    Magnet/Primary Nursing Vent

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

    My heart is broken that we didn't get Magnet the last time (:uhoh21:yeah...RIGHT!). It is true, all nurses are pawns in the game ready to be manipulated for their silly

    Heck, if THAT is slow, they need to get my letter of resignation... I work in the clinic, so, we have our own horror

    every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

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

    It's hard for me to say what is the right thing to do when you are hungry, have to pay bills and care for children. If I did take the position, I would not be the most committed person in the...

    Magnet/Primary Nursing Vent

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I mean...in my opinion, each nurse on each level can have intrinsic value, and meanwhile, they'll dismiss a diploma RN? Comparing programs between diploma and college, I always felt that...

    I fear my CNAs! lol

    pagandeva2000 replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is even more difficult to deal with troublesome staff when there are unions involved, because they have a tendency to retain the good as well as the bad employees. My advice is to watch...

    Magnet/Primary Nursing Vent

    pagandeva2000 replied to Nurs0706's topic in General Nursing

    I loathe Magnet, because as far as I am concerned, they do not advocate for ALL nurses; just RNs and BSNs in particular. I want to say that I am not starting the infamous LPN and RN war, so, please...

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

    I agree, they should be shot in the freaking feet for this. When they let go of NURSES, may they be LPNs or RNs, they leave themselves open for more law suits. Hope they get the pants sued off of...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yeah, we have to look within, no matter what. What I can see is that if one person does change openly, it does change the waves of others around them. Whether it is negative or positive, it does...

    Jean Watson came to our hospital to speak about her caring module because (ta dah), we are again going on the Magnet Journey, even though we failed (deservingly so) earlier this year. It was so...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Care4life's topic in General Nursing

    In fact, what I would do is purchase an NCLEX Comprehensive review book and review that while waiting for a seat to open up again. This way, you'll be up to speed when the class

    It came up from another staff member, and I am in agreement with you, she was open to it. What I suspect actual issue is that once she disappears, it goes back to the same ole same ole behaviors....

    I agree with you, seeing her on a more personal level today, I can sense that she does care, and yes, she is sort of out there...but the metaphysical theme is something I can identify with on a...

    Jean Watson continued her 'tour' today, visiting the units and sharing her views. I feel that her 'theory' is great for personal growth, to do at home, to revitalize ourselves, but not sure if this...

    I am also sorry that this happened, but glad that you were able to assess your weaknesses as a student. As you know, nursing school on any level requires discipline and sacrifice. The license was...

    Yeah...I agree with your professor totally. And, for sure, being mandated, threatened and intimidated to attend a meeting that will not produce a caring administration is not that thrilling. We...
