  1. Help me figure out how to be happy!

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try to imagine that you actually lost this job irreparably and every job after that left you no more content than for a short period but with not such great coworkers and admin. Or maybe hobby...

  2. Write ups and feeling bulling by staff

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

    Crap, I've put urine and blood in the same bag, I guess the lab staff have been too polite to say anything. I don't know ER protocols and nurses hands down can be the toughest as far as critiquing...

  3. I shouldn't be a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to scarednurse's topic in General Nursing

    So you made a poor choice out of avoidance? That's a pretty easy thing to fix. You can unlearn how to avoid, you can learn how to be more systematic, and you can let your fear of screwing up someone's...

  4. Chest hair

    Libby1987 replied to Ninjateagan's topic in Men in Nursing

    Only if manscaped. Oh wait this wasn't about my personal preference. Unless they start making us wear hairnets, it's non sensical to make any rules about chest hair that peeks out of code approved...

  5. Looking for a good way to track my Pt.s

    Libby1987 replied to jenlambert1's topic in Home Health

    I grew up on a giant desk calendar and I still keep one in the office while we transition to EMR in case I fall off the face of the earth. I also keep a master binder with 60 day sheets that has all...

  6. Articles like this are so infuriating!

    Libby1987 replied to mclennan's topic in Case Management

    Oh I definitely think it would help, but the list would be endless, some of these people who cause delays aren't complex or you don't realize it until they lay a big one on the dr. I know a CM could...

  7. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have 5 yrs of university education to our clerical and CNA staff of zero yrs and I am not disrespectful to them. It's a security issue. Secure individuals are neither disrespectful nor do they...

  8. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Any particular generation or gender, or across the

  9. Need advice on nursing/pt relationship post discharge

    Libby1987 replied to NurseJackie87's topic in General Nursing

    We tend to get a little too anxious to get out there and make our hearts and egos feel better. Take time to make really good decisions, post divorce life/do overs can be good if you don't repeat or...

  10. Need advice on nursing/pt relationship post discharge

    Libby1987 replied to NurseJackie87's topic in General Nursing

    Not pertaining to the ethics but flirting while unstable enough to be a mental health inpatient? Even if it was for depression or anxiety how would you know that it was coming from a healthy stable...

  11. Articles like this are so infuriating!

    Libby1987 replied to mclennan's topic in Case Management

    How would a CM ensure everyone arrives punctually and doesn't save questions/symptoms until the end of their 10 minutes? It seems that you would have to manage every patient in the practice rather...

  12. Cost of happiness? Changing jobs?

    Libby1987 replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in General Nursing

    If it made the difference between my kids having a good college fund and not be saddled with the debt we hear about all the time, and getting that very decent retirement, I could deal with a lot of...

  13. Thinking about quitting

    Libby1987 replied to snider1970's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think anyone who goes into an ADN program now is really taking a risk, even a BSN is a risk at this point, but for those who started the process several years ago it wasn't as widely known that we'd...

  14. Vibrating vest and other tx for COPD?

    Libby1987 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen the vest in the home setting a couple of times, prescribed by the same doctor. The flutter devices are fairly

  15. Male Nurse Interactions

    Libby1987 replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think you really took my comments out of context. I was addressing your comment about how they end up a with a lesbian, how the ironic joke is on them, and how that has nothing to do with why some...

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

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    Oncall allready??? Unbelievable. I would not want one of my loved ones admitted to this

  17. Male Nurse Interactions

    Libby1987 replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think sexual orientation or sexual attraction has anything to do with it. I would have never undressed in front my brother or father and I trusted them implicitly. The reason I rather not have...

  18. Students asking for free money

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

    I would trade sex for someone to come clean my house right now.. Inappropriately joking. I don't consider agreed upon relationships between 2 or more consenting adults where no genuine exploitation...

  19. Dealing with difficult families:)

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    I bet she meant 11:05. I've had to really work on not giving too tight of window than I can stick

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

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    It doesn't sound like they invested much time. Our new nurses don't start out doing SOC's. They do routine visits for while and observe at least an open before going on their own to do one SOC, then...

  21. Students asking for free money

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

    Why are you, for lack of a better word, harping on this? Is this a morality issue for

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

    Libby1987 replied to Mommytracknurse's topic in Home Health

    The elastomeric device is the easy part of the home health job amd you can learn IV mgmt in the home after successfully performing routine visits. But why don't you know the plan? Your mgr hasn't...

  23. not homebound d/c

    Libby1987 replied to 210tonyman's topic in Home Health

    Notice is necessary unless the patient requests the discharge, otherwise you still have to give them notice that they are being discharged and allow them to appeal and/or pay OOP. There are different...

  24. attn working mamas.

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

    I got to stay home with my last and I wouldn't relish leaving an infant, but as soon as baby turns toddler/pre schooler they can thrive in a good preschool type daycare. And while I get the theory of...

  25. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think men in general perceive stress and pressure differently. Have you ever seen how a stay at home dad operates, or a dad that takes the kids for the day/weekend? (I'm not talking about...
