  1. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Re Klone's situation, why aren't your chronically late providers held accountable? There must be pressure on them to reduce OT for the staff? Are you their manager as well or do they answer to a...

  2. pay per visit/hourly/salaried

    Libby1987 replied to RNRN_DAY's topic in Home Health

    I'm getting this thread confused with the other one on charting. With experience comes many time savers, if I were you, I would do some self study to increase my knowledge of all things home health...

  3. Time spent on charting

    Libby1987 replied to traylee's topic in Home Health

    Also, your first couple of years can be rough. With experience comes many time

  4. Time spent on charting

    Libby1987 replied to traylee's topic in Home Health

    Agree with Caliotter. Much depends on your patient population. Lately I've had a lot of protimes within a few minutes of each other, when that happens I'm the one who comes out ahead. At the end of...

  5. pay per visit/hourly/salaried

    Libby1987 replied to RNRN_DAY's topic in Home Health

    I've always been paid by the visit. I'm a high producer with occasional half days when it's slow and I wouldn't have it any other way. IOW, hourly or salary would result in less pay for

  6. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were asking for thoughts, your OP already made your stance

  7. Black and Job Hunting

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Given that white privilege most definitely exists, as does being thin and white, I say set your quotas then make it merit based from there. Does it ever occur to you that the black kid who had...

  8. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't clear. I meant to compare someome early to someone on time, no brownie points for just being early without the performance to back it up. Just being early in of itself holds no merit to me...

  9. Paper Charting

    Libby1987 replied to bsndeedee's topic in General Nursing

    I do intermittemt visits but our flow sheet type assessment eliminated redundant narrative and when I had a large area not utilized, narrative or column, I would write through it with:...

  10. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not late to things I can't be late for. I would take the chance and crap my pants before I missed a Vanco trough. I won't crap my pants for a protime. i don't care if someone is early to work...

  11. Black and Job Hunting

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can't believe how anyone can deny the existence of white

  12. What Would You Do?

    Libby1987 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't tolerate that, I suppose I might demand to read all 485's/OASIS before they were locked. But just grasping at straws here, would you say without doubt that she was able to safely feed...

  13. About U.S. vacation time..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    IME I had a one week grace period before SDI kicks in. Which is why I why I maintain at least a week at all times. And my 2/3rds pay was tax free so it came out to a little more than that, but...

  14. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That's an interesting article. I can relate to the adrenaline rush to get moving on something. I never did my assignments early and tended to get them done at the 11th hour. My daughter is the same...

  16. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Shilla is my sister (brother?) from another mother :-) Punctuality certainly has its place and is essential in some situations but it's not in everything. If I could be 100% punctual and be everything...

  17. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, home health. Re the providers, if I don't take their call inevitably tying me up for 5-10 min in follow up, then I have to interrupt them again. So I tell a patient I will be there between 2 and...

  18. About U.S. vacation time..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Scheduled benefitted vacation time is entirely different than frequent or fabricated sick calls. I am very anti mental health day or passive aggressive call outs. Using your accrued PTO may avoid...

    Libby1987 replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well now that you've pointed that out, yes :-) Make it a rhetorical

  20. Regarding chronic tardiness

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I am chronically late and it sure doesn't come from a place of not giving a crap. At the end of the day (literally) I have highly satisfied clients and managers. And my providers appreciate not...

  21. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    Libby1987 replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why should someome have 3 attempts before being required to take remediation? Why isn't 2 enough? The first time we can get a pass for untimely illness, realizing what kind of study and prep is needed...

  24. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Libby1987 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Annndd when I lose my sharpness to provide competent hands on care with any sort of speed, I would love to teach new hires and those needing ongoing training the stuff that I can do with my eyes...

  25. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Libby1987 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I'm *just* 50 and I'm fortunate not to be in the early stages worn out yet, I didn't work on the floor and along with genetics, I hit the gym and make an effort to stay strong and fit. I'm not...
