    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    Kooky Korky replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    You should report the parents of asthmatic kids who force smoke on those kids to Child Protective Services. That is abuse. As for those who can't yet help themselves or their family members by...

    Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

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