  1. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I should know better but it still kinda blows me away when I catch a post from a non nurse giving nursing advice. I'd like to think no one is making career decisions based on a post but I wonder how...

  2. Arrogant "know it all" RN

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

    6 mos in your first nursing job? I'm the type to learn how to work with everyone and right now she does know a lot more than you. I'd use her like an encyclopedia and tell her to explain more every...

  3. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Libby1987 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not religious and have no particular belief system but if I have the time and it doesn't involve sacrificing a lamb I would pray to a sun god if a patient requested, a minute of my time goes miles...

  4. What is the difference between the hospital CM and SW?

    Libby1987 replied to Stripes311's topic in Case Management

    I would take your experience and head over to home health as a patient care case manager. (Or intake coordinator if you're trying to stay away from patient care and driving). Both are hard work but...

  5. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please, they didn't even have ponies when I took *my

  6. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    Libby1987 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a solution but just an individual measure..have any of you seasoned nurses (I'm knocking on that door at 50) offered or suggested to be part of a mentoring/preceptor program? I sort of...

  7. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, they're not using scan trons

  8. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Please, this was not about you or any other solid members. It was about someone without any kind of relevant experience to back up their advice as evidenced from another thread. I didn't think ahead...

  9. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    What I tried to clarify, and would change in the thread title if it were allowed, is that this was about people who truly haven't a clue but go on to pose as if they had any relevant experience in the...

  10. Pay per visit home health

    Libby1987 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Home Health

    First, if you're traveling 20-30 miles each way for each patient then no it doesn't work at all. My basic visit rate is $65 and it works out to an average of $50/hr for me (which is $8 over our base...

  11. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't going to post a name or link, or would have a ways back to defend myself against being prejudice against reasonable posters. I sure wasn't referring to anyone in good stead, nurse or

  12. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    It's been right in front of you. And I'm not talking about anyone with a reasonable perspective, more like talking out of her ***. I wouldn't start a whole thread over a different

  13. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I was referring to no

  14. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    No Farawyn, not a nursing student. A new poster getting scolded pretty well, along the lines of you don't know what you're talking about. Then said new poster went and gave career advice to an already...

  15. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    It's ironic that the units carry primarily refined

  16. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Your patients' glucose become critically high from having some peanut butter crackers? I wouldn't be funneling M&M's all day but just what kind of snacks do you guys carry on your

  17. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Coming from a HH perspective, you won't be changing long held dietary habits so if you wouldn't get in trouble for providing a snack I would avoid increasing the patient's agitation with tight...

  18. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    Libby1987 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I have a piggyback question.. Are you allowed to give patient foods outside of the MD ordered

  19. RN being bullied by LVN

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

    I don't think this is a bullying

  20. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I should clarify, when I say non nurses, I don't mean allied healthcare professionals or even those with relevant background that have something invaluable to offer. I'm talking about someone...

  21. Non nurses on AN

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I'm talking about a pre nursing student giving advice to an RN trying to make a decidedly RN career specific decision. It was not about something like what to wear to an interview. The pre nursing...

  22. The Hotel Phenomenon

    Libby1987 replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing

    Customers were being compared, not nurses and baristas. ie if the school principal can have a fit in the drive thru imagine the fit thrown when there is some real stress. What I said.....

  23. Are you really not a "real nurse" unless you work in acute care?

    Libby1987 replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I can see RN's feeling that way in decades past but now it seems many acute care nurses are feeling like wait and clerical staff, not like professional clinical

  24. About apologizing

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Speaking mostly to employee relationships.. What's your comfort level with it? Does it feel like you're conceding

  25. About apologizing

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same. I've had to undo a lot of poorly taught pop psych LOL. My SO has learned what a real apology is and that it's safe to give
