    Kooky Korky replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    she is the gatekeeper right now. and worrying about her clone showing up in the future won't help op to have a future. so she doesn't need to shrug, she needs to figure out what the troubles are and...

    Kooky Korky replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    She needs to give you specific reasons for her godlike pronouncement. Have you been having problems with her? Did something happen recently? Is she the same race as you? Any history of bad blood...

    crap...am I in huge trouble???

    Kooky Korky replied to Rnis's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she walked away or didn't own up to it. Where do you get that she didn't own up to it? She says she helped clean up, notified maintenance, and now fears for her job (so she must have...

    Stubborn Docs, New Docs

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering if anyone has encountered experienced doctors who will never change their orders, even after you explain to them why and how their orders are inappropriate - nicely, courteously,...

    Stubborn Docs, New Docs

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

    The Charge Nurse needs to go over his head since he won't listen to her. Do all Neuro pts feel what you felt? Just asking, I don't really know. Not saying you're wrong, just I wonder. If you are as...

    Hypothetical question

    Kooky Korky replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Do not take the above advice about talking to everyone and dropping hints that you might be leaving. Sorry, Jael. If she does what you suggest, they might fire her before she can get the other

    Hypothetical question

    Kooky Korky replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Everybody uses everybody. We all have to survive. Sometimes that means you will use an employer, usually it's the other way around. Anyway, they are getting work from you while you get paid by...

    Stubborn Docs, New Docs

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

    This sounds more like a case of him being embarrassed, not so much like enjoying belittling nurses. So glad you stood up for your pt and that calling Pain Mgmt was an option. If your aides are...

    Stubborn Docs, New Docs

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

    It's a good question. It tells us that we have to advocate all the way or not chart everything and maybe just do some watchful waiting to see how the pt does. Of course, we can't do that in a true...

    All nurses do is wipe butts

    Kooky Korky replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should just smile sweetly and let it go. You know the day will come, albeit a long time from now probably, when they need a nurse to care for them or their loved ones. At that time, they...

    I got fired today

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why were you fired? What was the reason stated by the DON, who I think must be mentally ill, power mad, and so on. I know you are upset, but I think you are better off being away from this woman. you...

    self mutilating patients

    Kooky Korky replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Respecting the patient? Why not respect him? He's just a person and a very sick one at that. Are you thinking he deserves punishment for mutilating a body made by God? Or is it another type of...

    When someone else gets terminated

    Kooky Korky replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I think you can only hurt yourself by talking about it at work. Whatever you say could get back to your boss and be perceived as criticism of the boss. It's normal to feel badly for a friend, but he...
