    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    It is over the top and crazy. I know she doesn't mean it literally, she is speaking from her pain. I wish she didn't have the pain, I know from her post she's been deeply hurt. Jen (from other post)...

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby, I have indeed taught my sons to respect women and all people. Re-read my post. They are well aware that sex belongs in marriage and needs to be consensual at all times, and that sex is...

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    If I said that men get a pass, that is not what I meant. I don't think I said it, but if I did, it is wrong and not what I meant. Men need to be gentlemen and need to treat with women with the utmost...

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    What you say is true except for concluding that I think women "ask for it". And my ideas may very well be mainstream, we just have the media bombarding us with the really strange and wrong idea that...

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, double standard and old-fashioned, as stated in my first post. I still believe there'd have been no Stanford Rape if the young woman had not drunk excessively and gone off alone to a bedroom...

    What's so great about OR?

    Kooky Korky replied to lelms's topic in Operating Room

    If you don't especially like dealing with relatives and awake patients, the OR is great. There's plenty to learn and keep you busy your first year, at least. In a large hospital with many...

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

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseAngela05's topic in Camp

    It can work when you don't have a lot of kids getting meds. But, try though we did, we still had plenty of kids at every meal all summer who had not mastered the simple skill of getting their meds in...

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    What would be wrong about women being modest? Circumspect? Sensible? Regulating their alcohol intake? Not getting rip roaring wasted with drugs or ETOH? Can people always have our cake and eat...

    Stanford Rape

    Mom is an OR nurse, specializing in Gyn surgery. She writes well enough to have made the judge forget the plight of the victim. The judge should be removed from the

    Stanford Rape

    Kooky Korky replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    No, her behavior should not mitigate his sentence, but, old-fashioned, I do think girls and women should try to be more circumspect. The world is full of men who have no respect for women, who do...

    HIPAA and Demanding Family Members

    Kooky Korky replied to Taiin's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I went to the first page you referenced. it does have a lot of info, but I did not see where it specifically says we can tell callers WHERE a pt has gone, only that he HAS left. Did I miss it?...

    Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Kooky Korky replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What other methods do you suggest for the general public to use? I guess people can try to find out from licensing boards and accreditation bodies. What others do you use? I have learned in life...

    Going to be fired?

    Kooky Korky replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While this is true, it seems so wrong to not punish those who make nurses work at breakneck speed and want to say that nurses, even relatively inexperienced ones like OP, who had only 2 weeks...

    Abuse?.?!? Help!

    Kooky Korky replied to mrs.hood's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It seems like some facts have been left out. Many people say things like this. Is it smart to say? I guess not. How often do staff actually hit patients? To my knowledge, almost never. I do...

    Possible attendance write-up

    Kooky Korky replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry about all the sickness, bad closing, etc. However, what if your MIL and BIL lived out of state or too far away for you to be reasonably expected to help her? You would not have called off....

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

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

    If you are not comfortable with this, do you have to work there? Is this policy in writing anywhere? Has it always been like this? Can you at least leave the exam room doors

    Lapsed license - advice?

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

    I don't recall any employer ever reminding me to renew the license that fed my family and kept the wolf away from our door. I know that I renew 2 months before my license expires, every two

    Lapsed license - advice?

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

    I believe most states say that they are not required to send you a renewal notice. It's the licensee's responsibility to keep his or her license

    Is this discrimination?

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

    Sounds like character defamation or slander. I'm not a lawyer, so check with a couple of lawyers on your own. Maybe you, your boss, and this family member need to sit down together and hash it out....

    Kooky Korky replied to sarabellum1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Brush up your resume. You will likely be fired. As someone else suggested, go to the regulatory agencies. They can light a fire under your reluctant bosses. Best for you if your coworkers band...
