  1. Facebook and employers/school

    Libby1987 replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    Your profile can work to your advantage if you lead and post a life that is in line with what your employer is looking for. It's gives a first impression and an idea of personality. I like seeing...

  2. Results from What You Hate Most about Your Job Post (5/25/16)

    Libby1987 replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    I'm relieved to see compensation low on the list, it's one of the things I have the least wiggle room with. The rest is where we do our best to make up for what we can't provide in terms of...

  3. Doctor's negative view of NP / Psych NP

    Libby1987 replied to Granted Fal's topic in Advanced Practice

    I've been seeing the same NP for my women's health for over two decades, I apparently like this arrangement! I like taking my kids to NPs as a first line of care because it's a little easier for me to...

  5. 2015 allnurses Salary Survey Results

    Libby1987 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Poster stated his location, why did you refer to a different location? California is huge with a very diverse demographic. I live an hour from this referenced poster. We rent out a nice newer home for...

  6. Do you feel safe reporting errors?

    Libby1987 replied to sweetdreame's topic in General Nursing

    Always felt safe but that's not why I report. My one self imposed anxiety is worse than anything an employer has doled out. Our staff are safe to report to me but of course if there's a pattern of...

  7. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Libby1987 replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Has no one wondered how a woman who made it to the milestone of thinning gray hair wouldn't have thought of soap and water herself? What is she, ignorant with no life experience? Maybe she went in...

  8. Stanford Rape

    Libby1987 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    He put debris with signs of trauma in the lady parts of an unconscious woman. That's rape with a big dose of somnophilia. (Yes, I had to look that up). He's a sick

  9. Feel Cheated by Pay Per Visit

    Libby1987 replied to homecaresurvivor's topic in Home Health

    I wasn't assuming anything, I don't know either way. I gave different scenarios, and you very well could fit the other description I also offered. I didn't intend to offend you. I'm the unpopular...

  10. Med error...what to do?

    Libby1987 replied to kh2013's topic in General Nursing

    Guilt, performance issues and incident reports don't need to go hand in hand. PPs: Why avoid the incident report? We prefer to have

  11. First Job as a Nurse Manager for new grad

    Libby1987 replied to joohwangee's topic in General Nursing

    And less you have some relevant management and regulatory experience I think it would be a huge risk to your career and

  12. Stanford Rape

    Libby1987 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how we could impact rape culture without looking at parental attitudes. Remember the high school where several football players raped (and desecrated the victim's body) and the coaches...

  13. pay cut to do cna visits

    Libby1987 replied to kmcrn1968's topic in Home Health

    This sounds like a legal question so I won't even attempt. I would however ever take my home health experience on a job

  14. Stanford Rape

    Libby1987 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    My knee jerk response was some form of reprieve for the parents who were instinctually defending their son. But a year of evidence and reflection later? Being crushed and having your heart torn into a...

  15. New nurse, home health, stressed/depressed

    Libby1987 replied to linnie94's topic in General Nursing

    I surprised you're doing as well as you are being a new grad. With only 6 mos in, you have the potential to get a handle on the documentation and boundaries. Not everyone can master the documentation...

  16. Feel Cheated by Pay Per Visit

    Libby1987 replied to homecaresurvivor's topic in Home Health

    I would have you claim hourly time on your time sheet. I never want our staff to feel taken advantage of. However 23 years in, you know it's a risk to drive out to an unconfirmed visit and that...

  17. Nicu to home health. Am I crazy?

    Libby1987 replied to mlang's topic in Home Health

    I'm not case managing anymore but my experience was very similar to Haddoa's. Difference being I've been a career home health nurse, both case management and administration, Haddoa seems to be one of...

  18. I Told him she shouldn't be discharged....

    Libby1987 replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Completely agree. There is much naivety in the nursing population in general re reimbursement and admission criteria. I can't speak for the healthcare giants with shareholders et al but in regard to...

  19. Negotiating Pay

    Libby1987 replied to FutureCruzanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did they post the minimum years experience needed? Is so, 2.5 years may not carry negotiating

  20. Feeling overwhelmed

    Libby1987 replied to sungrl01's topic in General Nursing

    Those are completely new tasks and in a new environment for you. If they're going to give them all to you from the beginning, I would expect it to be overwhelming and to be working over. That doesn't...

  21. RN started affair with pt...led to divorce

    Libby1987 replied to Whispjes55's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If she truly took advantage of him, report her without hesitation. But from a spouse's* perspective, if this was a mutual situation I don't think reporting her would help me heal as I don't think...

  22. Hospital Cares More about HCAHPS than Nurses!

    Libby1987 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    We have these in home health now and with the history of fraud in home care, both careless waste and deliberate fraud. I think asking the patients if they actually improved is a fair question, if...

  23. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Libby1987 replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    There was nothing morally correct about OP's actions. No interjection was needed and for someone with a nursing license her behavior was obnoxious. OP behaved like an uniformed lay person, but she's...

  24. anyone know of any other jobs

    Libby1987 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    We were just talking about the good ole days in 1980's home health. I worked about 5-6 hrs/day and made full time wages. Charting was on a half sheet of paper, patients were often chronic and/or...

    Libby1987 replied to Fireflynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My daughter's BFF specializes in vivid hues, I love seeing her photos on FB. She's been picked up by media and has become our small town star, I have come to love the pretty colors and beautiful...
