  1. A day that will live in infamy

    Libby1987 replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    I sent a WWII sailor to the hospital yesterday, hopefully in time for early intervention, and missed getting to visit him today. They are are a special lot for sure. It's been an honor to help them...

  2. Perspective: Actually cried during an interview?!

    Libby1987 replied to krad13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It could indicate a sensitivity that could be crushed during your first introduction to today's challenging work environment. OTOH if you also showed real grit then I think you demonstrated...

    Libby1987 replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get what your saying about the initial delivery but I still think her intended audience was one who might be pulled in with her style versus those who already agree with her. I don't think she meant...

  5. Overweight RN talked about

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

    I'm trying imagine a group of women mocking and taking shots at another human being, nurses at that, and it just doesn't reconcile. I've never worked with anyone like that. I can't even say that I've...

  6. Work from home insight?

    Libby1987 replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    I worked from home for a bit when I had a 2 yr old. Nothing makes a young child demand full attention more than a parent trying to concentrate on something else. To meet productivity expectations,...

  7. Need a BSN for what again?

    Libby1987 replied to ModernRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A BSN does not and was never intended to correlate with the scope of a physician. Your premise is non sensical. This type of illogic is what generates the monkey comments and is detrimental to our...

  8. Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    Libby1987 replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The immature part of me wishes you would have said, "......magnesium for an abnormal heart rhythm, not for just any ol' stupid reason. Can I get you fresh

  9. Need a BSN for what again?

    Libby1987 replied to ModernRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your post supports the need for additional education on the scope of today's nursing except I know ADNs have a better understanding than you are

  11. Apn-home visits-primary care

    Libby1987 replied to NJ-APN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It takes me (experienced home health nurse) 1 1/2 - 2 hours to complete a comprehensive thorough admission visit which covers pretty much everything on your list your list. You will have less control...

  13. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I had an ortho patient (on narcotics and warfarin) who received a glass of wine every evening post op while in the hospital. Lived to tell about. A healthcare worker by the way, who knew what to ask...

  15. Told to falsify date on OASIS. Is this legal?

    Libby1987 replied to mpathg747's topic in Home Health

    We never have or ask anyone to date incorrectly. Sometimes staff don't know which date applies, for instance the date is when the event occurred, say a transfer, not when the notice was received or...

  17. Discouragement

    Libby1987 replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might still be circulating estrogen. I would have lit him up, and not because I'm smart. I'd be jobless no doubt. I'm sorry though, that really sucks that he can apparently get away with...

  18. Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Libby1987 replied to EmpoweRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's wrong with the video? (Other than it may not resonate with everyone). Isn't it saying that we shouldn't judge or discriminate? And seemed directed at the presenter's peer group who might be...

  19. Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    Libby1987 replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey wait, now there's something to market to nurses LOL. "Adapt to no time to pee with these espresso beans formulated especially for nurses to get them thru 12 hrs with not one pit

    Libby1987 replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    Libby1987 replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    The marketing to nurses would be off putting to me. The premise is non sensical. And there's nothing creative about it, amazing coffee is already available and there is just no connection for me. Non...

  22. Told to falsify date on OASIS. Is this legal?

    Libby1987 replied to mpathg747's topic in Home Health

    It's so frustrating because we know that many of the time consuming regulations and documentation requirements arose out of abuse and

  23. Preceptor gift

    I love written gratitude and praise, definitely lifts my spirits. A card can go a long way in showing appreciation if you personalize it. Include some funny, inspiring and teachable experiences. I...

  24. Family members bring us junk food!

    Libby1987 replied to guycna95's topic in General Nursing

    As far as funny anecdotes, Hospice likes to bring us sweets, the irony is not lost on me. Sometimes I'm that person who brings in something healthy, like a bowl full of apples or cuties but people...

  25. Returned documentation

    Libby1987 replied to BabaLouRN's topic in Home Health

    Everyone feels that. Including the staff that have to review it, send it back, review it again. Often the same errors and omissions that are seen recurrently. That part of the job isn't fun for...
