  1. Do you ever resent your job(s)?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I accepted a promotion last year into a position that I knew was going to kick my butt initially and that I was going to need to pour myself into it, which I did. I had a few warn me not to burn out...

  2. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    Libby1987 replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. It's my commitment that drives me, and also makes it as much my trade as a means to earn a living. What that commitment means for me has changed and grown over the years. It has...

  3. Should nurses get paid according to specialty?

    Libby1987 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a healthy debate, you've already stated you could float and perform on the job responsibilities in another nursing field and implying no extra training is needed. That premise in of...

  4. I'm a nursing student thinking of quitting my CNA job?

    Libby1987 replied to michigan94's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you confident that you will easily get a job as an RN at this hospital? And why would you considering how you're under appreciated and team work isn't part of the

  5. Should nurses get paid according to specialty?

    Libby1987 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Come to my front porch and I'll show you what you can't

  6. Don't you feel guilty for not working in a hospital?

    Libby1987 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

  7. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    Libby1987 replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

    I chose nursing because it was practical, graduated young at one of the best times in the industry, and grew into it. First couple of years were bumpy but then I found my niche and thrived. It wasn't...

  8. Millennials in the workplace

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

    I've worked with amazing and not so amazing people, based off of my own preconceived standards, with all of the characteristics described on this thread and they all span the

  9. Question from non-nurse

    Libby1987 replied to Imnotanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm proactive and push for fast results and have a preconceived idea that social workers would be the same. Almost 30 yrs in and I'm still surprised when I don't see the tenaciousness of my...

  10. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Libby1987 replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Owning who you are is attractive. But any one person is only going to appeal to a limited number of people, no one attracts them all. Not everyone loves even Zac Efron, even since he grew up *swoon*...

  11. So you're just a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not arguing with your experience but for me I think it has had a lot less with what I do than with my confidence and composure. I'm sure it also has much to do with my job satisfaction. It's...

  13. Jealous of my residency

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

    Agree.

  14. Career Change-confused!!

    Libby1987 replied to Aspiring_RN_'s topic in General Nursing

    You're missing something fundamental here. None of the multiple nurses who observed your dad, or in theory should have observed your dad, noted and/or acted on his s/s of pneumonia. It took yourself,...

  15. So you're just a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I've received nothing but respect for being a nurse. I haven't had too many speak about their health problems but when they do it doesn't irritate me, I perceive it as people who are either just...

  16. Scared of loans

    Libby1987 replied to tanac's topic in General Nursing

    The only way I could justify the debt would be.. I was realistically confident i could secure a job, in a competitive market that may he more competitive by the time I graduated. I was realistically...

  17. How to tell administration enough is enough

    Libby1987 replied to Lano1's topic in General Nursing

    "Am I being punked?" Seriously, are you being serious? It doesn't even sound plausible, including the loving it part. If it's 100% as you describe, I would tell them straight up that I accepted these...

  18. How much money to expect as a new grad RN?

    Libby1987 replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    High 30's/hr to low 40's/hr to ~50/hr before taxes in Northern California Non Bay Area, from LTC to Home Health to Acute (in that order) before taxes. There's no way to estimate after

  20. Lifestyle of a Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to contemplations's topic in General Nursing

    There's a lot of pressure in my job to always do more and better with less while giving exceptional customer care. I thrive on the successes but I work with nurses who are exhausted. I also habe heard...

  21. Is it wrong to request PTO because you've been assigned a shift you don't want?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Now that you've clarified one employer scheduled these shifts with only 6 hrs between, this seems either an oversight and/or an HR

  22. Frustrated

    Libby1987 replied to pinedaw14's topic in General Nursing

  23. Binded with a contract and trying to see the positive side of it.

  24. In over my head?

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

    That's so blatantly hostile and hateful. Who heard the comment and what were their

  25. San Francisco Job Market

    Libby1987 replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    Better estimate rent starting at 4K. I can't speak specific to current job market but with cost of housing out of control I'd venture a nurse with relevant experience can find
