    Should I leave this racist town?

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

    The next employer will want nothing to do with OP. They'd think "trouble maker". IMHO It's interesting that you don't mention whites as participating in enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Did you...

    Should I leave this racist town?

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

    Everywhere you go, you will find people you like and some you don't. Expect that to be mutual no matter where you are. If you behave in a self-respecting, dignified way and are a competent nurse, if...

    Should I leave this racist town?

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

    Forgive me, Mom To 4, but I think this would not serve OP well. She needs to just be the best nurse and best person she can be. She needs to work on her own shortcomings and get on with her life....

    Breaking contract and its consequences

    Kooky Korky replied to RRRRS808's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You really need to talk to a couple of Employment Law attorneys, OP. We are not lawyers here. Stop commiserating with coworkers about your plans, hopes, and perceived employer wrongs toward you....

    Kooky Korky replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel your pain, OP. So many people dislike their coworkers, bosses, or jobs in general. Here you've got what sounds like a great environment yet the hours are doing you a tremendous disservice. I...

    Paradoxical reaction to Benadryl?

    Kooky Korky replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient Medications

    Please give some examples. Another issue - I'm not sure it's always the med itself that someone is allergic to or reacting badly to. There are so many darned excipients in meds, even in liquids, that...

    Describe your ideal coworker

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

    Some of the finest nurses I know are LPN's. Please don't get caught up re: someone's status. Yes, this particular one sounds catty, but look beyond the title. We are all living the life God has...

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

    Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I found myself yelling out loud at Jackie to not put another pill in her mouth. Some of the stuff she did to pts she didn't like was horrible - yanking out a foley with the balloon still inflated,...

    What do you do when a pt goes into anaphylactic shock?

    Kooky Korky replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    One step at a time, dear heart. You've gotten good info here. I think you'll be a fabulous student and nurse. Codes depend on the facility. Usually (in my experience): Code Blue = cardiac arrest,...

    Ethical dilemma, what would you do?

    Kooky Korky replied to Riburn3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The key issue is survival. I applaud you for not fighting their battle for them, as you had no obligation to do so. They were being wronged? Let them fight for themselves. Nurses or anyone...

    Kooky Korky replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Who comes to clean him? He's got a serious trust issue to say the least. We know, of course, that something is really amiss in this family and that therapy is needed. He could easily end up in...

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

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

    Sounds like you don't really dislike people. Rather, you don't like the overly fast-paced setting of today's hospital or long-term care setting or home care setting. I think your head is screwed on...

    Medical Assistant as school nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to smileitout's topic in School

    The private elementary school my kids attended had no nurse. The school secretary and Principal gave meds, handled emergencies. I didn't think it was right, but it was legal. It troubled me to see...
