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

    I don't think we had any aides in ICU back then. This was a long time ago, but that's my best recollection. Otherwise, that would have been a great idea. OP was new, seemed shocked by the 3-11...

    Kooky Korky replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How about those of you with doctorates? Shouldn't you be called Doctor? You have earned it. Every other professional with an EdD or PhD or whatever doctorate is called Doctor. Except Pharm D's and...

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

    I didn't know anyone had asked why I brought it up. Must have missed that. I sometimes think of things from the past, maybe because I am retiring soon and must be reviewing my life. Also, I see on...

    I was asking for opinions because the answer was unclear to me. There's been no picking apart of anyone. You might not have carefully read the OP. If you did, my apology for thinking otherwise. This...

    Zika

    Does anyone have information about: Is there risk to future babies if a non-pregnant woman is exposed to Zika? Say she recovers without incident and becomes pregnant in a few years. My friends are...

    Remember School Nurse perks - no weekends, all holidays off, long Summer break, home with your own kids in the evenings, not too much blood. Sure, like any job, there are drawback. But keep those...

    You might not see it in other sectors, but it probably does happen sometimes, so don't be too discouraged. One job I had, no matter how close to the end of the shift a patient arrived, even if we were...

    I think the oncoming nurse had a habit of running to the boss about stuff like this. She likely would have done that in this case and the 7-3 nurse would have been hit with it by the boss next day....
