  2. Oasis.......Yikes

    Libby1987 replied to rockchickrn's topic in Home Health

    Oasis is learnable but you're still very early in and learning about a multi aspect speciality. I'd advise taking a section at a time and learn efficient ways to obtain comprehensive info and the...

  3. CRNA vs NP vs PA

    Libby1987 replied to STICRN's topic in General Nursing

    This highly recurrent question reminds me of "should I be a doctor or an astronaut?". They are so different with the only thing in common is the perception of better pay, schedule and working...

    Libby1987 replied to fatlittlething's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't give notice on risk losing both my PTO and my job until I had an offer letter I don't know who/what Northwell is, but if I intend to hire someone I'm going to honor their need to give...

  8. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    Libby1987 replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't entirely agree about the claim of 50 lbs will happen in 90 days (so everyone relax lol) nor do I like the promotion of organic and grass fed only due to the unintentional discouragement it...

    Libby1987 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to CalArmy's topic in Home Health

    2 patients in 6 weeks. Could either be poor coping reaction to their situation, a pattern of how your communication is perceived or a lack of thoroughness in care. You state you helped a post op...

    Libby1987 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

  16. Advice, tips, comments for a soon to be nurse

    Libby1987 replied to jennifermae24's topic in General Nursing

    I would choose Med-Surg for my practicum. It may be the only place you can get a job or it may be what you need to achieve your short and long term career goals. As hard as it is to learn to juggle,...

  17. Specialty envy.

    Libby1987 replied to regerterb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a career home health nurse. This is not the playground. If someone is naive to my responsibilities, I will explain to them if asked. Otherwise I just enjoy my very fulfilling work. Decide what...

  18. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Libby1987 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's necessarily a special snowflake or generational thing. I think it's telling how so many new grads are terribly overwhelmed once they hit the floors after previously wondering why...

    Libby1987 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

  22. Stanford Rape

    Libby1987 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, Kooky. Why in the world would you make all of your inflammatory comments without even had read the details of the case? Where is your sensibility? You've come across as ignorant by the...

  23. Daisy Award on Badge for New Grad

    Libby1987 replied to rachmac11's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason I wouldn't wear it would be the possibility (strong or not) of not seemingly living up to it in my new role. I wouldn't want to stir thoughts of how the heck did she win that as I was...
