    more layoffs

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the nurses I know that work for agencies are telling me that they are getting less hours now than before, unless they are filling in for specific projects. One, for example was brought on for...

    end of my rope...trying to tie a knot and hang on!

    pagandeva2000 replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it is the swing hours you are working that is making it difficult for you to catch up with yourself. I'd rather have steady hours of day, evening or night than a mixture. If you are...

    Am I Wrong To Think This?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that most of the committees are not functional, anyhow. They are more geared towards gatherings to talk trash and do nothing. It does sound like magnet goaled to me...at least being spoken...

    I just wanted to wish my AN family a wonderful, safe, loved and healthy

    Should I continue this??

    pagandeva2000 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you should complete your program and see what happens. There is not always a guarentee that there will be office openings for new grad RNs because for one, those are the 'choice hours'...

    every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

    pagandeva2000 replied to FlowerbuddRN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with you, totally. What happens is that nursing is too whiney...the "this is the job for the nurse (or RN)" can get you in trouble. I have read scenerios where instead of helping the RNs,...

    Is it normal to graduate nursing school & feel like you know nothing.

    pagandeva2000 replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in General Nursing

    Very normal. IN fact, I would be afraid if you walked in, even after years of experience, felt that you know it all and need

    Am I too sensitive - new charge

    pagandeva2000 replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to please everyone, and sometimes, it is not worth trying. In fact, I am sure you would rather not be in charge, so, if you are charging, and don't want to, then, they have to do things...

    You want me to do what????

    pagandeva2000 replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

    Never had to douche someone. Maybe there is a reason, not sure, but I would ask

    The Holiday

    pagandeva2000 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Me, me...I'm home! Have an oatmeal facial on, getting ready to take a scented bath and have some great books to read, a list of television shows I plan to watch, and have to go in tomorrow.

    will it ever end?

    pagandeva2000 replied to newbie26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree, this is a lack of support, which is common for new nurses. In addition, it is usually harder for new nurses to obtain desireable shifts. As mentioned earlier, seek out a mentor. Sometimes,...

    Help Me Please

    pagandeva2000 replied to ICURNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    I can't understand your bosses' reasoning...he would rather that you had given the medication to the wrong patient than to give the wrong med to the correct patient?? Is he kidding?? That is a petty...

    Really questioning things...need to vent....

    pagandeva2000 replied to Kelseyj79's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree; you may have a bit on the plate and are trying to balance everything. But, before you really start doubting yourself, how are you working with your collagues? If they don't have many...

    You are absolutely correct! I live in New York, metropolitan

    Would you nurses like me better if......

    pagandeva2000 replied to yuyu75's topic in General Nursing

    I have to make a correction; there are titles for UAPs (unlicensed assistive personnel) that combine the CNA/Phlebotomist/EKG technician together (so, yes, these two titles sometimes do, in fact,...

    more layoffs

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    We have not gotten a description of exactly who they consider to be 'non-essentials', but I agree with you...if the title was created, then, heck, they need you. What we do have, however, is a...

    i sign your paycheck !!

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    And, tell them that you'll throw darts at them blindfolded after you inject yourself with Demerol. Good one!! Even better! Another thing I hate is when we have to entertain the relatives of the...

    every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

    pagandeva2000 replied to FlowerbuddRN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This happened in my hospital some time back, in fact, around the same time as you, in the late 80s. And, as yours did, they rehired most of the LPNs back. I have seen many see-saw situations happen...

    more layoffs

    pagandeva2000 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    At this moment, there have been no layoffs, but what they have done is announce that there will be job freezes for 'non-essential' positions. Not sure if it would, in fact, include nursing staff at...

    Would you turn family into CPS???

    pagandeva2000 replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I would have reported this fact as well. From what you are saying, the girl is bipolar, would be exposed to meth, and it is true that she needs a stable background. I am curious to where...

    Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should begin with speaking to the resident first. Say that obtaining your phone number without asking you personally made you extremely uncomfortable and you would appreciate that he no...

    Layoffs?

    pagandeva2000 replied to putmetosleep's topic in General Nursing

    WOW...agency decreased to 4 hour shifts?? This is so scary! I just hope all of us here in AN remain safe... My facility is placing a freeze on 'non-essential' positions (don't know what that...
