  3. How do I help others after a loved one's suicide?

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I don't agree with the being there for the family. There are other ways to be there for loved ones. Funerals are overrated and a way to show respect to someone who has died. I can not respect...

  10. Know nothing about Nursing, but interested!

    kukukajoo replied to maddfaiz92's topic in General Nursing

  11. Smoking And Nurses

    kukukajoo replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    Chantix gave me the worst GI issues I have ever had. It has also been linked to suicidal thinking and risk recently. Not to mention the weird dreams that many people have- almost psychotic. This...

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it was implying that the blacks were too poor to afford anything good for them like a glass of juice! Horrid generalization if you ask me! Tell me, in Scotland you must see a fiar share of...

    kukukajoo replied to OncNewbie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think the OP says that although the other nurse that reamed her thought the pt had po meds, it had not yet been switched from IV to PO and she was actually jumping the gun with the ream out. The...

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    There is at least one former doctor that I know of in the Bosnian group. He does not practice here (I placed him at the factory, which thrilled him just that he was working!). You see, in war torn...

    Rate of pay sounds low. Keep in mind: 1. Overtime is based on your base pay only. 2. Social Security is based on your base pay only. Less you make, less you qualify for when you retire or become...

  21. Smoking And Nurses

    kukukajoo replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    The numbers of people smoking is going down. There should be more done to deter people from starting it up in the first place. It is a terrible addiction and I am sure you can ask almost any smoker...
