    Experiencing racism and xenophobia when coming to CA to help with Covid

    Kooky Korky replied to xwill327's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just as you want to say what you want to, so others are free to respond as they want to and to bring up various topics that interest them. Believe it or not, not everyone applauds the lifestyles...

    Polite way to deal with AWOL CNA’s?

    Kooky Korky replied to Beepbeepbeep's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it more than I can express that some of you are recommending OP quit if she can't get this trouble corrected. We are always telling nurses to quit, go somewhere else. Haven't we learned...

    Nurses, Come to work if you are asymptomatic COVID-19 positive

    Kooky Korky replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So many people just don't understand. A couple of teachers I know, educated people who educate others say that they fear contracting the virus in their work at school. Yet they want to hold big...

    Polite way to deal with AWOL CNA’s?

    Kooky Korky replied to Beepbeepbeep's topic in General Nursing

    You have to toughen up. Stop doing their work, even if patients have to wait. Go out and get them from the smoke area or wherever they are. Tell them there are patients crying and falling...

    Contested a Doctor's Order Psych ?

    Kooky Korky replied to mhadvrn34's topic in General Nursing

    The provider is the one who is going to get fired if she messes up like this again. Focus is properly on the nurse asking for help here. To the OP: I have learned that doctors generally look at...

    Should I quit my job

    Kooky Korky replied to whatisgonnabemyname's topic in General Nursing

    Without a crystal ball it is awfully hard to predict which place will be better for you. Just evaluate things as best you can and then make your decision. But I do wish you all the

    ER nurse dealing with bullying...

    Kooky Korky replied to guest1156666's topic in General Nursing

    Charge should have spoken directly to the OP before tattling to the boss. This is what I hate about relationships - people are so rarely up front with those about whom they have a concern, but they...

    Blacklisted from HCA

    Kooky Korky replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    You just didn't realize the implications of quitting, I guess. I doubt I would have either. You are in a David and Goliath situation. Ultimately David won, I know. But I liken your situation...

    Case Study: An OB Catastrophe

    Kooky Korky replied to Corey Narry's topic in Critical Care

    Totally not OB here and haven't given a thought to maternal-fetal circulation for several decades. Just wondering, though - do fetal waste products enter maternal circulation and get disposed of by...

    School Nurse told not to follow DNR order

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Typical Nursing - force a nurse into a no-win situation. Require her/him to have a foot in 2 different fields at once. This really makes me angry. I agree that serious advocacy is

    Not rehirable

    Kooky Korky replied to KMULL002's topic in General Nursing

    While that is a big job, it really doesn't seem like it should have taken all of your time. Seems like you should have been able to work. The operative word is "seems". I don't know your...

    Mask refusal

    Kooky Korky replied to Sherrie Smith's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When the light turns green, you can move ahead - if it is safe to do so. The nurse's career and duty are to use good judgment in treating patients - not to be a martyr, especially those who have...

    Co-worker feels left out & referred to me as a bully today

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurse162's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try asking her to join you after work for coffee or something like that. Make it a time in which she has your undivided attention. Then see if you can figure out why she is so troubled. Some...

    Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    Kooky Korky replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    Any pt who assaults/batters an employee should be reported to the police. Not to Security, not to just a supervisor or manager, although it would be necessary to report to the latter, but to law...

    Kooky Korky replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    When Holt and his buddies and the managers of the hospital go through this, justice will have been done. Too bad Suckow didn't contact police herself. She still should. And she should mount a...

    Kooky Korky replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Let's turn the other cheek as the Savior taught us to do. Let us pray for our enemies and bless those who curse us. Let's forgive and model God's love. That is not to say that man's law doesn't...
