  1. About those new grads----!!!!!

    Libby1987 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Us old vets are having to adjust to lesser prepared new grads for higher patient acuities. The work itself is getting more challenging for us, add under prepared new grads, or those who interview well...

  2. Is tipping allowed?

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

    From my perspective, I make a good wage and I don't need tips plus words can't be bought. Written acknowledgement is huge for me. I can buy my own Starbucks but positive words impact my day and lift...

  3. Should I become a nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to librarian2nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your experience in researching medical topics is nothing related to the working conditions and duties of a nurse, unless it was in a field of research. You need to know what a day and a long hard week...

  5. When to Get Pregnant

    Libby1987 replied to metamedicine's topic in General Nursing

    I'd need to know your age, how financially desperate you need to be able to get a job after graduation, how many hours you'd need to work, and your expected childcare

  6. The challenge of new leaders...delegation

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in Nurse Management

    I recently transitioned into mgmt and I've found that I like to delegate in a way that demonstrates trust that I don't have to do everything myself. Coming from working side by side with my staff and...

  7. Resigning after 3 months

    Libby1987 replied to sarah620's topic in General Nursing

    If your manager and coworkers believe you are doing well, I would strategically figure out ways to support my stress and get two years completed. I may still go back to school in order to do something...

  8. My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Libby1987 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    I question it myself so I think it's a valid concern. I know of a nurse who had an *anonymous* username but she was figured out eventually by someone motivated and then copied who submitted the thread...

  9. The film: Vaxxed.

    Libby1987 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

  10. Negativity & Getting On With Life

    Libby1987 replied to glass1/2full's topic in General Nursing

  11. No pain meds in ER??

    Libby1987 replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

  12. The film: Vaxxed.

    Libby1987 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It's not only about our own children, but also about those who are too young or have a medically contraindicated reason for vaccination and/or are immune

  13. The film: Vaxxed.

    Libby1987 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Is this redundant and/or annoying, but why isn't the correlation of DM2, obesity and explosion in processed/high sugar intake not linked more often to all things recently epidemic? That's where I hear...

  14. The film: Vaxxed.

    Libby1987 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

  15. Thrown From the Tower!!

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

    But did this poor woman have such a response as: "She needs to grow some thick skin!! My husband is like maybe she's jealous of you and how much you earn or because she's single and miserable. I don't...

  17. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    Libby1987 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

  18. Conflicted about Job Offer

    Libby1987 replied to badwolf4's topic in General Nursing

    Neither. Where do you want to be in 3-5 years? What will get you there? If you want to be living near your family in a job you both enjoy and succeed in, don't set yourself up for failure. Perhaps...

  21. Not what I expected

    Libby1987 replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with above posters and will add that the energy you're expending trying to get out of there might be contributing to your stress and stress induced symptoms. If you could change your...
