  1. Received a strange email from a hiring manager... Please Help

    Libby1987 replied to Ebussman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's what I was thinking as well. She's clarifying that it hasn't been a month. Partly reassurance, partly defense.

  2. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Op, based on this and other posts of yours, at minimum I think you are a passenger in your own life, with some sort of distorted perception of the experience of

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, have approximately 20 yrs in my speciality, though different positions over the years, and I still want to be a part of

  5. IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    Libby1987 replied to missjune's topic in Patient Medications

    I completely misspoke re the method (again with pre coffee posting), Vanco is commonly supplied in an elastomeric device via PICC but nonetheless administered by laypersons who do not nor are...

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone tell me what you've experienced, or know of, re the amount and type of assistance provided and for what distance? Including both nursing and non nursing

  9. IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    Libby1987 replied to missjune's topic in Patient Medications

    Home infusion pharmacy protocols do not instruct aspiration of blood prior to IVP of vesicants through a PICC, Vanco being very commonly administered IVP by lay persons. Are there changed policies for...

  10. Requiring paperwork after I left

    Libby1987 replied to ErnBlz's topic in Home Health

    I'm not going to speak to whether or not you should change your documentation but you can't access medical records after separation, HIPAA

  11. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Libby1987 replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  12. Dealing with a dirty old man

    Libby1987 replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

  13. The Nurse at the Bedside

    Libby1987 replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Ivy League vs Community College ?!

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

    If you have already seriously considered going to a pricy Ivy league, why wouldn't you go directly for a BSN? I get saving money, which you would with a less prestigious 4 yr, but I don't understand...

  15. California marijuana legalization

    Libby1987 replied to Elky's topic in General Nursing

    To both poster quoted and everyone else directing criticism to the employers.. This is the society we live in, one full of hypocrisy. When the majority of society decides marijuana use is acceptable...

  16. Doing follow up visits with no clear orders?

    Libby1987 replied to peaceriver's topic in Home Health

    Your question reflects either a lack of minimal orientation, or a lack of minimal absorption. I don't think you have enough of a basis to be on your own and should still be with a preceptor, or at...

  17. California marijuana legalization

    Libby1987 replied to Elky's topic in General Nursing

    You must not be a nurse in

  18. Home Health In California as a travel nurse

    Libby1987 replied to Leah1991's topic in Travel

    Traffic patterns and behaviors vary greatly, you will want to assimilate, and practice. Bay Area and LA can seem aggressive while rural drivers can seem inconsiderate when there's no room to pass....

  19. Would you expose yourself to C-Diff?

    Libby1987 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  22. Management opportunity...stay put or get experience?

    Libby1987 replied to angiebfnp18's topic in Nurse Management

    Your eligibility/marketability as a clinical manager will not go away in the next couple of years. However you can crash and burn in one or both by taking on two major challenges as once. This is...

  23. How do nurses last?

    Libby1987 replied to KariT's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to oscarpleco's topic in General Nursing
