  1. Causes of losing your license?

    Libby1987 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

  5. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Libby1987 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Libby1987 replied to Jm0136's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Stock and housing market gullibility. That is such a great analogy. Especially with thread after thread claiming ignorance to the NP education and market trends. I haven't applied for NP and I've read...

  17. Quitting a job that a long time nurse friend basically got me

    Libby1987 replied to BettyBoopsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I read your post as a pretty transparent admission to letting your friend down with self awareness that you have a pattern of inability to sustain any longevity. And I think you're needing to both put...

    Libby1987 replied to abnormal_saline's topic in General Nursing

  22. Home health rn, does this sound right?

    Libby1987 replied to ZandZmommyRN's topic in Home Health

    This is the challenge working for a little start up, or one that never builds a referral base. Really, only experienced home health nurses should be part establishing a new agency because the hours...
