    I am about to quit nursing completely

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

    I don't think you are doing anything wrong...most new nurses have to 'shop around' before they get into an ideal situation. Favoritism runs rapid throughout our profession, unfortunately. Most...

    Concerns with brand new nurses

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

    Again, I am reading the posts several times, and I don't really see how the OP was being condescending or judgemental. It seems to me that she was saying that the quality of education seemed...

    Feeling really let down!!!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to 08gal's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of the unfortunate things about LTC is that this is usually the norm for an LPN to have that many patients to care for. It is a horrible situation, to me, and it makes me totally afraid to go....

    every LPN in my hosp was laid off today

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

    I am so sorry to hear that. It makes you wonder the thinking...you do have qualified nurses, but you lay them off, place more on the RNs, and then worry about the lawsuits due to the RNs unable to...

    Concerns with brand new nurses

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

    I also believe that NursePeace did not belittle new nurses as well as acknowledged that she is also relatively new to the field. Some of what I got out of her messages is that the quality of nursing...

    Concerns with brand new nurses

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

    What I do believe is the presentation of these courses, because they are usually given from an individual standpoint rather than a collaboration. What I mean by that is if people are taught about the...

    Rules regarding Training at work.

    pagandeva2000 replied to newlvn08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is unfortunate, but nursing is not an embracing career. We are all left out there too early for comfort, but due to the high patient volume and high turnover of nurses, there simply isn't time. I...

    What Would You Like to Chart if You Can Get Away With It?

    pagandeva2000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a continuation of another thread that got comical (and as per requested by mama_d)...what would you like to chart if you can get away with it? Here are some of mine; "Idiot resident placed in...

    I am GETTING out of hospital work! This is BULL!

    Unfortunately, it seems that these areas are fewer and fewer, however, yes, find the best place for you and run for the hills. Sometimes it takes minute incidents to give us the incentive to cut our...

    Rules regarding Training at work.

    pagandeva2000 replied to newlvn08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe she should have remained to assist you. The next time this occurs, report it to the charge nurse and request assistance. Unfortunately, this is not new or unusual...especially if they have...

    To renew an LPN license or not, once an RN?

    pagandeva2000 replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    But, I can't see it happening especially if the nurse held both licenses in the same state. The BON is the BON for both, and they would investigate both. In addition, unless the RN license has been...

    To renew an LPN license or not, once an RN?

    pagandeva2000 replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    Most people don't bother because no matter what position you are hired as, if something goes wrong, you will be held to the standards of the higher license. And, from what I have seen on the BON...

    Thanks for joining us and acknowledging that being a nurse on any level is a serious responsibility. I had to learn the same thing when I transitioned from being a CNA, Medical Assistant,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we argue it out, I let him pout and that is it. To tell you the truth, we didn't have a reason to differ before regarding politics because it was the same ole', same ole', so to speak. I did...

    Cloth isolation gowns.

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is new to me, the first time I am hearing about cloth gowns! We still use disposable ones. I wonder if it is cheaper for the facility to re-use the cloth rather than constantly purchase...
