    Is adequate rest the most important factor in enjoying night shift?

    Kooky Korky replied to Hmfog's topic in General Nursing

    Sleeping enough is vital, but I think attitude is also very important. I worked Nights for several years and grew to love the relative peace, compared to Days or 3-11. A totally black bedroom -...

    New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    Kooky Korky replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It seemed like you and Libby were implying evil about her. Thanks for finally clearly stating what you meant. Given your schooling patient population background, it seems you WERE implying bad stuff...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Cost can be a problem for some people. Ordering out gets costly. It is just plain stealing to take someone else's food. If you work Nights, good luck in some facilities finding somewhere to easily...

    New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    Kooky Korky replied to DarknTwistyERRN's topic in Emergency

    Some jobs don't provide pens - or they are well-hidden. Some of the stuff OP wants ready access to include her tampons, her reference material - things the job doesn't necessarily

    New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    Kooky Korky replied to DarknTwistyERRN's topic in Emergency

    OP, have you presented your concerns to your boss? Can you put your stuff in a binder or on a clipboard? Ask where you are supposed to keep tampons, specifically. These rules don't usually last too...

    Intimidated

    Kooky Korky replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    That is seriously messed up. Matthew, there probably aren't as many jobs for LPN's as there are for RN's. Be sure to explore the job market where you want to work before investing much time and money...

    Intimidated

    Kooky Korky replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a seriously high failure rate. Is the school fully accredited? Are the teachers good at teaching? Are the students properly chosen for admission? How many students work and/or...

    Intimidated

    Kooky Korky replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are applying at the same school and/or you are wanting to transfer in some credits you did earn at the Rad school, the RN school might not even have to know about Rad school. I do think you...

    Kooky Korky replied to deefizzle's topic in General Nursing

    Please tell me she got a lawyer after this educated-for-years doctor and reported him to the licensing Board. Not only did his attitude stink, but his technique. Your friend needs a new doctor and...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It was Nights' job to clean the frij each week. We did it on Saturday, put up notices that it would be done on Thursday and Friday. That gave everyone notice to either label their food (dressings,...

    Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    Kooky Korky replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    Inferior in the sense that the CNA is not a peer or superior, not that she is a horrible person. And isn't it ridiculous that there aren't enough computers for everyone to be able to chart without...

    We don't really know what he knew. Maybe the cancer or its treatments have him unable to budget. Or maybe he's just a bad bookkeeper. But we really don't know what he

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    He's in jail. Most, if not all, states, counties, localities, and federal prisons must provide medical care to inmates. What quality and to what extent he'll get it we don't

    Judge Sends Man to Prison Because He Can't Pay Hospital Bill

    Kooky Korky replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Nursing News

    Not excusing him, but it is notoriously hard to get disability. And it often takes months or years. I think it might help if every single patient who is diagnosed with a very serious illness were...
