    Holding diuretics, beta-blockers, and nitrate when there are no parameters

    Kooky Korky replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    Notify the doc, ask for parameters. A pox on your lazy coworkers for not notifying the doc when there are no parameters. And a pox on the doctors for not giving parameters in the first place.

    Why do nurses cringe when I say I want to be a OR nurse?

    Kooky Korky replied to mariawong's topic in General Nursing

    Do your own thing, Girl. You won't improve certain skills but you will be learning others and doing something you love. If I need the OR, I want someone who loves it. Go for

    VIP Patient Demanding His Drugs

    Kooky Korky replied to athey1999's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    She will be canned about 2 minutes after doing the things you say, even though you are right to give the counsel you gave. Always comes the advice to quit and go work elsewhere. Getting creative here...

    Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Kooky Korky replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree. That's why I said at the outset that she should get a Supervisor. I will say that some frontliners are rude and officious. Or vapid and immature. These do get on my nerves, although I have...

    Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Kooky Korky replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why are you not getting a supervisor? And an Administrator if the Sup also has her head where it doesn't belong? If that doesn't work, get your lawyer on speed dial. If that fails, take your Mom...

    Being Rushed in the ED

    Kooky Korky replied to vtachy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Take your breaks if safe to do so or you are about to wet yourself. Make them pay you for working through your unpaid lunch break. Your rest breaks are likely not mandatory for them to give you,...

    Being Rushed in the ED

    Kooky Korky replied to vtachy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Anyone upset by being forced to work this way needs to find their sense and their courage and SPEAK UP. If managers or admin won't listen, get them to work a few hours with you so they can experience...

    CNN: Abortion Performed on Wrong Woman

    Mute means silent. Moot means it doesn't matter. I think you mean moot. I think clams, oysters, lobsters get boiled alive, too. Just

    Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    So she has to take work for which she is not prepared? Risk her license because she is forced to work bedside without proper training and O? What does this mean in

    Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    Kooky Korky replied to Rex Sanchez's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That sentiment has to be tempered with a nurse's actual abilities, both skill/knowledge/experience in Nursing and her/his personal health and other, unavoidable obligations. I wonder if Managers are...

    I guess all doctors can do surgery. All brain surgeons can do hip replacements. And I would for sure want a dermatologist to do my colonoscopy. You must be in Management. Unemployment rules are...

    Texas Hospital making nurses resign or take care of COVID patients

    Make them fire you if you don't want to resign. Are they going to give you some training and orientation so you will feel more able to go back to the bedside? Why would nurses not qualify for...

    Google it first. To be fore warned is to be fore armed. Don't ever trust HR farther than you can throw them. They are not your friend. Their goal is to protect the employer. There is intermittent...

    How are your Covid patients treated in your Covid/ICU unit?

    Kooky Korky replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Her beef is not with Management. It is with aides who ignore call lights. Please re-read what she wrote. For OP - you must set some rules for your semi-worthless "helpers". If you let them get away...
