  1. Kaiser permanente

    Libby1987 replied to jdb6053's topic in General Nursing

    They have a reputation for being at the top of the pay scale. I am interested in them as a future employer, was it difficult to get an interview or

  2. New RN, but not interested in hospital bedside nursing

    Libby1987 replied to scubanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    We have hired new RN's to home health with meeting state requirements for supervision. From what I've read on this forum, our head to toe assessments are more comprehensive than what med surg nurses...

  3. What do you think about managers and employees being friends on Facebook?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Only one co worker and we're friends outside of work, travel together and such. But anyone could look at my FB page, nothing is on there that I wouldn't wear as a banner. I've belonged to private...

  4. Do you ever feel like you aren't *really* a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to live2bRN's topic in Home Health

    I am not following you. Are you referring to intermittent visits where you're teaching people how to perform IV infusions, performing complicated wound care and assessing complex medical patients? If...

  5. Pay per visit

    Libby1987 replied to DennisGray's topic in Home Health

    California has a higher COL in most places, but that does seem low. Your wages would be less than half of mine. You can probably count on being able to work up to 6 visits/day, so $21.67/hr if you...

  6. Considering home care after 14 yrs in office

    Libby1987 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in Home Health

    I wouldn't recommend trying to start in intermittent visits if you're looking for a lighter schedule while in school. It's A LOT to learn and you either make little money if you only see a couple of...

  7. Time spent in one home

    Libby1987 replied to lashuna1028's topic in Home Health

    Your example would not be a skilled visit where I work. And if you're searching for something to teach then I'd say the POC went longer than needed or you might be missing assessment needs. I spend...

  8. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Libby1987 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think having energy and wanting to get out of your jammie's on cold mornings determines if one loves their work. I could use a lot more sleep and I drag in the mornings, BUT I don't want to do...

  9. Pain Seekers

    Libby1987 replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If everyday you have one out of 5? 6? patients, can you follow the prescribed med regimen for the one and do what you went into nursing for with the others? Drug seekers have pain, it may not meet...

  10. attn working mamas.

    Libby1987 replied to heather.m's topic in General Nursing

    I really think SAHM and working moms need to stop the debate, be glad you're able to have choices and make them yourself. Oh what am I

  11. PATIENTS BECOMING MORE ABUSIVE?? anyone agree?

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

    I haven't experienced a change, yet. I'm sure much of that has to do with the majority of my patients being on

  12. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Libby1987 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I relate a lot to this post. Except for truly horrid times, I equate it to something like baseball. Does a baseball player hate baseball on the days of injuries, bad calls and shut outs? I can love...

  13. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Libby1987 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not true. I know several people who love their jobs, us rare few maybe, who were fortunate to find and work in their niche. I don't love paperwork (I actually like it in moderate doses)...

  14. Should I let my manager beat me at Trivia Crack

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My 16 yr old son has been beating one of his teachers, I hadn't thought it at the time but now I wonder if she's letting him beat her. It really depends on your work relationship, my manager respects...

  15. How many of you actually enjoy your job?!

    Libby1987 replied to kwerno00's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job everyday, I don't love the documentation demands but I do it without hating it because, frankly it is work not my

  16. What's your dress code at work?

    Libby1987 replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    We can wear scrubs or street clothes as long as closed toe and at minimum cap sleeves with no dangling earrings. And no cleavage or ripped jeans. My typical "uniform" is jeans, henley and slip on...

  17. Write ups and feeling bulling by staff

    Libby1987 replied to Elan84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    More lazy

  18. Ethical question-WWYD?

    Libby1987 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    i actually don't believe many nurses would weigh out the legal risks in a real life threatening anaphylaxis situation. OP didn't seem to reach that point though. I only have the basic training so it...

  19. Ethical question-WWYD?

    Libby1987 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I was going..if you're remote from EMS (I read the OP as a severe allergic reaction in a non hospital situation) and you either do something or watch someone die, would you do anything whether trained...

  20. Dating someone from within ???

    Libby1987 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't until I read the last post that I remembered that I have a dated a coworker. Both in our 20's, I was a new nurse and he was a new PT. He was so cute and there was an older nurse who played...

  21. Ethical question-WWYD?

    Libby1987 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    This person never lost their airway, but had that been imminent and EMS was still minutes away then I would give the epi. For those that wouldn't give it because it belonged to a bystander, would you...

  22. Help-Freaking out- seeing patients on my own!!

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    Our nurses usually work a year or more before taking call, unless they're experienced home health nurses and they still wait a

  23. What if you can't get thru to a drs office??

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    2 ways. Send a a fax written clearly asking what you want ie Patient discharged home on 2/2/15 following hospitalization for pacemaker insertion. Last known INR was 1.8 on 1/30/15, current...

  24. Wishing we all felt understood

    Libby1987 replied to brad4834's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if they could understand, you wouldn't be the incredibly rare lioness that you are. You have one tough job. Tough doesn't really cover it

  25. Students asking for free money

    Libby1987 replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Poster above was clear about not including
