  9. Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    Libby1987 replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

    Another thought, when you write the appeal, don't let a blaming tone come through. We know it was bad lack of policy to not have the meds labeled but you don't want to point out how anyone in the...

  12. You Don't Have to Be a Stereotype

    Libby1987 replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the OP. Also, I used to work on a gyn post op unit, same floor as OB, we used to have hospital provided peppermint oil on the unit to use in the

  13. Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    Libby1987 replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

    Libby1987 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    What I tell my spouses and families who have been trying to provide 24 hr care to their loved one with progressive disease/symptoms is that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can have the LTC...

  16. What should I say about getting fired for family complaints?

    Libby1987 replied to sissonrn's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to say you were fired? If it's something you have to explain, I think the nature of the complaint is relevant. If it's a communication/personality type complaint I think you could focus on...

  17. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    Libby1987 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Because she felt like many others that her ADN education (school, not continuing or on the job) was sufficient for the position. I believe she already had a bachelors in another field. Maybe it was...

  19. Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    Libby1987 replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

  20. Has anyone ever escaped?

    Libby1987 replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

    This is my last word on this as it's clearly not wanted, I'm a literal person and honestly the use of the word oppression is an extreme exaggeration and says either drama llama or skewed sense of...

    Libby1987 replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I would quit over being required to wear a dress, But I didn't back in the day when I

  22. Has anyone ever escaped?

    Libby1987 replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

    I was responding to "the oppressed occupation of nursing", that sounded like a broad brush stroke to me. I work somewhere between being oppressed and Mary Poppinism so IME it does

  25. Boss taking advantage of me

    Libby1987 replied to Sonia1210's topic in Home Health

    I must live in a bubble, we would never make daily visits let alone TID to run an IV. All of ours are have PICCs and are taught to do their own infusions. And no way would we give a new grad that...
