  1. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Libby1987 replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wonder how common is this

  2. Feeling super stressed about newer vna job...

    Libby1987 replied to Oliver1234's topic in Home Health

    A weekend with 3 admits and 2 revisits within your first month? Our new nurses (new to home health) would be doing their first admit at 4 weeks, and have several hours to complete

  3. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Libby1987 replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    Starbucks on every corner selling addictive high sugar caffeinated drinks that pull people in at least daily. I literally used to drink 2-3 macchiatos every day, I got so hooked on them with the combo...

  4. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Libby1987 replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    I don't think it's strictly a matter of choice. Of course they could have chosen to eat and exercise differently but I don't think it's simple for everyone. One thing I believe is that our food...

  5. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Libby1987 replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP: Klone can certainly speak for herself but I think it was the nonsensical hyperbole by

  6. What is your nursing "joy?"

    Libby1987 replied to jamisaurus's topic in Nurses Rock

    This will sound really weird but for those of you who know horses, that moment when they let out a deep sigh and lick their lips? The human equivalent of easing anxiety, over anything... but without...

  7. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Libby1987 replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think she's alluding to OP's second post, where apparently being from NJ does have something to do with

  8. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Libby1987 replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't feel guilty but I have to be very symptomatic, which fortunately is rare, before I'll leave my coworkers and wonderful director scrambling to cover me. Not guilty but not indifferent

  9. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Libby1987 replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    This is only remotely related to childhood obesity but based on the demographics and stats of our nursing staff, education, means, time, safety, climate, access to fresh produce and healthcare aren't...

  10. Documentation, Time Management, Help!!!

    Libby1987 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Home Health

    I average 6 *visits*. That can be 4 revisits and 1 admit or some other rough mix that averages out at 6/day. I chart both POS and offsite, it depends on how I've scheduled the patients and what else...

  11. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Libby1987 replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    They're not essential despite being touted as. But they are a cheaper form of high energy food for the masses and high energy

  12. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Libby1987 replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    OP has been chastised and schooled enough I think. Heres what else I think, or would hope to see. These patients with end stage diseases that are frequent fliers, we get them, they go to a f/u with...

  13. Anxiety creeping in - what gives?

    Libby1987 replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, the contrasting vents ranging from no time to pee to coworkers spending excessive time playing on their phones is making it hard to know what to believe. Are posters exaggerating? Nurses on...

  14. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    Libby1987 replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    I think govt education should just come out and call highly processed food garbage and eaten regularly contributes to IR, diabetes and heart disease. They can sell it but we can call it like it is....

  16. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think before they go after disabled or dead defaulters, the lending practices need to be regulated. Are the high schools warning about this, really explaining the irreversible possibilities? I'm...

  17. Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    Libby1987 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know the old days but modern day, where are the essential patient care skills being taught and confirmed? ie Sterile technique Clean technique Foley care and insertion Patient teaching IV...

  18. Anxiety creeping in - what gives?

    Libby1987 replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like it is like the news here as well but nursing has been very good to me, I enjoy it, I really like the work, I make a nice living, and my admin treats me well. We're not all wired the same...

  19. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    Good conscience? Your ancestors? Good grief. You weren't being sarcastic as you tried to back pedal, it was righteousness, you could've just owned it. Though I think it's weak to use someone for your...

  20. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    I don't want to take anyone's voter rights, my un-ignorable comment had nothing to do with actually banning but you all can make it to be something to take issue with. I sure wouldn't defend...

  21. Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Do refresher courses cover procedures? And what a marketing opportunity for schools to offer guaranteed practice, they could hire college kids to play

  22. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I wouldn't be behind a 6K BSN. I wouldn't be behind supporting any more ASNs or BSN's in California as it is, we don't need more here and it's not remotely close to a priority. And more...

  23. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps if money was shuffled but we just went up to 35 kids in K-3, things are

  24. About paying off student loans

    Libby1987 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    We did have it good but I still consider 29K these days pretty good ROI (if you can get a job, if you borrow in a poor job market, that was a poor decision). California just doesn't have the money to...

  25. Exhausted Med-Surg Nurse

    Libby1987 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Medical-Surgical

    We have travelers in our home health agency. One has an RV and goes from one cool place to another, we're a semi rural destination and a neat place to explore. And with home health you really get to...
