    I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

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

    After reviewing this thread, it has been observed that there are still some inflammatory remarks made even after being warned not to. We can agree to disagree without personal attacks or taking the...

    I need a lot of help, failed out of nursing school

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

    I am sorry to hear that you have to repeat a certain portion of your program. It is difficult to repeat something again, however, I also see that most of the posts were very encouraging and...

    Foundations of Nursing E-Book

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

    I certainly wish you the best of luck in trying to obtain your book for school. You might try Amazon, Barnes and Noble, (there is a discount textbook website but I can't think of it at this time-sorry...

    Why is there no medical terminology class for the RN program? Among others.

    pagandeva2000 replied to amanda1266's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes, continuing education programs may offer this class...such as programs like medical assisting, CNA, etc... I took it a long time ago when I was taking a medical billing course. Threw away...

    Why is there no medical terminology class for the RN program? Among others.

    pagandeva2000 replied to amanda1266's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would probably purchase Medical Terminology for Dummies or something of the sort. It is important because understanding anatomical terms can greatly assist a nurse in her career. I can understand...

    I need info from NY LPNs please

    pagandeva2000 replied to JDougRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I also believe that there is 'wiggle room'. If I were an RN, and had to have someone report abnormal observations, I would sure be happy that I can trust that an LPN...a NURSE knew what they were...

    I need info from NY LPNs please

    pagandeva2000 replied to JDougRN's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think that anyone is arguing the scope of practice...I think that the OP is saying that this person should not be totally displaced. I am not an RN, so, I don't really know what it is to...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I not arguing with you (or any RN) about the fact that an agency is lowering their rate of pay for the Registered Nurse...I would be upset as well. I am not sure if this is generational, because I...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    I can see how the hospital may get more funds for hiring RNs than LPNs...it seems to be about dollars and cents. They ask for more, and if the funds are not used, they won't be granted again (I know...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    And, I also just want to add that for me, not getting basic recognition as a nurse is not the most distressing for me. A clear slap in the face is when (some-not all) nursing collagues show open...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

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

    Very true...how would an RN feel to have to justify their very existence, having to explain to people on a constant basis why she works the position she works (the old question...WHY aren't you an...

    Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    You have not been specific on what you feel gets LPNs or ADNs ruffled, so, it would help to illustrate what you are speaking about. However, if a person or group of people try to make ANYONE devalued...

    Should I stay or should I go?

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

    I agree with the others. I hate to say this, but it is very difficult for nurses to find jobs they are totally satisfied with. I was also fortunate enough to walk right into a clinic job at the same...

    Is it appropriate for a Supervisor to throw staffing paper in your face?

    pagandeva2000 replied to mcpkin's topic in General Nursing

    What is frightening to me is that this economy may not allow for you to jump into another position so easily. This doesn't mean I wouldn't start searching, though. If there is a meeting, I would...

    Those who want to get out of nursing..

    pagandeva2000 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I have been in various positions in the medical field including PCA, Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, Psych tech and phlebotomist; so, I thought I was well prepared for the snaffos I witnessed...

    pagandeva2000 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way as most...the patients themselves don't get to me the same way as other nurses and administration grate my nerves like screeching chalk on a blackboard. But, I also hated school...

    PDA's for Student Nurses??? Helpful or Not???

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

    PDAs can be a wonderful resource to use. The only thing I would be careful about is it being stolen or misplaced. In addition, see if your school allows them. Mine

    Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Most people aim for what they were trained for or their area of expertise. If that is not available, it doesn't take much of a reminder that something is better than nothing and will take...

    Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    That is understandable...she has higher learning and therefore, is responsible for all outcomes because the LPN is licensed versus the CNA is not. What disturbs me is that I am hearing on these...

    Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts for both of these comments is that it could be that in this economy, the LPN that wishes to work as a CNA may only be doing so because she/he is having difficulty finding a position that...

    Need advice for schooling! LPN vs A.A.S in Nursing

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

    Any LPN has to sit for NCLEX-PN to become licensed. After graduation, your school should be offering a certificate of completion for the LPN program. If it is easier to enter into the LPN program...

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

    It is unfortunate that these experiences are usually the ones that greet new grads first rather than situations that show us the positive side of nursing. Happens more times than I wish to say. I do...
