    Has anyone done this?

    Kooky Korky replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Keep a few cheaper stethoscopes around for this purpose. You don't want your $500 cardiac special walking

    What do you think?

    Kooky Korky replied to Decemberblues's topic in General Nursing

    It's a totally different thing. Actors, would-be actors know what they are up against. They are well aware that only a very, very few models, actors, singers, etc. ever make it at all and that...

    rn? how many have you actually heard of who have obtained jobs? it's one thing to not hear of any who can't find. but it's another to hear of someone who actually has been hired. where exactly are...

    What do you think?

    Kooky Korky replied to Decemberblues's topic in General Nursing

    It's more than the schools that will paint the future of Nursing. It's idiots like Joe Heck, the US House of Reps Representative from Nevada, who pandered to the Asian business community by getting...

    Confused, need your help

    Kooky Korky replied to futuredream's topic in General Nursing

    Please note the correct spelling - it's license, not lisence. With the new Compact licensure that's happening these days, it might not matter. I think, though, that the best thing to do is contact...

    Horrific Write Ups? Has it ever happened to you?

    Kooky Korky replied to NonieJuice's topic in General Nursing

    This is pure insanity. 45 minutes went by and that was too

    Horrific Write Ups? Has it ever happened to you?

    Kooky Korky replied to NonieJuice's topic in General Nursing

    This should be given to every state Board, every Nursing school recruiter site, every legislator. It is so ridiculous, so disrespectful, such a waste of time. Did they want you to leave or what?...

    Horrific Write Ups? Has it ever happened to you?

    Kooky Korky replied to NonieJuice's topic in General Nursing

    Did you make it known to your Manager's boss how your Manager treated you, jumped to conclusions, didn't even bother to talk to you or make sure you were on duty on the day of the

    Don't they make special systems for blind folks? Being at the VA, she could probably find out how to get something to

    VENT ! Well they won !I am quiting

    Kooky Korky replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    They don't want to help her. They want to either have her work and quit complaining or fire her. Plain and simple. That's the hard, bitter

    Never mind nurse compassion. How about just a fellow traveler having compassion? The OP sounds half dead. Sorry, she just sounds really badly off and she is playing right into her boss' hands by...

    Can you renew your RN license if you cant find a job?

    Kooky Korky replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    Find out right now. Do not delay. I mean it. Immediately call your state Board and get all the information you need. Do NOT let that license lapse. I doubt you have to have a certain number of...

    Patient Advocacy in L&D

    Kooky Korky replied to ChloBear's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, Nancy Reagan said it quite clearly. Have your patient "just say no" to surgery, including episiotomy, and whatever else they don't want. I know it's easier said than done often. A pt has to...

    Battle Of The RN's: Emergency Room Vs Floor Nurse!

    Kooky Korky replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She might not have transferred a patient wet. That pt might have become wet after leaving the ER. I just hate it when someone assumes guilt. Someone here, maybe not you, said that one RN license...

    Battle Of The RN's: Emergency Room Vs Floor Nurse!

    Kooky Korky replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i think all nurses who complain about or lack understanding of areas or shifts other than their own should work a week in said areas or on said shifts. i do understand your frustration, though....

    Fever and Important Medical Test on Monday...still in orientation! What to do?

    Kooky Korky replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    This is just me. If I'm so sick that I just can't take some ASA or Tylenol and go to work, then I have to stay home. Usually, you feel better once you're up and moving. Or go in for part of the day...

    Who does your pt assignments?

    Kooky Korky replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    This is long term care, so it's not as hectic, maybe, as acute care. Plus, we have the same staff work the same hall all the time. On our rehab side, the nurses and aides are assigned to the same...

    Mandated Flu vaccine?

    Kooky Korky replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Talk to a lawyer. Be prepared for a battle and maybe having to find a new job. Or get your doctor to say you can't take the flu shot. Question: since you had the H1N1, aren't you immune to that...

    Can an ADN nurse move into supervisory positions with only 4 years experience?

    Kooky Korky replied to NenaRK's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it insulting? OP is asking a question, she clearly states she's doing pre-reqs; she's trying to figure out if she needs a BSN. She isn't saying anything good or bad about anyone. I don't...

    Knocked off my feet

    Kooky Korky replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    She is very smart, IMO, to not give details on a public board. How much help can anyone here really give her, anyway? She is absolutely right, also, IMO, in realizing that politics played the role...
