  1. Is home health that bad?

    Libby1987 replied to trinan71's topic in Home Health

    Where are you

  2. Nursing: The Highly Skilled Customer Service Representative

    Libby1987 replied to gleanns's topic in General Nursing

    Let me ask a few questions.. Understaffing for patient acuity exists, yes? If you agree with that, why would you expect good scores? You want to be given a handicap for being short staffed? I get that...

  3. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

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

    I don't think that's an opposing observation. I agree with you and think they all go hand in hand, but it also may be a chicken and egg question. And perhaps the answer

  4. Patient Complained About Me

    Libby1987 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Students

    That's good. And like others have said, this has happened to everyone. It's how you respond to it that speaks to your emotional maturity and how your manager can predict you will handle yourself in...

  5. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

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

    I think some of the approaches suggested on this thread and others on this site contribute to the squeaky wheel myth, which probably has also insidiously helped perpetuate the customer service...

  6. Patient Complained About Me

    Libby1987 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Students

    I would notify the manager myself that I blew it with a difficult situation and lost my composure, what caused it (from my end, not the patient's) and how I plan to avoid that from happening again. I...

  7. quality of work life balance

    Libby1987 replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Advanced Practice

    I work M-F days, no weekends or holidays, performing desk, communication and education. Good pay. I didn't have to spend more years and money in school while trying to make a living, nor did I have...

  8. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

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

    Some of the responses here validate some of the complaints. I'm all about being constructive but this woman is passing a kidney stone. Is this how you would speak to a woman in labor? Or any other...

  9. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

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

    My kidney stone made me irrational. And I suppose deranged if I got a lecture. Much worse than any of my childbirths where I at least got a break. They're not a rare occurance, I question why you...

  10. Case Management/Utilization Review Help

    Libby1987 replied to pilatesgal's topic in Case Management

    My career has primarily been home care, it opened a door to UR. It was a great job but I went back to home

  11. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    Libby1987 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I just read mark zuckerberg is now the 4th richest person in the world at a net worth of $48 billion. Here we are quibbling with what someone can earn delivering packages while our FB activity grows...

  12. African American patients - a cultural question

    Libby1987 replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, perhaps they are wondering if your culture shapes your approach. Are you coming in reciting questions? Or are you find out and meeting them where they're at? I've done the majority of my career...

  13. Nursing: The Highly Skilled Customer Service Representative

    Libby1987 replied to gleanns's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not at all surprised that this conclusion was drawn by Press Ganey. Why they have always been the enemy baffles me. That some employers have tried to influence scores with a hotel service facade...

  14. The Emotional Work of Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I've been Tiffany a few times but also learned a valuable lesson re oncologists. I was jumping up and down for a patient that was similar to the young man described here in your post. His wife clung...

  15. Is home health that bad?

    Libby1987 replied to trinan71's topic in Home Health

    Home Health is hard work, like any other nursing job. There is obviously driving. The closer you live to the office and your patient territory, the more of the mileage will be covered. There is a...

  16. Nurse considering law school

    Libby1987 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    The 1987 reference, are you speaking to me? I have no intention of law

  17. Nurse considering law school

    Libby1987 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    And herein lies the formula to your success, your attitude, commitment and work ethic. I didn't hear any cry for work life balance, just ambition with the willingness and ability to

  18. I hate my job / CST / CIRCULATORS

    Libby1987 replied to htjob's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a kick back place to work as an RN, they must be happy in general having all of that time to carry on and scroll social media. Even for the techs, with their long

  19. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    Libby1987 replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    What do your instructors and classmates suggest? Are any of them in the same situation and what are their plans? The only area I can think of not requiring you to be on your feet all day where you...

  20. At home position vs bedside

    Libby1987 replied to msward1987's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for an insurance company for a short while (great job btw) when I had a 2 yr old, I still needed to utilize some child care. Having a little one demanding attention while you're trying to...

  21. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Libby1987 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

  22. Getting bored. Recommedations?

    Libby1987 replied to Yitong_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Bored 3 years in? My immediate thought is that you're only scratching the surface in your practice. If you've got time and mental energy to spare, have you maxed out patient/caregiver education,...

  23. so confused. don't know what to do

    Libby1987 replied to want2behappy's topic in General Nursing

    Home health agencies recruit hard for OT's. It's a very nice career. Dont worry about the 25 yrs old part, just kick forward and finish

  24. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    Libby1987 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kinda ticked that home health just got dismissed like chopped liver so to test out one of RND's theories.. OP (you still there?), if the SNF offered you say $10/hr raise, cut your patient load in...

  25. Is it tacky/disrespectful to do this?

    Libby1987 replied to Molly.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Home health. They start off with more than a week of office and modules at their full hourly rate. Then for the next few weeks they are strictly shadowing a nurse who is given extra compensation and...
