  1. Do most nurses not like writing papers?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

  3. I am not proud of my track record.

    Libby1987 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

  4. I am not proud of my track record.

    Libby1987 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

  6. You're fired

    Libby1987 replied to dburkhart's topic in General Nursing

  7. When considering a nursing career..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  8. Was told to consider not being a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry if the phrase is offensive, my Christian coworkers have used it and I thought it's intended meaning was understood and accepted. For me it meant a tremendous enlightenment. If you delete it...

  9. Bringing the hospital to the home

    Libby1987 replied to BCgradnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If candidates meet criteria as described and a caregiver is a available then yes. This part is so true and made me chuckle: "Of those who do enroll, the number one complaint is too many people knock...

  10. Was told to consider not being a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

    Also, for what it's worth, I made a serious error in my residency program. It was an error from not being diligent in referring to P&P. I also had maturity problems initially and received a...

    Libby1987 replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

  14. Do it all over again? Aaaaaaa

    Libby1987 replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    The "would you do it again?" question is hard for me to answer. On one hand, I like my work more than ever. On the other, just for the sake of something new and/or adventurous, I would like to see if...

  15. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Libby1987 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    With the republicans sweeping everything, we're going to see something change for sure. And it won't be healthcare as an unalienable right for

  16. Pay renegotiation ideas needed

    Libby1987 replied to xanderfan's topic in General Nursing

    You could say you've done additional research and found the local rates are significantly higher than you are being offered and originally said would be satisfactory. You want the opportunity and to...

    Libby1987 replied to Noodle28's topic in General Nursing

  18. Regret becoming a nurse....

    Libby1987 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    ((((((Hugs)))))) For what it's worth I love my career now but I did not like it too much the first year. I got the needed acute experience but that type of nursing wasn't for me then and wouldn't be...

    Libby1987 replied to MJPN2012's topic in General Nursing

    I have over 15 yrs in the field. Have been bit by a dog once. I can think of 3 situations in all of that time that made me nervous and nothing came of them. I worked in a small town/rural area which...

  22. Hating Hospital work. What next?

    Libby1987 replied to MJPN2012's topic in General Nursing

  23. When considering a nursing career..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you realized and accepted that about 1/2 of your day or more will be spent doing things you don't want to do and you can survive until you thrive then that is a success. Or if you're the...

  25. When considering a nursing career..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing
