  1. What makes one a "great nurse"?

    Libby1987 replied to LadyAn's topic in General Nursing

    "Great" are very large shoes to fill. To be great one must be thorough, accurate, timely, kind, fierce, tolerant, persevering, flexible.. To start off however, begin with well rested, punctual,...

  2. Quitting job during orientation?

    Libby1987 replied to angieRN528's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask yourself, if I quit now how competitive am I for L&D, or any other highly sought after position? What's going to make a unit choose me over the high number of applicants with relevant...

  3. I'm young and nervous about going into the nursing profession

    Libby1987 replied to Dlansey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just going to straight up say that you need to work out your tolerance and work ethic before even remotely considering nursing. That said you sound like you have some emotional maturity despite...

  5. Do you ever want to escape nursing profession?

    Libby1987 replied to thida's topic in General Nursing

    The skeptic in me questions how dangerous the driving really was if so many other staff members made it in that you were called off. At least in the context of your area's usual weather and what the...

  6. prescription drug addiction

    Libby1987 replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize things like a sprain in a young adult would receive a narcotic rx. (Counting my blessing my kids didn't become addicted to Norco when they all 3 have had some type of surgical...

  7. prescription drug addiction

    Libby1987 replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

  11. Nurse tells summer volunteer to not refer to the unit as "We"!!

    Libby1987 replied to djasc112's topic in General Nursing

    I would have said something, I wouldn't have been able to stop myself, though can't say for sure what it would have been it would likely be along the lines of shocked disbelief, "why would you say...

  12. Gun Owning Nurses

    Libby1987 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a rural part of the Sierra Foothills and though I don't know the actual stats, I'd guess our legal ownership as well as fanciers are pretty high here in the rural areas. They are very...

    Libby1987 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

  14. Home health Policy

    Libby1987 replied to OKNurse101's topic in Home Health

    The thing is, this is more than an issue with two RN managers. You're so far behind, with 100 outstanding OASIS, that you must have an entire system wide problem for that to not have set off alarms...

  15. Home health Policy

    Libby1987 replied to OKNurse101's topic in Home Health

    I have to ask, with 100 unfinished oasis', were you or your managers running the wheels off of your nurses? Are they experienced in HH assessments and logistically capable of managing their...

  16. Home health Policy

    Libby1987 replied to OKNurse101's topic in Home Health

  18. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Libby1987 replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here in California I've only known a few but I don't work inpatient so I have limited exposure. Too bad the pull for basic self care, i.e. bathroom breaks, drinking and eating, wasn't as

    Libby1987 replied to OKNurse101's topic in Home Health

  21. Is nursing a reliable career to have?

    Libby1987 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

  25. Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    Less of a nurse? Is that like less of a person? True you may not have the same exposure as another facility might give you but only an idiot would say you are less of a nurse. I'd hate to think you...
