    Mother Hen

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

    Thank you. I was feeling that I was insensitive, perhaps being ruled by slights I've endured over the years, being bitter. I try to leave all that alone, but it does come to consciousness sometimes....

    I think you should make some gently inquiries about not getting the award. Or better yet - blow your own horn. Write down the things you wrote here, give concrete examples, dates, names, whatever...

    feeling the negative enviroment in prison nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to hrdcore's topic in Correctional

    You really do not know why they treat you as they do. Perhaps you will never know. Are the same guards even still there 8 years later? If you feel safe enough to keep working there, if you believe...

    What is better? 2nd or 3rd shift as a nurse in prison??

    Kooky Korky replied to hnt1987's topic in Correctional

    The answer depends on you, your needs, your family, etc. What are you looking for? Sleep? Learning? Excitement at work? Time to read or do crossword puzzles? Nights might have emergencies, lines of...

    Kooky Korky replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I put students out of my lectures when they distracted me and other students by chatting. They got one warning then boom...out they went. Man's disrespect for his fellow man knows no bounds. Nor...

    Need your thoughts, experienced nurses....

    Kooky Korky replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    So glad the Charge Nurse backed you up. I'll bet the doctor didn't apologize. As for the Foley, well, you tried. Try to go with your instincts next time is all I can think

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

    Not to be too picky, but I don't think it's so good to tell someone how he or she SHOULD feel. We feel what we feel. The OP is not really in a place yet where she can feel honored. She is freaked...

    DDNN schedule- need opinions please

    Kooky Korky replied to Guest505077's topic in General Nursing

    The alternating schedule is very painful, very unhealthy, I think, for most people. Can't your facility make straight shifts possible? Working all Days or all Nights makes it easier to adjust your...

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

    I think it is human nature to complain - for some people, anyway. Maybe the complainers are more experienced in the world of work than you are? Maybe they don't trust that all the good things will...
