  1. "hard science" requirements for RN's

    Libby1987 replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I had to take the 5 listed in the OP. What about math? We had to take Alg II in order to take stats. I can't imagine trying to pass Alg II after being out of school for anytime, going straight from...

  2. Increase in Autism Diagnosis

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is an ignorant observation but the kids I've seen who were diagnosed autistic seem to have an entirely different type of cognitive presentation (is that the right word?) then the adults I've...

  3. Quit Nursing?

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

    New nurses should not be the call nurse who has to be able to work independently, usually a year on the job during the day where you 1) have orientation 2) have seniors nurses for supervison and...

  4. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Libby1987 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your husband. Single moms do not make for a good brick wall

  5. Not sure how I should respond

    Libby1987 replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Another angle to think about, what if they offer a resolution? Then what do you do, refuse their offer to improve things? My response would be based on the response I'd want in return. If I didn't...

  6. Nursing Culture

    Libby1987 replied to arborguy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm on my phone and can't quote but this is in response to Grn Tea.. The stories on the "Only AA on Staff" thread is the most recent where I've read of deplorable

  7. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Libby1987 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I'm almost 3 decades in and I have to say that I have yet to be treated like skilled labor. I can't say that I could do acute care because I haven't done it in so long that I'm no longer qualified but...

  8. Will my scars from cutting be a problem?

    Libby1987 replied to S.F Skylar's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you are in terms of being a nurse. I might wear a lab coat or something until my performance overshadowed anything like old childhood

  9. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Libby1987 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It's a conundrum isn't it? All these new grads essentially wanting and needing positions opened up for them. Is there any data re new grad hires and if they're replacing a retired nurse, filling a...

  10. Nursing Culture

    Libby1987 replied to arborguy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is this discussion over? Instead of starting a new one, I just want to make a comment.. It seems we are on both sides of the fence. Reading the different type of complaints posted on this board, are...

  11. Needle stick after a Subcutaneous Injection of Epotien to a Hepa C+ patient

    Libby1987 replied to Zenrn91's topic in General Nursing

    I work in home health and many of our patients and/or their caregivers give injections, I can see someone trying to recap a needle if someone failed to instruct them regarding proper disposal but I...

  14. Return to fitness

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

    I have some food intolerances (for reals) and am very carb sensitive, like Jekyll and Hyde. I do best on low carb and hit all of my goals last year but our transition onto EMR is using most of my time...

  15. Taking a sick day after giving notice

    Libby1987 replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you can tack on whatever days you miss onto the end of your notice? Or at least

  16. Ideal diabetic diet?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Bernstein recommends 30g of carbs? I would have thought 50ish would work. I'd really like to see the outcome of such low carb diets on IR and type 2. I've heard lots of anecdotal results but would...

  17. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Libby1987 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I used to think the arguments re the difference between ADN and BSN were founded only on the research/leadership classes. I really had no idea that the programs didn't have the same science...

  18. Ugh. Rejected from dream job

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

    I wouldn't encourage anyone to apply to anything that they hated. That's just not right, I wouldn't want anyone taking care of my loved one if they dreaded coming to work. And as a coworker, just no....

  19. Am I the only one in here??

    Libby1987 replied to PadmeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just turned 50, and I very much do not want to give up my nice life style. Having fun is just as important and enjoyable at 50 than 30. I'm pretty sure I will feel the same at 70. Life interrupted...

  20. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Libby1987 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I always thought the pre req's were the same? I have known a few nurses who I wondered how they ever got through inorganic

  22. New Grad, Do not like my job, interview tomorrow

    Libby1987 replied to Angie5888's topic in General Nursing

    "My heart is in med-surg.." I don't think I would say that if I hadn't had any work experience but I would say I was comfortable in med surg, liked working with the adult population and wanted to...

  23. Return to fitness

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

    I'm not a winter person (though some would argue we're having winter weather) and have little motivation and energy to go to the gym after work. I love to walk in our hilly neighborhood but too dark...

  25. Only African American Nurse on Staff

    Libby1987 replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I spaced the important detail that you are the charge nurse, I take back my advice! i would have to see where my supervisor stood and if I'd have backing before I did anything
