  1. alright Nurses...what is your dream job?!

    Libby1987 replied to permRNjobs's topic in General Nursing

    Location Job responsibilities If I get those two then I want 1) pay, 2)opportunities and encouragement for my growth (not necessarily up, could be just in being able to branch out in better and...

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

    Libby1987 replied to mpathg747's topic in Home Health

    Oh my goodness that sounds like blatant fraud. This is the agency that also doesn't supply a laptop for EHR charting? There are usually plentiful HH openings, is there a hospital based HH near you?...

  3. New grad, Bored.

    Libby1987 replied to Tedstar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, plasma clinic hadn't occurred to me. I was thinking some type of medical or public health

  4. Am I insane?

    Libby1987 replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Ah I see. We don't call that service home health in California. Home Health is skilled intermittent care and Home Care is shifts. May sound like semantics but Medicare refers to the benefit of...

  5. New grad, Bored.

    Libby1987 replied to Tedstar's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe that you could get away with performing a side activity while on the clock in a clinic. Or that any nursing job truly has boring downtime 80% of the time when brand new. It can become...

  6. Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Libby1987 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Going beyond gratitude, it's nice to know advice or shared information and experience is being considered to some

  7. New to HH visits, organization help

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse_67's topic in Home Health

    Everything said above plus.. Have teaching plans on hand, whether that's handouts or just general guidelines to follow. There are common conditions that we see that would be helpful for you to be very...

  8. Pt DC instructions: How to deliver?

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Less words makes sense. Instructing them in shorter sentences would be a better delivery at Hosp discharge. In the HH setting we also have the luxury of being able to sit down at eye level and have...

  9. Can you imagine yourself doing something else

    Libby1987 replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Nursing

    Like Ruby Vee, of course I could see myself doing something else. But I love what I do and primarily because I believe in it. We get the immediate gratification of impacting others, we know we are...

  10. Pt DC instructions: How to deliver?

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Some things that patients p/caregivers come home not remembering.. to understand the importance to read their dc instructions. Have seen many who "didn't have time yet" to read them and missed...

  11. Pt DC instructions: How to deliver?

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We're pushing the teach back method with our staff as well as promoting use of demonstration versus only verbal and written instructions, which as you've observed are not easily

  12. Healthy People 2020 - Key Determinants

    Libby1987 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Medicare doesn't pay for shower chairs. And it's getting incredibly hard to get Medicare to pay for essential DME. Our local DME, with a very long reputable history, gave up billing and will now only...

  13. Healthy People 2020 - Key Determinants

    Libby1987 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    On one hand glad to see this direction, on the other there's not much new here (I cherry picked sections to read so perhaps there are new ideas presented that I missed). Fall reduction with OT home...

  14. I think I don't want to be a Nurse anymore.

    Libby1987 replied to guest723's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand why it's common sense for a struggling individual to space out their pre req science classes. My question was to the dean advising in general to not take two science classes at...

  15. I think I don't want to be a Nurse anymore.

    Libby1987 replied to guest723's topic in General Nursing

    Is that a new thing, to not take 2 science classes? I got my BSN in 4.5 hrs total including pre reqs, I thought that was the norm, if you were a traditional student and could get the

  16. Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    Libby1987 replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students

    I'm a people person and I choose my work over any other passion of mine, I am one of those that loves my work in the way a musician loves their work. But even then I don't think caring about people...

  17. New RN having the worst time

    Libby1987 replied to Nursetaylor3's topic in General Nursing

    How many exceptions sitting about playing candy crush are you saying there are at hospital

  18. Quitting my 1st RN job

    Libby1987 replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in General Nursing

    Was there really a question here? The responses not validating your predetermination have been rejected. I have a question though, in what world is anyone competent in any area of nursing with only 1...

  19. New RN having the worst time

    Libby1987 replied to Nursetaylor3's topic in General Nursing

    Older nurses sitting around playing candy crush and criticizing green nurses no matter how they try to obtain information? I have to call exxageration. I have orecepted many nurses, both green and...

  20. No call no show, and feeling terrible about it!

    Libby1987 replied to omha's topic in General Nursing

    The no show aside, you didn't describe why you don't you enjoy* nursing. Are you having a knee jerk reaction to your embarrassment or are they're specific things that substantially put you off? *It's...

  21. I think I will give negative feedback

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

    Talking about politics at work let alone in earshot of a patient is completely inappropriate but I don't think I would have reported this. I do think that the direct comment made to them and...

  22. New RN having the worst time

    Libby1987 replied to Nursetaylor3's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking just to the general knowledge that you need to care your patients, there is a plethora of educational resources out there. In 15 minutes you can probably read everything you need to know to...

  23. How much "crap" do you take from people at work?

    Libby1987 replied to addieoliveira's topic in General Nursing

    I don't receive any crap at work, not as a staff nurse nor as a manager. Our upper management have expectations but they don't treat us disrespectfully, ever. We do have to submit to federal and...

  24. Am I insane?

    Libby1987 replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

  25. Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    Libby1987 replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students

    Nursing is more combat with rations than it is butterflies and rainbows. By a lot. The *calling* doesn't really exist anymore. The working conditions are not anything that most would be called to do....
