  1. Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    Libby1987 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    California requires 30 hrs, I think always but certainly back to the 80's. A 30 hr home study course runs about $75. If no CEUs are required, I can't imagine why anyone would be late unless they...

  2. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

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

    I hope you will read my post before you go. I did not assume that you were being intentionally deceitful. I was coming from a neutral POV with a manager's perspective. One I thought you should be...

  3. Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    Libby1987 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    No one but me alluded to CEUs, doesn't everyone have to complete them? Or are other states that

  5. Selection Criteria

    Libby1987 replied to KNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Research why all of these became issues. Every single one has a story of fraud, abuse, mistreatment etc behind them and the consequences were an over reaction, per usual. If you can speak to the...

  6. Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    Libby1987 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    1) reluctance to invest time/effort in anything nursing off the clock. 2) passive agressive way of being pulled off the schedule (which may be done

  7. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

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

    Getting you the transfer isn't owed you, is it? How is that even on them if they lost interest in it? Maybe the ER manager with the scheduling but do you really expect the others to get after

  8. Best Small Cities/Towns Nurse Salary/Cost of Living Ratio

    Libby1987 replied to stnurse2016's topic in General Nursing

  10. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

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

    They are not going to give an employee on WC a promotion or pay for skills classes that they don't if you'll be cleared to perform. They sure don't want you more injured and incur The costs a big...

  11. I hurt my back at work and I think my employer is going to fire me. Need career advice.

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

    I think they caught you trying to manipulate a sensitive issue. You should have just taken the consecutive short phone shifts without trying to make it work it better for you. You shouldn't have had...

  12. Should I have volunteered to stay overnight?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's relevant to know when your 2nd job's shift began or if you've ever stayed an additional shift. If my next shift was too soon to get adequate sleep and/or if I'd already shown that I'd...

  13. Colleagues who hate patients

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

    I can feel some empathy with nurses who joined back in yesteryear, it would be tough to be 60 something and the only living wage skill set that they possess is in nursing. They entered as such a...

    Libby1987 replied to MrBlueSky's topic in Patient Medications

    Who are these nurses? How pervasive is this and other ignorances in

  15. nursing career over 50 in Raleigh

    Libby1987 replied to Bsimeon's topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare 30 yrs ago doesn't reflect at all what it is now. The caseloads and acuities have increased immensely. It would be very prudent to follow MMJ's advice and truely witness what the job looks...

  17. Need advice............

    Libby1987 replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to have more to do with something else than age. Mid 40s is not not-young. And ICU patients should have no idea if their nurses are young and/or pretty, if they do then it's time for a...

  18. Need advice............

    Libby1987 replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    You've just about seen the whole picture then. Mid 40s? Are you kidding? If I had current acute care experience with some life experience on top of other nursing experience, I'd go anywhere and kick...

  19. NEW nurse, too soon to leave my first job?

    Libby1987 replied to NewNurse.2016's topic in General Nursing

    I believe if you were drowning, you would have emphasized that. Out patient/ambulatory/non acute settings will have increasing numbers of openings. And they are going to get harder because those...

  20. Need advice............

    Libby1987 replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    How many years of acute care experience do you have? How is your energy and availability to pour yourself into something

  21. Difference between Home Health, Palliative Care and Hospice??

    Libby1987 replied to LockportRN's topic in Home Health

    Hands down, if he were my dad and I could be there full time for a good chunk of a time, I would bring him home and rehabilitate him. The decub itself is much related to not having one on one care. If...

  23. AssistantNurseManager or QualityConsultant

    Libby1987 replied to jprn0809's topic in Nurse Management

    Your poll doesn't work for me. The quality position will be better hours and less stress (in my opinion). There will be stress no doubt as all positions have productivity expectations but of a...

  24. Late Nurses and people who don't have kids

    Libby1987 replied to AbigailJo's topic in Home Health

    First, it's better to deal with somethings g like this directly before you become resentful. Resentment will come out in your approach and attitude and then you've put yourself in the light of being...

  25. Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    Libby1987 replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you. I had a series of anxiety and panic attacks years ago. I took advantage of both rx and counseling for several years. They helped immensely and then we found an underlying hormonal cause...
