    This one will take care of itself. Once you have your baby you will know with clarity whether the having a great job will be worth working FT or

  2. Quit great job to stay home with baby?

    Libby1987 replied to Sangrita RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I wouldn't work FT out of fear of not finding work if I could afford to cut back to part time. Call me naive but I think experienced nurses that truly love their jobs, and are good at them, find a way...

  3. "Public" Perceptions Changing?

    Libby1987 replied to guest449786's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm not offended but I didn't think it was funny. There's so much more that they could have done with over the top nurse satire that we could have really identified with. They could have gone with...

  4. "I don't want to die"

    Libby1987 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That had to be rough. I don't think giving a patient meaningful reassurance during a crisis is the same as giving false hope re prognosis. I think telling her, "we got you, we're going to take care...

  5. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

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

    Sick, unwell and weak over a sprained ankle. A grown man. Needing compassion. From the nurse, who is is acting like his

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

    There is a weird sexist/sexual vibe going on here. Am I the only one picking that

  7. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    Libby1987 replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand how it even got a rise out of anybody, except I feel sorry for someone so miserable. Makes me count my blessings to have happy kids and be happy/content depending on the day

    Libby1987 replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. I quit my Home Health Nursing job!

    Libby1987 replied to pcbnurse's topic in Home Health

    You won't be able to do it at first, you have to learn the job pretty much inside out, but I just took a mid week mid morning riding lesson last week because that's when my trainer was available, I...

  12. Easy/Difficult NP jobs

    Libby1987 replied to Fnpatlast's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would take the hard job because I would not be interested in one time wellness checks day after day, and the 3 hour commute would burn me out before the difficult job. I'd initially use that 3 hrs...

  13. HELP! I can't decide where to work?!

    Libby1987 replied to almostthere1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You sound like someone who will like different experiences in your future career and the OR will not prepare you at all for HH or Hospice. Home Health has been a great career for me but there is just...

  14. New job updates?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in Home Health

    There is so much to learn these days, and on top of that newer nurses aren't getting that acute care head start and need plain ole nursing experience as well. It wasn't like this when I started, it...

  17. Causes of losing your license?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thank you for the responses. How about lawsuits? I know some investigations go to court (I haven't known anyone myself), what are the outcomes for nurses there? I've seen some medical cases I thought...

  18. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Public education has risen about the same rate as nursing wages in California, except now we have much lower mortgage rates. Northern California CSU 4 yrs tuition approx $7,200 in the 80's and...

  19. As a single nurse were you able to buy a home?

    Libby1987 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    OP, are you still a student? New RN? Based on the quantity of dissatisfaction I read about on here, I would make sure you like your job situation before committing to a mortgage. Nothing is worse...

  20. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about anywhere else but IF California actually needed more nurses, ASNs and BSNs continue to be offered at affordable rates, especially considering California's nurses broke the 100K...

  21. I'm in a Quandary

    Libby1987 replied to Hooligan's topic in General Nursing

    Right yes, that's what I meant, at least one of them since there's doesn't seem to be any with her current job. I have a great job but even it's missing one of those, I'm sure I will have to give up...

  22. I'm in a Quandary

    Libby1987 replied to Hooligan's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to elimayrn's topic in Home Health

    I know youve been looking for estimations and I'm not from the area but one thing you can do, if you know the average base RN hourly rate for your level of experience, multiply that times 1.5 and that...
