  1. Who works 40 hours??

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    SAHM = Stay At Home

  2. Who works 40 hours??

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    I've worked both more and less in my FT HH job, it's as doable as any FT job if not more because of the flex time. Often a few of those hours are sitting in my car making calls and charting waiting...

  3. Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Something in the same vein that I see is a rejection of a lone dissenter (or a few in the minority) that don't follow the popular viewpoint. Unless the opposing view is completely outrageous there can...

  4. Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    Libby1987 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is me. I've usually pretty thought out and analyzed before I post (I haven't asked for personal feedback here but have on other boards) and anyone in real life usually validates me when what I'm...

  5. CNA impersonating RN

  6. I don't mean to complain..

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you

  7. CNA impersonating RN

    Libby1987 replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    What do you all think is going on here? (Besides 3rd hand conversation with a lay person) Do you think this small town's school district is so wealthy that they have an on site RN position at this...

  8. CNA impersonating RN

    Libby1987 replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't make an unsubstantiated report to the BON based on a 3rd party conversation. Especially when I could simply confirm if my friend was working at a public school with a name tag that says RN...

  9. CNA impersonating RN

    Libby1987 replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    OP hasn't confirmed whether the CNA is actually impersonating an

  10. CNA impersonating RN

    Libby1987 replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    That small of a town I'm sure there are plenty of parents on site that would recognize or question if she's an RN if she was truly impersonating one. I don't see any moral obligation from your 3rd...

  11. I don't mean to complain..

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Additional forms of assistance would make nursing a better and safer experience, but unless OP's coworker's also hate their job and nursing, I'm assuming the issue is an internal one. Which is okay,...

  12. CNAs & Home Health

    Libby1987 replied to RubicsCube's topic in Home Health

    You are right. I was referring to our Home Health Aides who work on our home health

  13. I don't mean to complain..

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Would adding an aide be enough to reverse hating nursing? One can incorporate grabbing a blanket going into each room and adjusting pillows while asking a patient how they're feeling, I don't think...

  14. Nurse Clueless

    Libby1987 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    And yet so many are encouraging such a poster not to lie. Why? I say let them rightly lose their nursing license. I don't get providing advice to such types to keep them in the profession. Not that...

  15. CNAs & Home Health

    Libby1987 replied to RubicsCube's topic in Home Health

    With ours, private duty are paid hourly, home health are paid per

  16. Any DPCS/DONs that do case management?

    Libby1987 replied to Gingilly's topic in Home Health

    Never like that. Once with a new start up before there were enough patients to hire nursing staff (back when HH agencies were popping up everywhere). And my Director has occasionally managed a patient...

  17. Home Health Rapes

    Libby1987 replied to RubicsCube's topic in Home Health

    Got the shirt ^^^ I find the question odd. Why rape? What about theft or assault? Never had a threat myself, but I'd be more concerned where I was walking alone to reach the patient than a patient...

  18. New Grad student, need advice, should I switch programs? Problems with advisor already...

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

    I can see how your online communication style would dig you in

  19. So nervous about actually leaving my hospital job

    Libby1987 replied to babynurse73's topic in Home Health

    You'll get more patient time compared to acute care, you can count on that. I read about some of the experiences here and they sound like they're working for crackerjack operations. OTOH, where we...

  20. The thing that has surprised you the most about nursing...

    Libby1987 replied to er.mere's topic in General Nursing

    I was pretty well prepared in nursing school and with the extern program. My surprises came later in my career.. The level of acuity we would later see in the home setting and the changes in the...

  21. How do you sign your name?

    Libby1987 replied to ohiobobcat's topic in General Nursing

    I used to do a very ledgible Libby 1987 RN. Now I do first and last initial followed by illedgible remaining last name L1~~~~RN One of my first employers required the former but after seeing for...

  22. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Libby1987 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    We are a bunch of health science majors, who really thought that *proper* technique would mean that you could lift anything or with any repetition without acute or long term damage? That would be...

  23. Anxiety rated on a 0-10 scale is what test?

    Libby1987 replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Nursing

    When my patients struggle with the scales, I'll simple it down to mild/medium/severe and then I'll ask them if I need to intervene. Whether they say yes or no lets me know if they fall below or above...

  24. Concerns, asked to resign, etc.

    Libby1987 replied to LostKitten's topic in General Nursing

    This statement bothers me in a couple of ways. It's a shame that someone who really wants to be a nurse and to perform with excellence has few options these days but to get thrown into shorter...

  25. What are my rights against those who eat their young?

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

    Are you a relatively new nurse and/or have a lack of confidence? I'd probably do it anyway but especially if I were willing to not take shifts, or even quit, I'd have to at least tell them to SFTU a...
