  1. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    Libby1987 replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I don't think it's anymore a lifestyle issue for the super morbid obese than just the obese, or even the overweight. Whether 100bls overweight or 300 lbs, the same issues got them there, it just went...

  3. Wow. Just wow

    Libby1987 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    So my home health example doesn't make sense to non home health nurses, it was a somewhat common scenario that happens in home care, just home from the hospital following the orders to a Tee and...

  4. Wow. Just wow

    Libby1987 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    9/10 pain on a new knee just home is common, instructing teachable caregivers re s/s of complications is a common and expected occurrence in home health. Nothing in that scenario is unusual. Percocet...

  5. Wow. Just wow

    Libby1987 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Are you familiar with the range of pain mgmt for knees? (That's not meant to sound snarky, I'm trying to understand your rationale) You would send a healthy knee patient to the ER? By car 3 days post...

  6. Accepted RN position as rotating shifts but after I accepted they changed shifts

    Libby1987 replied to jenny966's topic in General Nursing

    I hope it works out for you but for someone who raised 3 kids, about 1/2 of it as a single parent, with a family friendly flexible schedule and making a good in home health, I don't really understand...

  7. Wow. Just wow

    Libby1987 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    The HH ad might have potentially been written by us and not refer to a seedy or unsafe area. We have a remote area that had been covered by a nurse who lived there for years and hasn't been able to...

  12. Any SAHMs?

    Libby1987 replied to LilBitty's topic in General Nursing

  13. The FIT Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you've changed your name, you're not even on the thread referenced. On looking back, the PopTart didn't come as the suggestion (though the suggestion was equally in the junk food category) but...

  14. The FIT Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    For anyone who might be leaning toward this ****** attitude towards the people who are vulnerable to you, I beg you to read Gary Taubes "Why We Get Fat" and watch Dr Attia's TedTalk

  15. The FIT Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are going to infuriate a lot of defensive nurses. IME nurses as a group do not prioritize fitness and many not even diet. There was a thread a short while back asking for breakfast and...

    Libby1987 replied to confus's topic in General Nursing

  19. How did you know nursing was for you? Is it for me?

    Libby1987 replied to kaytheauthor's topic in General Nursing

    For me, I didn't know until I actually had some nurse experience, all I did have was potential aptitude. I liked managing all aspects of my horses incl their medical care, I could get dirty, give...

  20. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    Libby1987 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    The sucky consequence is that we have blanket rules set because as a group nurses we don't seem to show any more adherence to guielines than any other group. Look at dress code, someone always has to...

    Libby1987 replied to JudyFawce's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't figure why the blocking hadn't already occurred. But if he were standing outside the BR, I'd be reporting up the chain of command. However it sounds like he does these things in little...

  25. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    Libby1987 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Being an enforceable policy hasn't really been my motivation. It's either a legit policy based on some reasoning, not significant enough to be the hill I die on or risk my security, or it's something...
