  1. Is the BSN worth it?

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If either choice was feasible, I wouldn't base my decision on what's required in today's market but by projected requirements (so basically speculation) upon graduation which be minimum 4 years

  2. The Official I Hate School Thread

    Libby1987 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    You had me at summery vodka

  3. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Well yes and no. A point was being made about not really knowing who's working among us. I don't have any interesting personal examples but it's true that outward appearances and personas don't mean...

  4. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I offended but I consider diverters to not be upstanding citizens let alone nurse citizens. That obviously doesn't include everyone with addictions and I inaccurately tied it in when you...

  5. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't mean to be offensive but how is it? I've never posted a negative thing about my coworkers but read endless posts of accusations. It just seems to add up to a lot of negative categorizing of...

  6. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Way off tangent, but I remember being the immature flirty girl and witnessing two nursing students sleep with married men, one had a wife who was nearing delivery and the other a special needs child...

  7. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    So very unreassuring. I suppose the most narcissistic and sociopathic are the best at slipping thru the

  8. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    How many perpetrators of heinous crimes do you think work among

  9. Liking members at AN

    Libby1987 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Agree.

  10. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I think heinous crimes shouldn't be cleared to practice. No admittance. Morality is another thing and subjective, crime

  11. Home Health offer fair??

    Libby1987 replied to Sirene77's topic in Home Health

    Agree. We have had one successful new grad but she was under a year of orientation, a solid month of shadowing then close supervison and support. She was/is particularly sharp, bold and high energy. 4...

  12. Hate Home health job

    Libby1987 replied to sistasoul's topic in Home Health

    Affordable part of Northern California. Standard wage for the area/level of experience. The hours vary but average out to

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Practically speaking probably, but that doesn't mean that I'd want to abandon

  14. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Theoretically speaking, I'm not so much afraid of her harming anyone on the job, and it's true that we work with POS's who fly under the radar, but for me it's the principle of any public service job...

  15. Sinking ships/cycles of crappy work environments

    Libby1987 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a matter of smart and dumb. Courage or feasibility maybe. This has been a transitional period, first the recession and now the ACA (with some excuses layered on), I don't think a lot of...

  16. Not Cut Out to Be a Nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that I used to be like this, I left acute care so long ago I don't know how I'd perform if I'd stayed, but one of the things I like about home health is the time to muddle through...

  17. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    10% of nurses are addicts? Add in other vices ie chronic tardiness, catty, bullies..what's the percentage of upstanding solid

  18. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that's the *honorable* way of stealing

  19. Accountant want to be a Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to Calichick27's topic in Nursing Career

    Learning about nursing and health science in general has nothing to do with the working conditions of a nurse. You really need to learn what a week of shifts is all about before embarking on a...

  20. Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Libby1987 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Geeze, I'm so

  21. Starting HH next week.

    Libby1987 replied to WellDaRN's topic in Home Health

    HH companies differ, if you only gain skills at this one to take to a better fit, it will be worth it. You will unexpectedly come across courageous people, keep your radar on for them, they're...

  23. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Libby1987 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Nice loaded question. Can't go back and change presidencies but a modern day human trafficker should neither be allowed into nursing nor into law making positions. I'm pretty firm on that,

  24. Not Cut Out to Be a Nurse?

    Libby1987 replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager has a different perspective, she's looking at you as a good employee who shows up on time, completes your work etc. The providers are looking at your clinical performance. It sounds like...

  25. How flexibile are you with patients in HH

    Libby1987 replied to amillion3147's topic in Home Health

    It's not about being nice, or not nice. Don't think of yourself of having to stop being "too nice", look at it as being realistic in order to meet all of your patients' needs and not over extend...
