  2. Home HealthCNA

    Libby1987 replied to CRM312950's topic in General Nursing

  5. VENT WARNING Nights: Just Need encouragement I guess

    Libby1987 replied to WalkingDead1's topic in General Nursing

    If I loved my job (that's huge) then I would dedicate myself to becoming something special and taking care of myself. I would embrace night cycle (or fake it), I would join a 24 hr gym, eat the best...

    Libby1987 replied to juana15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, of course. I failed to read the P&P prior to hanging blood. No harm done thank heavens but it was pivotal and I grew into a detailed oriented focused nurse, I don't know how but I learned how...

  9. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Libby1987 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

  13. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Libby1987 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hopeless about it. Our nurse population does not want to make it more difficult to obtain a degree or licensing, a majority still thinks a 2 year degree is enough and the rest is fluff. And then...

  14. Gentiva job offer, but lots of bad reviews from nurses. What do I do?

    Libby1987 replied to midnightrose8504's topic in Home Health

    Your question re the 40-45 patients/week, wouldn't be possible to sustain (at least not M-F) where I work. We don't have any ALFA that would keep one nurse that busy. I don't know what they call a...

  19. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    I don't think she's a peach by any means. But I don't know if she's decrepit or what her work options would be. Most here would report her to her school or employer but I wouldn't, not based on what I...

  21. Nursing Specialties with a Slower Pace and Less Patient/Family Interaction

    Libby1987 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't there a difference in pace and acuity between acute and out patient centers? I've gotten the impression that our local out patient clinics don't resemble inpatient

  22. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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