    Undocumented Patients

    Kooky Korky replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    We should treat everyone humanely. I have never, ever said or believed otherwise. Do you mean I should drop my views at the door? Is so, which door is that? What are you saying? While being humane,...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Did I bring up abstinence only? What science are you talking about? I didn't mention that either, Mac. I said that Sex Ed should be about anatomy, meaning the structure of females and males. I...

    How not to suck!

    Kooky Korky replied to NP2bman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is very insulting to RN's. Task masters, indeed. Doing as you are told, yes indeedy do. And you are implying that no thinking is involved, no knowledge base is required. ROBOT. May a cow...

    Aged Care Duty of care question

    Kooky Korky replied to Huwscor's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, she will lose her job if she goes above the bosses/owners and she might never again be employable in this field. She should seriously weigh her choices and the consequences of all of those...

    There has to be a way to draw the line with this family. Perhaps he can be made a ward of whoever (other than his family) and he could be taken off the vent a couple of times. After some failures,...

    The Americans who fled - is that necessarily wrong? To get out of flooding? What sort of scams are you talking about by American workers? How did those who rebuilt do that rebuilding? Where did...

    Sick policy vs. reality

    Kooky Korky replied to rquinn0111's topic in General Nursing

    How much PTO do you get each year? One employer I know of gives only 15 days per year. Another gives 20 days. These both make you take vacation, sick time, and holiday time out of your PTO. When...

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    Kooky Korky replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps not intentionally. But they are very much, in my experience, especially those who do LTC, in the business of not answering their

    Order that says "Don't call MD for pain meds"?

    Kooky Korky replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Some who are blacklisted might turn to alcohol. That's not so good either. At a minimum, whether the patient is forced to "tough it out", as I once heard a doc tell a drinker who asked for pain meds,...

    KNEE ROLLER / knee walker

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever used a knee walker or seen patients use one after, for example, foot surgery? What do you think of them for people with knee arthritis or patients who are near the 300 # weight capacity...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The world we live in indeed. I have heard that schools DO get abortions for students without parental permission or even knowledge, even after the fact. Also, with Sex Ed, there is concern that kids...

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read the whole thread, so if someone already brought this up, sorry. But what about women whose labia are sewn together and there is only one opening for both urine and menstruation? Does...

    Kooky Korky replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you assuming this pt is an abuser? Or that the admitting nurse is somehow to blame? And of course benadryl works for everyone to have a good 8 hour sleep. Music????? You are dreaming! You...

    Kooky Korky replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Are we now giving Tylenol instead of MS04 for MI? I would really have to question that study. And I wonder how long Tylenol's pain relief endures for someone with severe pain or even just sub-severe....

    Kooky Korky replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like you are assuming a lot, Heron. This patient has a foot fracture. The pain needs to be assessed and treated properly. And even abusers might be having real pain - the foot is fractured,...
