  1. I've only been in med/surg 1 year and I'm already burned out. What else can I do as an RN?

    Libby1987 replied to N7K8's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't specify why you hate nursing. Is it the responsibility, the physical exertion, poop, patients or

  2. OMG - how much more bad can things get?

    Libby1987 replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    I'd never heard of that. Just read an article about it though. Pretty much makes everything short of another tragedy

  3. Question re foreign educated RN..

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the detailed response! I want to clarify, I was referring to two different RN's. One is licensed here in Ca and works for my company in another branch. He was the one who told me about...

  4. Question re foreign educated RN..

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible to say what would be an equivalent U.S. education/license for someone who holds an RN in the Phillipines but is not licensed in the U.S.? Is it basically the same as an RN here? Or...

  5. I want to return to home care but not sure. Have a queston.

    Libby1987 replied to Steve123's topic in Home Health

    I can complete a routine visit note uninterrupted on paper in 5 min, can't imagine it taking up to 15 min unless I had an addl TO, med addendum, infection report. On our recent EMR a visit note with...

  6. I want to return to home care but not sure. Have a queston.

    Libby1987 replied to Steve123's topic in Home Health

    That's a great idea, a ride along to see how long the documentation takes

  7. I'm a sexless nurse

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is a cultural issue, OP must be comfortable in his own cultural skin where female nurses doing female caths are customary anyway so I guess this was about questioning North American...

  8. I'm a sexless nurse

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Since OP's experience was 20 yrs ago, it reminds me of a female in law that I had, she would have been about 60 yrs old 20 yrs ago. She told me she would only have a male GYN because she wouldn't be...

  9. I got reported to HR

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

    I've stuck my foot in mouth plenty of times, can't deny that. The "kindest person" though would have said something like Oh crap I was thoughtless and I don't want to offend anyone like that again,...

  10. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You're convincing me that I don't have a valid point but it's been based on today's Media including access is vastly different than what and how much was available pre Internet and the access kids had...

  11. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't take issue with thread drifts or insisting that a school nurse stick to the script. It was how personal experience with Media was being used to defend Media as okay for teens (statements like...

  12. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have an opinion on Media for other adults, but if OP had that discussion with my sons it would be a non-issue for me because I agree that there is content out there (that isn't filtered) that...

  13. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. The way the thread has gone apples from oranges. The fact is, (I'm pretty sure it's a fact) we don't yet know the impact of today's early teens' access (and please stop comparing it to magazines...

  14. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you refuse to stay on topic? OP isn't about men and their sex lives who were 14 in

  15. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Dial up access at 14? Cell phone? Lap top? He didn't have the crazy access OP's group has right now. How is his experience at all relevant to youth's current widespread access to Internet Media? You...

  16. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    OC, your husband's anecdotal evidence can't be relevant because he didn't grow up in these current times social media is expanding like wildfire, anymore than my SO's experience, who might say I'd...

  17. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Helloooo. This topic is about teens, not your adult sex life or what your husband likes, that could be another thread if anyone wants to start it but really pretty irrelevant to 14 yr old boys who in...

  18. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think the point with the teens and Media, besides the exploitive side of the industry fringe, is that it isn't representative of a sexual RELATIONSHIP and at that developing age, their expectations...

  21. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Libby1987 replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    What happened when the rumor mill caught up? I would have been curious as all get out but were they

  22. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Libby1987 replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Answering my own question after reading those amazing stories. I want to drive to Oakland right now though and kick someone hard in the

  23. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Libby1987 replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    I'm off to read your article but I want to ask you and others, is it apparent/open that you are transgender to your employer and coworkers? (I apologize for such a dopey question but I'm seriously in...

  24. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I have 16 and 22 yr old sons. One discussion wouldn't have had that much effect on anything inherently teenaged boy, you'll wish that's all it'll take :-) It's much more of a journey. But they are...

  25. Sex-ed

    Libby1987 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    This surprises me coming from your perspective of a school nurse/educator, not the encouraging part but the seemingly idealistic part. My daughter, mainstream average and above average group of...
