    Genetic Testing B/4 Taking Coumadin?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that menopause has an effect on the INR. That's why I love this forum...I learn something new every day. If you have more details about this, please share it and the resources so that...

    Genetic Testing B/4 Taking Coumadin?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Is this practice being done in the clinics, now, or was it a sample group of patients? I would also believe that this is better than absorbing the cost for a pricey admission, especially from...

    Desperate for help

    pagandeva2000 replied to beydajel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm sorry that you didn't pass the first time. What I would consider doing is studying during your lunch break. An hour is an hour. Do you drive or take public transportation? If you take PT,...

    Genetic Testing B/4 Taking Coumadin?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. In fact, to even have this printed for the public to possibly panic (as my uncle did) and yet, this drug has been prescribed for YEARS is insane, unless it is actually going to be made...

    pagandeva2000 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I have not worked nights as a nurse, but did it occasionally as an aide. I have no issues with people catching a cat nap as long as care is done, meds passed and there is at least one person awake to...

    Support Tech Fired for Faking......

    pagandeva2000 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    If the hospital has a union, I would not be surprized to see this tech return to her position, as sorry as I am to say it, but I have seen this often in my nursing

    CNA, why does it seem like I'm being tossed around?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Gloin's topic in General Nursing

    I would look in the newspapers, other community college and check with the Board of Nursing in your area for accredited training courses for CNAs. Don't know about Arizona, however, in my side of the...

    pagandeva2000 replied to keno138's topic in General Nursing

    These stories are unbelieveable, but unfortunately, I am not shocked. I don't have horror stories to compare with these doozies, however, I was harassed by the program director for being bright...

    Nurses who smoke marijuana

    pagandeva2000 replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    I have also smoked marijuana in my teen years, but stopped because somehow, it made me feel a bit paranoid...even though it is supposed to be a mellow high. Those days, they were worried about...

    NM and respect issues - need advice!

    pagandeva2000 replied to NellieP73's topic in General Nursing

    I echo this; you do feel disrespected, and this person may be really oblivious to this. You'd be surprized of how we overlook our actions without realizing it. Maybe a meeting is in order, and as...

    I DEFINITELY believe that it is a cumulation of events that probably lead to the OP saying 'screw you'. I think that most of us are just saying not to burn bridges or have a plan to obtain a secure...
