    Found out I was pregnant, after I accepted new job. What to do?

    Kooky Korky replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    There wasn't a blatant apology. I am angry, though, at the thought that anyone thinks she shouldn't be allowed to create her family, go to MD appointments, etc. because she owes 100000% availability...

    Kooky Korky replied to rose_marie's topic in General Nursing

    Shhhh! ---It's all a crock!

    Kooky Korky replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when people don't pay attention to their work - like checkers at the grocery store yacking on a cell phone while ringing up my order and stuff like that. I make them hang up by holding my...

    Shhhh! ---It's all a crock!

    Kooky Korky replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Random reactions: I'd be upset if my Sup scalded me. Some Managers are resented because they don't have compassion for staff, don't ever offer to help with anything, including scheduling holidays...

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

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    The amount of pain these little guys can cause is amazing! You'd think "out of sight, out of mind", but no. Out of sight seems to make it hurt more. Just wondering if any of you work with docs who...
