  1. The Fat One

    Libby1987 replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I recently went round and round with a coworker (I love her and this wasn't hostile) who called me out on describing one of our visitors whose names were unknown to us (to single her out of 3 women)....

  2. To tell or not to tell!

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

    First, I want to know if these nurses have time to pee and take lunch. Second, don't tattle on anyone that 1) isn't immediately endangering anyone 2) you can't out perform. I understand high...

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    OTOH you can use this opportunity as a way to obtain HHA experience and get your speed up, then if the hours are unreasonable you can find another HHA job. I prefer to be paid by the visit, hourly...

    Libby1987 replied to Noahj's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

  9. Fired/Devastated Part 2

    Libby1987 replied to SweenyG's topic in General Nursing

    I might use terms like mixed message re my progress. Another thing about precepting, simply following your preceptor and/or being told to manage time better is not instructional. I don't think...

  10. Fired/Devastated Part 2

    Libby1987 replied to SweenyG's topic in General Nursing

    "Are you feeling like you aren't getting your money's worth?" I think the comment about being inconsiderate might have been

  14. 37.50/hr ( but position is salary).....

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    If $37.50 is a reasonable hourly wage in your area (based on a salaried day so max income will be $300/day) then it will only be fair if you average 5 revisit units/day. Anything above that and...

  15. Being Bullied

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

    I haven't looked at the links but wondering if having so many threads on the subject is an indication of the prevalence of bullying in nursing or inaccurate

  16. Being an individual

    Libby1987 replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    Patients can notice and appreciate the little things. It can cheer up a drab sea of blue scrubs in a small way that will be appreciated by maybe only a few but why not. But I would make sure my...

  17. Nursing Pay Question?

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    Where I live, our new nurses start out higher, but it really depends on where you live. Also,mid you speak with the other nurses before you were hired? Or do a ridealong? So much also depends on what...

  20. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    The question itself is not so much serious but I did want to discuss the relatively of our job stress. We often talk about the higher responsibility that we have as nurses. On one hand, yeah. On the...

  21. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  23. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  24. Is Nursing the hardest job out there?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think we're talking in circles because that seems to agree with my statement that the existence of unsafe nursing positions (understaffing) is related to over supply of nurses - competition. The...
