someone. Thanks again,

    Hyperglycemia related to inhaler use

    pagandeva2000 replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    this is a good question because i always pondered this. at the moment, i am agreeing with nightmare. what i do when i speak to patients about this (because i am not quite sure) is that it is really...

    Has anyone else ever failed Nursing 101

    pagandeva2000 replied to Lericalpoet's topic in General Nursing

    One of the reasons why I think Nursing101 has taken many people by surprize is because nursing questions are far different than any other subject. It is not just memorization involved, but critical...

    I really think I've been set up.

    pagandeva2000 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    believe it or not, my hospital didn't have med-carts for quite some time. they actually expected nurses to run back and forth between patients pouring medications one patient at a time rather than to...

    Contributing to a group gift for your NM?

    pagandeva2000 replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Depends on how many people are participating. If it is about 20, then, I think tha t$5 a person is enough. To be honest, I hate those sorts of things, because it doesn't take into consideration the...

    What changes do you think will happen ?

    pagandeva2000 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason why I don't think they would use Medical Assistants in the place of bedside nurses is because of the new rules of medicaid, and the possibility of law suits. I remember there is a...

    What *other* jobs are LVN's qualified for?

    pagandeva2000 replied to RN/Mom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    For now, I would probably consider a medical assisting position, because it can be used as experience if the words are played with carefully. Any money is better than none, and a physician would...

    This Current Recession!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to puppyrules's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that nursing is not recession proof. It may be in some places that nurses are the last on the list to be considered for layoff (and I can even be wrong with that), but nonetheless, we can't...

    New LPN trying to choose between 2 Jobs!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Crys215's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not saying that you are...just warning before you go, if you do. As a new nurse, you want to learn as much as you can, and sometimes, it happens best when people are more comfortable in...

    New Nurse needs some help... please!

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

    I would probably have an informal chat with her with a few dates and examples of how she is being a bit defiant and tell her that these offenses can be documented in her file if it continues. And, if...

    New LPN trying to choose between 2 Jobs!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Crys215's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Employees working for a hospital that has a union are eligible for bargaining in case of disciplinary action. You'd be entitled to representation and a person that is supposed to advocate for your...

    How difficult is it to find work in your area?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Art&Science's topic in General Nursing

    We just had a meeting at our hospital yesterday about a similar thing-reimbursment rates are low for medicaid, but we need them, so, we have to be sure that all of the "I"s are dotted and "T"s crossed...

    Tired of attitude from certain PCA!!! (LONG)

    pagandeva2000 replied to j_b_221's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not surprized. And if your hospital or their position is unionized, then, I am even less shocked. It's unfortunate, because the nurse is ultimately responsible for all aspects of patient care,...

    No, but the next intelligent instructions given by morons will be to spit on the ground, get on your knees and clean it with the toothbrush.

    ICD-9 coding

    Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    pagandeva2000 replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    I have seen so many wild ways that IV medications were hung that I am still not sure if I am really doing the correct thing. I work in a clinic, so, I only see what is happening when I do med-surg...

    I'm not sure about what is happening in New York. I was already working as a PCA at my job, and since I was offered a leave with pay along with tuition paid to enter into an LPN program, they were...
