    Nursing Dose

    Kooky Korky replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    True. But how many of you actually watch a colleague do the actual wasting? A lot of nurses seem to think it's insulting to truly watch their peer really waste something. They just sign that they did,...

    I hope you stood up for yourself and explained that Nurse Susie actually was the one who didn't rehook the G tube, etc. Or did you just let yourself be blamed? Stop crying over how hard you've had it...

    Kooky Korky replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Not saying she was right to kill, but words can severely wound, especially if repeated day after day. As for should she be a nurse, well, I guess that's a toss-up. I lean toward

    Kooky Korky replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    Try to invent the device you are envisioning. Make lots of money from the invention and you won't have to worry about the rudenes here, which I agree with you is present in some

    Possible lawsuit from a new grad I was only trying to help

    Kooky Korky replied to marmolejo619's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why not countersue? Just kidding - you need a lawyer immediately if you are really been sued. Do what the lawyer says to do, not your nursing peers here. We are not lawyers. You've gotten good...

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

    I understand why we are such cowards, but it is still disturbing to read all of the cowardice. Which is why Nursing will always be the way it is. We just lack courage, we wait for someone else to do...

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

    I vehemently cannot concur. OP's priority is not to leave an ambulance available for someone else, she should not be taking her crash victim son to a drug store or wherever for a quick check-up, or...

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

    I don't think it was reasonable to ask the mother and wife of crash victims to make that decision, despite APPARENT appearances. And it was EMT who asked her, not police, wasn't it? I have seen 911...

    I hope you have an attorney and go after the hospital, the doctors, your managers, etc. None of them gave a hoot about your safety and well-being. They need to learn respect for you and for staff in...

    On a job I once had, I was always getting off late, I never got a break or lunch. Other nurses got off on time and took all of their breaks. I really started wondering if I was really that much...

    If you report it, you might get a reward. These folks are committing grand larceny, defrauding Fed gov, something like that. I believe there are rewards for whistleblowers. That would include the...

    Turn a deaf ear to such sillyness. Keep studying, don't flaunt your knowledge, keep working hard. There will always be someone jealous, someone eager to rain on your parade in life. There are so...
