    I hate nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing

    Your screen name is so apropos, SL. Why do you always have to be hateful? For OP - it sounds like you need some counseling for the PTSD. Also, may I suggest you involve Law Enforcement and an...

    I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    Kooky Korky replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about, "Gee, Dr. Butthead, you seem enraged. How about an enema?" LOL The surgeon was totally out of line. If he wanted Bipap, he should have ordered Bipap, not gotten the nurse involved in...

    Kooky Korky replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Had you been there long enough to have a pension? Seniority? People can't just up and leave every time the going gets rough. Doing so might have been the right thing for you, but some people would...

    AIDS "Patient Zero" exonerated

    Kooky Korky replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in General Nursing

    It just goes to show - we can't believe everything we hear. It's outrageous that this kind of stuff (misunderstandings, misinterpretations) can ruin lives and

    Union gave away random drug testing

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It is not acceptable to have any Dilaudid unaccounted for. It's just not. As for the giving more pain meds than anyone else - did they look at his patients compared to the patients the other nurses...

    Jobs in nursing in social justice

    Kooky Korky replied to michaelaellie's topic in General Nursing

    I think VISTA and maybe Peace Corps are still around, maybe other groups sponsored by US government. Head Start or the group/agency that provides job training to older teens; Job Corps, I think. Or...

    First Angry Call

    Kooky Korky replied to FreckledCoffeeRN's topic in School

    As she said - the parent might have been badly traumatized and is overly anxious/has PTSD as a result. Don't you see how that is possible? Not saying she made an incorrect Dx or treated...

    Can a scrub do that?!

    On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Largely unfounded? But some allegations are true? Correct these at once. Look for other work, don't just wait to be fired. Yes, you could collect Unemployment but might have to give it back if the...

    Being Pulled into the Office for calling CAT

    Kooky Korky replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    D and D are not always welcome by some people here. Sharing, views, opinions, judgments, experiences - same thing. OP - you did the right thing. Do not feel obligated to go in on your day off ever...

    Whistle blower/terminated

    Kooky Korky replied to CaliGena's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is probably true but not necessarily. Did you have to give the lawyer any money up front or does the lawyer get paid only upon winning the case? Did they at least pay for you to fly back there...

    Would you report this error?

    Kooky Korky replied to caffeinatednurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I wonder why Pharmacy didn't catch the error on the Count Sheet. So where do things stand now, OP? As already stated, if a narcotic situation is in errors, stop the Count, notify the Supervisor...

    interviewer asked about religion - what would you say?

    Kooky Korky replied to ceccia's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have worked in a couple of Catholic facilities, have never been asked my religion. I have been asked if I had children and who took care of them, whether I had reliable transportation, whether I...

    Horrible Professor

    Kooky Korky replied to GRB199108's topic in School, College Programs

    What action are you going to take? I am taking a class. The Instructor is tremendously knowledgeable, but he can't teach worth a darn. We students are beginners in this topic and he has 35+ years...

    what's wrong with this patient?

    Kooky Korky replied to RenKenn72's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Asked to Move to Another Floor?

    Kooky Korky replied to aurora119's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like they are either too busy themselves or rude, selfish, and unfriendly. Maybe they feel like they're not getting paid to teach, so why should they? Or maybe they are malicious dogs who...

    Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?

    Kooky Korky replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    The child is a child and thinks like a child, I think, if I'm understanding correctly. The short answer is that she should leave in order to stay alive and stop getting hurt. And keep the child safe....
