  1. One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

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

    Oh please, it is rude and disrespectful in US culture. I can't figure why anyone would try to defend or justify it. I personally wouldn't care, it would be an excuse to tune them out, but that...

  8. Home Health daily visits for insulin injections, is that fraud?

    Libby1987 replied to esla's topic in Home Health

  20. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Libby1987 replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

  25. New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Libby1987 replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nefarious isn't what came to mind. More of a question why someone would continue high risk pregnancies after a likelihood was established. Or has the criteria changed? Like everyone meets sepsis...
