  1. Is he shirking a crap job or am I just in a bad mood?

    Libby1987 replied to redheadrn86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The poop mess wouldn't be an issue for me, it would be the non urgent time consuming aspect that would pull me away too long from my own

  2. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    Libby1987 replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Commuter, I'm so sorry for your

  3. Question r/t Doctors

    Libby1987 replied to flordiaj3's topic in General Nursing

    You don't think calling a patient to check on them would have anything to do with their safety? Did you tell him that you blew it and forgot or that you forgot due to the clinic being busy? Perhaps...

  4. Have You Ever Had to Take Care of Someone You Knew?

    Libby1987 replied to NewGradRN114's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Many of them in my small town, most elective post ops, some tragic terminal illnesses. I most recently admitted my own healthcare provider, thankfully a full recovery. It hasn't been awkward for me...

  5. Medscape career satisfaction survey

    Libby1987 replied to Jules A's topic in Advanced Practice

    Reminds me of miserable spouses who just stay and become more embittered with time. Wanting to get married or go to nursing school, did they pay attention to what they were getting into? Did they jump...

  6. OASIS quandry

    Libby1987 replied to bbritton_64's topic in Home Health

    Yes, and in my experience it is a universal issue for nurses. We have some who continue to struggle no matter how many inservices with different angles, but most of them are getting it. They should...

  7. OASIS quandry

    Libby1987 replied to bbritton_64's topic in Home Health

    "Taking into consideration their strength, balance, endurance, vision/hearing and cognition, what amount and type of assistance and/or equipment is needed to remove their fall risk?" and/or "What...

  8. Preceptor From Hell-Need Advice

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

    How is that anonymous pry going to work? Does this nurse in question have that many preceptees that she won't know it came from you? And you trust this educator enough to be anonymous with your...

  9. The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    Libby1987 replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    Why did you leave your bedside position and why were you happy to take this manager

  10. Brand New to Home Health

    Libby1987 replied to VegGal's topic in Home Health

    Home Health has been the most amazing fulfilling career for me, but with the degree of difficulty rising over the years I know that the wrong agency can suck the soul out of you. If HH is a goal of...

  11. Brand New to Home Health

    Libby1987 replied to VegGal's topic in Home Health

    An independent contractor with no HH experience? Those are starting rates for a benefitted employee and a good quality admission including a thorough assessment, med reconciliation, teaching, and any...

  12. Nurses' salaries from a Russian's perspective

    Libby1987 replied to Pasolopi's topic in General Nursing

    I can only speak for California but an experienced RN well into their career can live very comfortably on a single salary if they live away from the coast, Bay Area and certain affluent communities....

  13. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

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

    Re preceptorships, this is perfect. I don't know about whether leaving out the experience on a resume, is it work experience or a false start? So hard to say from my perspective now, but I think...

  14. Flu Shot or Mask?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Requiring a mask is a civil rights' violation? A personal freedom violation? People want to decline the flu vac as part of their personal freedoms, of course. But a mask? That's like dress code, I...

  15. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion the reason and difference is that NP was meant to be an alternative to MD as a provider but who is bringing relevant experience to compensate (for lack of a better term) the difference...

  16. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to picture this. You're graduating in August with your MSN/NP? And you want to still get a couple of years working as an RN in acute care? I'm not sure how beneficial that is. No matter...

  17. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with your plan is that a short term part time experience in a SNF as your first nursing position will only get you to maybe mastering how to get through your day with a huge assignment,...

  18. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you don't need to worry about the RNs, you need to worry about your informed articulate patients/families who will file grievances against your lack of

  19. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a serious question as to who I would be most confident in as my provider? A new NP without solid RN experience (and by solid I mean someone who has assessed and participated in the treatment...

  20. New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    Libby1987 replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    These threads hurt my head. I am becoming more reluctant to accept a NP as my own provider once my own sage NP retires soon. The whole prospect behind a NP as a provider was that sharp seasoned RNs...

  21. HH for 6+ months... still not checked off on skills

    Libby1987 replied to peachnurse22's topic in Home Health

    Agree about being contingent on having irregular opportunities depending on patient census. Will add that every agency must be heavily focused on disease management and avoiding hospitalization, with...

  22. How to be more mild mannered like doctors in stressful circumstances?

    Libby1987 replied to Plumrose15153's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love the above 2

  23. Favorite RN Position

    Libby1987 replied to KT_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Home health admissions, filling in all of the gaps at discharge and/or with a new/exacerbated condition, teaching and getting anxious patient and caregiver all settled in reassured that they're in...

  24. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

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

    A male layperson maybe, but not a male nurse who should have passed both A&P and his OB/GYN rotation. "I'm having trouble visualizing the urethra, do you have any tips?" Or even, "omg I can't...

  25. Medicare Compliance with 485 and Orders
