    Truth vs. myths

    LibraSunCNM replied to nurseinthemaking24's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've gathered over the years, I'd say your preceptor is 100% wrong that having malpractice insurance will MAKE doctors/patients/attorneys "go after you" rather than your institution....

    As a Bedside Nurse, What is More Important to you in a Manager?

    LibraSunCNM replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNM now, but my very first job as a nurse was actually on an ortho unit! It's pretty cool, it can just be a LOT of lugging and tugging for the nurses and aides. Good aides are absolutely...

    As a Bedside Nurse, What is More Important to you in a Manager?

    LibraSunCNM replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    THIS! A conflict-averse manager is the absolute worst. Dealing with people is probably the hardest aspect of the job (and why I know a lot of people don't want to get into management), but it's...

    As a Bedside Nurse, What is More Important to you in a Manager?

    LibraSunCNM replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'd rather a strong leader, every day. I've never worked on a unit where the manager ever jumped in and helped by taking an assignment. I can see how that would be helpful/admirable and make staff...

    Feng Shui of Nursing

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree--my brain does much better in an orderly, aesthetically-pleasing environment. I've worked in poorly designed, cramped units with no flow at all and I felt so incredibly...

    Transfer to PPU

    LibraSunCNM replied to LandofMaybe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospitals where I've worked, either an L&D nurse or an L&D tech transported the patient to

    Why is there a shortage of pediatric nurses?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd almost rather loose my licence than violate

    Working as a CNA in SNF vs. Assisted Living

    LibraSunCNM replied to FutureRNMatt's topic in General Nursing

    My grandma was in a Brookdale assisted living years ago. I'll never forget going to visit her there and attending "happy hour" with her, where the residents could have a glass of wine or beer and a...

    Can WHNPs work in the hospital?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Hopefulstudent333's topic in Advanced Practice

    Yes, I've seen WHNPs working in postpartum as well as with the MFM service. Definitely not as common as traditional office jobs

    New grad Midwife! Which job??!?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Ria21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Gotcha. I still lean towards #2 then. New grads don't need a sink or swim environment! Good

    New grad Midwife! Which job??!?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Ria21's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    What are the salaries like? Commute? Any other perks? Do you have to learn to first assist? Will you have support specifically from a team of midwives at either job? Or will you be the only...

    Working as a CNA in SNF vs. Assisted Living

    LibraSunCNM replied to FutureRNMatt's topic in General Nursing

    Assisted living facilities are very tricky. Many, although not all, are notorious for accepting patients who really aren't appropriate for their minimal level of care, and who actually belong in...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This. I literally saw posts the day after the conviction from nurses saying things like "Check on your nurse friends today, we're not OK" in the same way people were saying to check on your Black...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I will say I bit the bullet and joined in a conversation on facebook about this. And I was pleasantly surprised to see folks acknowledge that there were details of the case they were unaware of when...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely, Emergent. This case never needed to be elevated to this level--the BON should have acted more swiftly, taken away her license, and Vanderbilt should have been transparent about...

    Seeking Constructive Feedback

    LibraSunCNM replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, if she wants to micromanage that much, she's welcome to do it

    Help?!?

    LibraSunCNM replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'd go through this list of all the ACME-accredited midwifery programs in the U.S., and start contacting ones that offer a post-master's certificate to see if your previous MSN would qualify you....

    Are You Working Past Retirement Age?

    LibraSunCNM replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    It's one writer's view of The Villages, a massive retirement community in Orlando, which became a conservative stronghold. See Jedrnurse's description above, it pretty much sums up the type of...

    passing boards after going to walden

    LibraSunCNM replied to nursingschooldiva's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You said in another thread you stopped going to NPs yourself after a bad experience with a Walden graduate, and now you're planning to go to Walden to become an NP?

    Are You Working Past Retirement Age?
