  1. charting!!!! I am about to leave home health...

    Libby1987 replied to principessaGG's topic in Home Health

    To clarify, we consider point of service anywhere before the next visit. I had a couple of coffee shops that I'd go to to finish admission charting. Or I would do everything but the admission charting...

  2. Am I insane?

    Libby1987 replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I've posted to this issue before but our part time clinical staff like to take call because it's "easy" money. $50/day and then paid to make visits of which are rare. And the admin on call doesn't...

  3. charting!!!! I am about to leave home health...

    Libby1987 replied to principessaGG's topic in Home Health

    You should be able to chart at point of service and not be charting into the night. Is the issue really that too many visits are expected and/or the drive time is excessive? Also, one year is not...

  4. Assistant manager

    Libby1987 replied to special1rn's topic in Nurse Management

    Coming into a new position without prior experience is risky for sure. It's difficult to both prove yourself and the new position invaluable when you still need to learn it. This is not the best place...

  5. Career Planning. Advice? BSN.

    Libby1987 replied to rmorgv2's topic in General Nursing

    Rural home health. It was M-F days driving to 5-6 patients providing assessment, teaching, procedures. A lot of autonomy and responsibility. I loved it because I had a tangible impact everyday. And...

  6. How has nursing changed you?

    Libby1987 replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think nursing has changed me at all. Life sure has though. Motherhood, loss, joy, opportunities, health, exposure to many more good than bad people. I was a silly boy crazy girl when I...

  7. Do you miss bedside nursing?

    Libby1987 replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    My most recent patient care stint was 9 yrs long in home health . I loved much of it, the rest I dealt with. Most of what I didn't like were the changes in regulations and reimbursement requirements...

  8. I used to want to be a doctor

    Libby1987 replied to RiRi4life's topic in General Nursing

    I don't walk in your shoes so I cannot speak to your dad's perspective but I can say that both careers require that those in them know themselves and have the courage to persevere during the many...

  9. Evidence Based Weight Loss

    Libby1987 replied to Empire Chick's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to know how much strength training and increasing muscle mass affected the success of either

  10. First time ON-CALL and freaking out a bit!

    Libby1987 replied to anangelsmommy's topic in Home Health

    The only way this could be fair is if you are paid for at least 40 hrs every 3 weeks and your call is on your days worked. I do call on the weekends but I'm FT and being on call doesn't affect what I...

  11. I feel like I made a mistake with nursing. Did anyone hate med surg but love other floors?

    Libby1987 replied to missSB's topic in General Nursing

    Hate is too strong but I didn't like med surg back when it was more doable nor would I like the role now. I have loved my career in Home Health, well after my first couple of years when I become good...

  12. Nursing is Just a Job - Common Myths in Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I think it must be semantics because in this context I agree with the separation of your work as a job. I especially agree with his assertion that none of us, MD or Nurse, provide something more...

  13. Nursing is Just a Job - Common Myths in Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    The work I did prior to nursing were just jobs, ice cream scooper at Baskin Robbins, server at a family diner.. Nursing is my trade, I take tremendous pride in my work. I own it as if I had to pedal...

  14. Is It really management?

    Libby1987 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    In your real life scenario, is management rippling it out? I have strong feelings about morale within an organization, our company is very culture focused. I have expectations of my staff as I did...

  15. 3 Strike Rule: Non-Compliant Patients

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

    But certainly no Medicare security. The 5 star ratings have cost us a lot of time and resources but I can't say I blame the reason behind

  16. 3 Strike Rule: Non-Compliant Patients

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

    And along came financial penalties for readmissions. For every regulation there is some sort of abuse behind its

  17. Is It really management?

    Libby1987 replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a manager who works for a wonderful company, this starts with upper management and then it's my job to ripple it further

  18. First time ON-CALL and freaking out a bit!

    Libby1987 replied to anangelsmommy's topic in Home Health

    No pay? Are you clinical or supervisorial? Unless you're paid a generous salary I can't see taking every third week but being paid on a part time basis. Our clinical nurses are paid a flat $50/day and...

  19. Do most nurses not like writing papers?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Question to all, whether you enjoy writing or not, do you think it important to be part of the ASN or BSN

  20. Public Urination! License Renew

    Libby1987 replied to male_murse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Paper renewals are taking over 6 weeks in California. We kept trying to confirm one of our nurse's license and there was no way until it final,y posted as active. It took 7 weeks and this was 2 mos...

  22. I am not proud of my track record.

    Libby1987 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Not seeing to your patients receiving their treatments in some fashion, even if by the next shift, is pretty bad. Maybe not as bad as deliberately hurting them (but this isn't horseshoes) but still...

  25. Having 2nd thoughts about nursing! This is just a rant to anyone who cares to read.

    Libby1987 replied to pinedaw14's topic in General Nursing

    Many years into my career I decided to advance and put myself in a new and challenging position. I did have years of experience in this particular field that layered a strong foundation so I had that...
