  1. So nervous about actually leaving my hospital job

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    Pretend you just woke from a dream to having to return to your hospital job. Would that make you more or less anxious than you are now? What are you hoping to find in HH, or what would you need to...

  2. Nurse Clueless

    Libby1987 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I have and I just wonder how they made

  3. Concerns, asked to resign, etc.

    Libby1987 replied to LostKitten's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital based is usually safe if not as flexible. Stand alone independently owned need thorough vetting. Who are the post ops going to, ie who are the hospitals referring to? The number of knees...

  4. Performing Vital Signs Without a Policy

    Libby1987 replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was getting at, there needs to be a

  5. Concerns, asked to resign, etc.

    Libby1987 replied to LostKitten's topic in General Nursing

    FWIW, I'm a high producer, perfectionist and multi tasker, I'm the one who boggles my coworkers and new nurses alike..and I don't think I could start out on today's floor and survive. No problem when...

  6. What's wrong with me?

    Libby1987 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    About the lack of warm welcoming, I finally found myself having gone through enough new hires with varying outcomes that I've become more reserved in my getting *friendly* or whatever is the fitting...

  7. What's wrong with me?

    Libby1987 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've neither been eaten nor crusty. I was gnawed on a bit but in such an otherwise supportive enviroment with some really nice nurses, I handled that one directly and all was good in the world

  8. Performing Vital Signs Without a Policy

    Libby1987 replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing

    As part of the underwriting process without any sort of POC, I wouldn't think the nurses would be legally authorized to instruct the patient anything, outside of call 911. On the flip side, if they...

  9. Get off the phone

    Libby1987 replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    In defense of my suggestion LOL, I'm no doormat but I've worked out the customer satisfaction/boundary balance pretty well. I don't struggle with trying to perform my job in lieu of happy customers. I...

  10. RN forging doc's signature

    Libby1987 replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in General Nursing

    OP hasn't clarified what signature this nurse put on the slip, only that md signature is required (for billing no doubt). And OP didn't say that the nurse made a medical decision, OP said he sent off...

  11. Lack of standard care (new nurse)

    Libby1987 replied to superjamiek07's topic in Home Health

    It could be due to poor communication of the current treatment or why a med was changed, but over time these out of compliance patterns should be picked up in an internal audit. Ot it could also be...

  12. Being an individual

    Libby1987 replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't you have home health experience? I'm curious why you chose LTC

  14. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Libby1987 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    How does the incidence of back injuries in PT's

  15. I designed a shirt for named "Love Nurse"

    Libby1987 replied to CathySmith's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like the overall design and colors, but the lettering is difficult to read. I'm not extremely PC, but definitely stereotyping nurse as a female in a white

  16. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

    Libby1987 replied to learnfromthis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She handled that poorly on several

  17. Get off the phone

    Libby1987 replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like it but op mentioned customer

  18. Hard Truth spin off

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking about that thread and whether or not we knew how we'd react to our assigned work and I wondered how others might view the different aspects of nursing. First, I went to school at a...

  19. New to homecare and I need some help

    Libby1987 replied to spartan_nurse's topic in Home Health

    I've never heard of that

  20. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Libby1987 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think out of necessity, if you don't have the equipment, time or staff to do otherwise. I'm hung up on the 35 lbs, that would make it seem the average female isn't safe in doing bedside care,...

  21. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Libby1987 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify, I don't think we should rely on strong

    Libby1987 replied to ioter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I took it to mean that she was working night shift prior to having kids, 10 yrs in

  23. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Libby1987 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing seems to have increasing physical demands and that strong and fit might start being a marketable quality in this competitive job market with increasingly common obesity. I can see a...

  24. Looking for a change, what is a "seasoned" nurse to do?

    Libby1987 replied to lillian87's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to stay in direct patient care without lifting, you can consider home health. There is a lot of problem solving as a case mgr, though not medical diagnosis related. The better...

  25. Get off the phone

    Libby1987 replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this, or "I'll try to come back later" given with concerned shrug or something, but don't be subservient about it. Strong concern helps make a patient feel cared about and they tend to respond...
