    Kooky Korky replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    Kooky Korky replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    It kind of makes you wonder if it was really a mistake or some sicko need on her part to be seen in her undies by you and other kids. These damned teachers are awful. They show stupidity and...

    Kooky Korky replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for doing it when you had to, SBE. It is definitely not easy for most of us. Unfortunately it just has to be done. I hope OP will find her courage, notify the House Sup when she finds...

    Kooky Korky replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    I recall that case. I thought then, and still do, that she ought to pray on her breaks. If I remember correctly, she was sitting on the hallway, visible to all, with her eyes closed, maybe even...

    Kooky Korky replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure she won't come in to work if she doesn't get the floor she wants? Can she afford to not work? The more you back down, the more she will push you around but you need to not get...
