  3. How is it fair to put PRN nurses on call?

    Libby1987 replied to sarabear44's topic in General Nursing

    Are you put "on call" casually or are you mandated to respond and report to work if they call? The 2nd scenario seems like you should be paid something for being on standby (like any other type of...

  4. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Libby1987 replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    I read too much into your statement of this being a house wide problem, that's what led me to think his response would be no surprise to you. And here's where my reasoning comes in regarding the way...

  5. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Libby1987 replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    You agree with telling a known egotistical jerk that his patient is upset with him because he left drains? Lamb to slaughter. I would have protected my patient from something that could have been...

  6. Occupational Therapist or RN?

    Libby1987 replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Call a home health agency and ask for an opportunity to speak with an OT. The pay and education time and expense is almost comparable, not enough difference to make your decision on based on either...

  11. Bags?

    Libby1987 replied to Morganalefey's topic in Home Health

    I bought my last one at TJMaxx because I wanted something I liked the look and feel of. It has pockets in the outside for hand sanitizer, pens, dirty pocket. Small pockets on the inside for scissors...

  14. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Libby1987 replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    Shame on both of you and your immature egos. I never would have told the surgeon that his patient was upset with him. That harmed the patient. I would have told him she had been weepy all day and...

  15. The effects of not reporting harassment

    Libby1987 replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    Your first statement to him was instantly divisive to his patient

  16. Why Nursing Sucks...

    Libby1987 replied to pixiern15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Too many nurses dependent on keeping a job they resent due to their debt and creating COL's maxing out their wage potential. Allegedly the ratios are bad, the managers are stupid, NETY and the...

  17. Medication Error: I feel stupid

    Libby1987 replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    With the dilaudid and tizanidine both being short acting why would the combo cause bradycardia all night long? Even if you work nights, if you gave them at start of shift at 7p, why would it cause...

    Libby1987 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

  19. 2016 Salary thread

    Libby1987 replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the answers. It's always puzzled me but works out for us up here who aren't paying Bay Area housing costs. Ive also heard it called the Sunshine Tax and I suppose the climate and locale do...

  20. Fragrance Sacrifice

    Libby1987 replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

    I guess fragrance is like cilantro, it's either loved or hated. I have to use everything fragrance free except for shampoo for some reason, but the rest of the products have to be hypoallergenic. I...

  21. 2016 Salary thread

    Libby1987 replied to kbrn2002's topic in General Nursing

    Is that the actual reason? I live in NorCal. Much of NorCal's COL is equal or less than SoCal yet our wages are still significantly higher. Why does the greater Sacramento area pay approximately...

  22. Home health tracking Apps

    Libby1987 replied to jlynn2303's topic in Home Health

  23. interview for HH

    Libby1987 replied to jazzymama76's topic in Home Health

    What are your scheduling priorities? If time off and flexibility are high, I think you'll see less of that in a salaried position. You essentially will only be abLe to take time off after you have...

  24. New hospital nurse... needing advice

    Libby1987 replied to rn1115's topic in General Nursing

    8 weeks for your first floor position? We used to be ready to be functional in 8 weeks, my own telemetry orientation was 6 weeks after working there as an extern, but we can't even orient an...

  25. Why does this feel like a break-up?

    Libby1987 replied to love&loss's topic in General Nursing

    Opposing views here.. People too too often don't listen to their anxiety when making a decision. You're leaving an over staffed unit (over staffed because of?) to an understaffed unit who will hire a...
