    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Kooky Korky replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP was only asking a question. I didn't perceive any hostility or haughtiness in her question. I, as usual, don't understand why some of you here, as happens a lot, have bitten her head off just for...

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

    Heron, are you replying to my post? I guess you are because you mentioned Ivy League. If you are not, then please disregard the following. I didn't say AA was bad in the IL. I didn't mention...

    I apologize for causing you sadness and anger, Nurse Leigh. If it helps, please know that I am also sad that this topic, as usual, has caused so much upset. We can't seem to discuss race, abortion,...

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

    Yes, you're clear. But what good will violence against them do? In the big picture? In the short run even? Violence is best left as a last resort - unless your life and limb or those of your loved...

    The thread wasn't derailed, IMO. We are all just sharing our thoughts and experiences. I don't know how old your children are, or if you hope to get them into Ivy League schools and into associated...

    Least stressful nursing specialty

    Kooky Korky replied to Svkd's topic in General Nursing

    Not so, I think. Life itself is filled with plenty of stress. How would you like to have to watch a coworker pee in a cup like Nurse Zoey?

    Kooky Korky replied to missmaddie's topic in General Nursing

    No. Try to never burn a bridge. You might need a reference, a job with them again, or your paths could cross some other kind of way. You just never know. You could tell them you'll work 1 day every...
