    Does the Human Resource have the right to ask how many times you took NCLEX

    pagandeva2000 replied to ProudtobeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was about to say that. I have a friend who waited close to a year and a half before sitting for NCLEX-PN, and then another 8 months even before searching for a position. They didn't ask her when...

    What do you think of this job description?

    pagandeva2000 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like a Patient Care Technician/Associate position. Most descriptions for those titles include the majority of the things you listed. Go try

    Pre requisites

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

    If you are attending a vocational school, you may still have to take college level pre-requisite courses. Once you pass them (and in most cases, the pass needs to be at least B-B+ due to the...

    Gift Idea: Pharmacy

    pagandeva2000 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Some places sell those large barrels of at least three sorts of popcorn; cheese, regular and caramel. Or a box of cookies and some coffee. Just

    Nonlicensed personnel and arterial lines

    pagandeva2000 replied to seasonednurse78's topic in General Nursing

    What I am curious about, regarding a court issue is if the facility themselves have hired and supposedly trained this person to perform this skill, then, why would a judge place blame on the RN?...

    Do patient's have the right to smoke even if family doesn't want them to?

    pagandeva2000 replied to chuchie's topic in General Nursing

    I never worked in LTC as a nurse, so, I wouldn't know. I would like to believe, however, that, if the patient is oriented x3 and has no disability that would harm them, then, they should have a...

    I need an LPNs advice....

    pagandeva2000 replied to windmill182's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The main thing that disturbs me with statements like this is that it seems that people are allowing someone else to place value on them. I see no issues with wanting to move up the ladder, may it be...

    I need an LPNs advice....

    pagandeva2000 replied to windmill182's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    it does never cease to amaze me when people say "the nurses and the lpns...". call us both by our licensed titles, for god's sake...lpns and rns. or just nurses, because we all are. that does tend...

    Frustrated and Torn

    pagandeva2000 replied to ladynurse1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You didn't mention in this post what you do for a living...if you are already a CNA, maybe you can reduce your hours to part time while you complete the nursing program. Either way, I would certainly...

    Lvn program, Is it worth it?

    pagandeva2000 replied to juliesgtarius17's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am wondering if you can enter a private RN program where you can get it overwith. Most of the community colleges (at least in my area) are overcrowded with students that are competing for entrance...

    Ny Rn School With No Nln And Entrance

    pagandeva2000 replied to Dionyonce's topic in General Nursing

    there is no way around it, from when you posted yesterday to now...most schools require some sort of entrance exam, pre-requisites and one has to work hard to obtain either license by completing a...

    Are Lvn's Allowed To Do Initial Assessments??

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

    I think it depends on the state. I live in New York and while I know for a fact that we cannot do initial assessments in hospitals, I cannot say for sure whether they allow us to do them in LTC...

    Can't Find a job!!! This wasn't supposed to be this hard!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Frustrated in Cle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, this thread started close to a month ago, and I am wondering how you are doing, now. It could have been that you had no license number at the places you applied to and it is also true that...

    Need Easy RN school Ny or Jersey

    pagandeva2000 replied to Dionyonce's topic in General Nursing

    No school I know of is going to admit anyone without some sort of test to evaluate their current skills. Some require the NLN, others, NET, some are college entrance exams that include algebra,...

    Need Easy RN school Ny or Jersey

    pagandeva2000 replied to Dionyonce's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say, there are no 'easy' RN programs. Now, there are some students that are naturally bright and pick up a bit better than others in lectures, but the bottom line is most nursing programs...

    Am I wrong because i don't want to do CNA duites

    pagandeva2000 replied to zoeyzoe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone actually LOVES cleaning 'poo'...we just know why it is necessary to do so. When I work per diem on med-surg, what I don't like is that I can be distracted from doing things like...

    spoken to at work

    pagandeva2000 replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so, you ask too many questions for a busy floor and they are questioning if you are safe?? I would be more worried about the arrogant person who doesn't ask questions at all, does what they...

    $900 for an Echocardiogram

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm convinced...I entered into the wrong area in health care. I need to obtain some equipment, charge ridiculous sums of money and relax than be a nurse. I remember they charged close to $100 to...

    FURIOUS! Ambulance Refused to Transport Patient

    pagandeva2000 replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably report it as well for several reasons...one being a teaching or rather a receiving of education for myself. I need to know what is legal and what is not, and how it is to be handled...

    Med error and im not even a real nurse yet!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to kknarfs's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the school is being understanding of the fact that mistakes do happen and this can be used as an important lesson to the student. Also, I question schools that really have a 'zero...

    Can someone "dumb down" blood pressure for me?

    pagandeva2000 replied to RNfromMN's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that may be helpful for you is to purchase "Hypertension for Dummies." Seriously...this is not an insult. I SWEAR by those "Complete Idiot Guides" and "Dummies" books because they give...
