  2. Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    Libby1987 replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wouldn't let anyone run me out of a good job no matter what they called me. To handle this I think I would go to my Mgr and HR without filing a complaint and ask them how I should proceed. If they...

  3. Is this my responsibility?

    Libby1987 replied to Charlie Raye's topic in General Nursing

    I realize you aren't comfortable with it but until the CT and possibly further test results are back you can answer the patient's questions as well as his PCP. Not wanting to is different than unable...

  4. Interview Question that has me stumped

    Libby1987 replied to CairnsICU's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    A brand new grad challenges your hospital's policy and guidelines and you're going to spend all that time entertaining him/her? As a new employee yourself? Picture that from an interviewer's...

  5. New Grad

    Libby1987 replied to ontnursec's topic in Home Health

    I have seen such a huge difference in the patients' experience between having a seasoned nurse knowledgeable in assessment, critical thinking, disease management and hands on skills and having a nurse...

  7. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    Libby1987 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Like everything else including working as an RN, it varies by person and circumstance. That I managed a part time job and full social life and went on to enjoy my career despite the changes in...

  8. Did I choose the wrong career?

    Libby1987 replied to RNyb's topic in General Nursing

    You see what the job looks like for an experienced nurse, do want to do that? Or is there an aspect of patient care, quality mgmt, etc that you are drawn to if you had the and knowledge and...

  10. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Libby1987 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Other than pre arranged senior practicum I was never assigned to burden a staff nurse. Like others I was assigned to a single patient and instructed by my clinical instructor. The only students I...

  11. Four month in. Ugh.

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    I would look at your seasoned coworkers to see if the way your offices are managed make the expectations plausible or unrealistic. Ive worked with nurses who struggle and pull the long frustrating...

  12. My WORST mistake in hospice...sniff

    Libby1987 replied to BerryhappyRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I think we all know this anguish after making a mistake. You're going to feel lousy for awhile but hopefully will soon be chalked up to experience and you can take some solace in that no outcomes were...

  13. Not getting it as nurses- the view

    Libby1987 replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    My random thoughts.. I don't think nor care about what some low brow commentator on a Jerry springer-esque talk show says about a beauty pageant contestant's talent bit. If you want the public to...

  14. I knew it was coming...

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

    Compassion is in action, not tears. There's nothing wrong with tears, they are just a way one can experience emotion but they don't qualify emotion. I haven't forgotten my first postmortem care....

  15. Losing clinical marketability

    Libby1987 posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I'm considering a position of Director of Clinical Services with prior mgmt experience back in my early 30's and career long strong clinical experience in my field of home health. I'm looking at both...

  16. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Libby1987 replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    What a shame, that retirement income would cover a significant amount of caregiving services to supplement what the family is able to provide if their other expenses were kept modest. Even in...

  17. Not excited about nursing--feels like a bad joke

    Libby1987 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    These posts always make me sad. Nursing was a lot harder when I graduated, though easier by today's standards. It was just harder for me because I was 1) new 2) my heart was someplace else. Now that...

    Libby1987 replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    Could almost be me. 50, love my work, youngest almost grown, healthy, geographically isolated, house and yardwork don't becken. I have a strong work ethic but that isn't what keeps me drawn in. I...

  19. Newbie question

    Libby1987 replied to Farawyn's topic in Home Health

    We have to support the need for therapy but what do you mean specifically? Can you post an example? I just sat down and charted a thorough SOC and ROC, on a simple straight forward knee and monthly...

  20. Typical Day For A Home Health Nurse | Life of a Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Much depends on who you work for. I strongly urge you to consider a company who assigns territories and then live in your territory. It will save time and increase your mileage reimbursement. I have...

  21. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Libby1987 replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    Your exaggeration probably isn't helping your credibility with your mom, who as POA is a more guilty party than the one "yanking" and "dragging". And if you didn't call law enforcement when your...

  22. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Libby1987 replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    You will regret him. Your children really will grow up too fast. You will grow into nursing, stick with home health, it's going to be a career that you will love. Save more. Hands down, the most...

  24. Burnt out and just getting started

    Libby1987 replied to danarooo's topic in Home Health

    I've been thinking about your situation. While I think 3 SOC for a newer nurse is not great practice I also think given your situation (read about the difficulties breaking into nursing) you might...

  25. Home health assessments

    Libby1987 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    That's what I would cover at SOC, then develop and follow a focused POC with a wide angled lens at
