  1. The Hotel Phenomenon

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

    I'm saying there is more than one perspective than the nurse's. Not all rest by family members takes place during the night. My dad was confused and weak as hell as he was dying, I stayed with...

  2. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    Libby1987 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't pose with my clothes on if it weren't for something I'd want me name/image attached to. No, I wouldn't be undressed while the men weren't, ewww. There isn't a sexual theme in this...

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

    Libby1987 replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    In my case it's because I don't work nights, weekends or major holidays. In general most M-F 8-5 positions don't pay than

  4. The Wisdom of Lurking

    Libby1987 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I've ressurected an old thread but I'm sure I have commented on a thread already ressurected. And I am curious to the outcomes of some dilemmas, apparently some still get notifications...

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

    Libby1987 replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt they're actually saying that. Other than my initial acute care experience my career has been in the out patient setting, specifically home health. Our clients and providers most definitely...

  6. Career Advice, please?

    Libby1987 replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    Can I add one last thought that applies to your situation? I finally requested to move into mgmt, I need recent experience for a planned move and this is best place for me to obtain it. I know this...

  7. less than 2 week notice for these reasons

    Libby1987 replied to tinybbynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why because you aren't living life to the fullest that you can't give two weeks notice nor do I understand why you are accepting assignments that aren't paying RN wages. Did you...

  8. Hiring experienced nurses vs hiring new graduates

    Libby1987 replied to edogs334's topic in Nurse Management

    It didn't seem to be as much of an issue when I graduated as it is these days

  9. Should I report this nurse for unprofessionalism?

    Libby1987 replied to crosew's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm HH and there is a leaning curve for dealing with patients in their homes, whether this nurse is at the beginning of this curve or if this is the way she is, we would want to talk to her about it....

  10. The Hotel Phenomenon

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

    I think that nurses, understandably, see things through their own lens. I have a unique perspective seeing patients come home. Exhausted by lack of sleep, going days with interrupted sleep on top of...

  11. I got reported to HR

    Libby1987 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I counter that anecdotal evidence with my family has. Personally I've never faced a societal obstacle. I don't come from money or an affluent background, my parents were under educated and blue...

  12. Career advice.. Administrator - Home Health?

    Libby1987 replied to Laicia's topic in Nurse Management

    Did you take this position? Did it work out? My HH director had no previous HH experience and she was initially hired into the asst dir position and is one of my favorite mgrs I've had. I do have...

  13. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    Libby1987 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Fired for G or PG rated bikini photos?

  14. I got reported to HR

    Libby1987 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because something might not be measurable in certain terms doesn't mean it doesn't exist. God comes to

  15. Taking a pay cut to go to day shift?

    Libby1987 replied to tobydog01's topic in General Nursing

    It's pretty sad if an RN cannot afford daycare on day shift wages. Daycare is definitely an intangible expense like insurance premiums that no ones likes to pay but RN wages should cover basic living...

  16. I got reported to HR

    Libby1987 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't get how anyone can think white priviledge doesn't exist. I guess one would also believe that attractive and lean priviledge doesn't exist

  17. Taking a pay cut to go to day shift?

    Libby1987 replied to tobydog01's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how you can call it selfish. First you're working hard for a living either way. But then you're also going to have 3 days a week off with her, following a normal sleep pattern so you won't...

  18. New Grad...Is this typical?

    Libby1987 replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    75 IV starts in school? We haven't had an ADN grad come to us with much hands on experience. We have a community college merit based program that feeds the area and they all need skills training if...

  19. New Grad...Is this typical?

    Libby1987 replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I'm not seeing is newer nurses having done some homework beforehand, it's like they're hearing and seeing it for the first time. Somethings definitely take feel, others are more step and...

  20. How do you handle narcissist patients?

    Libby1987 replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why are you calling this patient narcissistic? By your telling it seems you lack experience with behavioral health and unless there is a dx of narcissim I'm wondering where and how you determined...

  21. Charting help

    Libby1987 replied to happymama's topic in Home Health

    I've been reviewing notes the last couple of weeks, can't tell you how many I see documenting teaching or doing simple procedures as a skill with no indication of medical necessity. ie Teaching...

  22. Comfortable living?

    Libby1987 replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    Call me weird but this just remind me of the movie The Gambler and the big lesson, being able to say F..... Painting yourself into a corner where you can't quit or move for a better situation is a...

  23. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    Libby1987 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    What was the cost to

  24. New Grad...Is this typical?

    Libby1987 replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to remember when I learned these things. I graduated so long ago that it's a blur. Other than catheters I think I learned most skills in my extern and residency programs. Most of the...

  25. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    Libby1987 replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty vain so last year I would have*, this year I would have donated money. *as long as all of the bikini parts were
