    Narcotic Count Sheet

    Kooky Korky replied to LunaTunaPineapple's topic in Patient Medications

    You must sign out the med every time you give it. The count of the actual number of pills in the bottle must match what is written on the narc count sheet. The offgoing nurse cannot leave until the...

    1st time as camp nurse and have a few questions.

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseAngela05's topic in Camp

    At the camps I worked, the Directors wanted to be kept abreast of serious things - lacerations, fractures, seizures, appendicitis, hemorrhage, violence, and the like - but not more routine matters...

    1st time as camp nurse and have a few questions.

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseAngela05's topic in Camp

    This works well if kids are responsible or maybe the med is only once a day or counselors are particularly good at helping. And if camp is only a few kids. When meds/treatments are several times per...

    How to File a Complaint against BON

    Kooky Korky replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He did indeed help me get renewed on time. I didn't ask for anyone to be fired, although a reprimand and corrective action were definitely in order for what had to be the workers' intentional...

    Because she is not Chicken Little and because they should not be rude. They are paid to do a job, never to be rude. They are servants, nor royalty. Would you be allowed to be rude at your job?...

    How do you deal with Doctors that insult nurses?

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

    "Work with me, Doc, Let's stay out of Court". I guess when you're new, it's natural to be scared and take to heart all the trash your coworkers tell you. But try to be calm, be prepared as others...

    How old is too old to become a new RN?

    Kooky Korky replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes jobs are advertised or openings exist, but there is no plan to actually hire people to fill them. Or some jobs are reserved for only current employees to take. I don't know that you are too...

    What is with this angry nurse?

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

    I was thinking Praise The Lord - to help her stay calm, LOL. Then I recalled, from way down deep in my old brain, Pre-Term Labor. OP, I understand how someone's rudeness would upset you. Next time,...

    What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    Kooky Korky replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    OP, does your Mom need referrals for specialists? If not, just have her see the doctors you want her to see, including a Pain Management person. That might be the only way these days to get...

    Comments to make on an Unjust write up?

    Kooky Korky replied to Satsun's topic in General Nursing

    OP, it is possible that others were written up and you just don't know it because personnel issues are private. I never have liked having to be responsible for keeping subordinates in line. On the...

    Is money everything in this profession?

    Kooky Korky replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't say that. She's just questioning life, as people sometimes do. No need to take it as an insult or feel guilty. OP, if Nursing is your religious calling, you'd perhaps have taken a vow of...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Kooky Korky replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    She never said she put meds in her pocket or on her person. She might have left them in the patients' med drawers. I agree that she needs to stop doing what she got flagged
