    Sleeping on lunch break

    Kooky Korky replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    I think you meant "eyes closed (not clothes) and doze off (not dose off)". Right? Me, too, I'm wide awake at the first sound, first shake of my

    Sleeping on lunch break

    Kooky Korky replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your sleeping in the chapel was offensive to her? Yes, I think you should have told her you were praying and meditating. Why not? Have you appealed to anyone? Has this ever happened before at...

    Sleeping on lunch break

    Kooky Korky replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    If this OP gets paid for a lunch break, it is her own time and she can do with it as she wishes. The law does not consider it a true break if the worker cannot do as she wishes on this breaktime....

    Why are people encouraging me to become an M.D. rather than an RN?

    Kooky Korky replied to tnewman's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder, too, about you having already 2 different, unrelated degrees. Please search yourself on this. Why Accounting and Chemical Engineering? Why now Nursing or Medicine? Why not either be an...

    what about this doctor?

    Kooky Korky replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    The penalty is way too lenient. Also, I hope the prosecutor is going to prosecute. This is a terrible thing to do to patients. I hope all of his victims get a huge hunk of his money and property....

    Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest you stop picking up the slack and getting behind in your own tasks. I suggest you read the responses here again and try some of these techniques. I know it's scary to stand up and confront...

    THAT USED TO BE ME!

    Kooky Korky replied to glutton4punishment's topic in General Nursing

    But why not just tell him the truth? you have been told to leave, you need to give him report NOW, could he please let you give it and then get back to whatever he was doing, etc. I hope you weren't...

    is this a common thing with OVERTIME

    Kooky Korky replied to CHEWEYchum's topic in General Nursing

    Don't threaten your boss unless you are truly prepared to get on her bad side. Are you prepared to quit or be fired? Burn your bridges? Lose a good reference? Just say you would like more hours,...

    Hippa email concern - Is it a violation?

    Kooky Korky replied to laney_'s topic in General Nursing

    She already knew her from the outside, though. I don't think you did anything wrong. But you are worried, so don't do it again. Don't bring it up to the patient/friend, don't apologize. If you do,...

    well, this is a tough question since i don't know what your instructor has said about it. but you don't either, so we are both confused. in general, whatever you chart should be true; free of your...

    Unsafe agency, unsafe case. Need advice please!

    Kooky Korky replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    They will tell you anything, like "we have no other cases available", to get you to do what they want you to do. Quit now. Give notice, be sick and unavailable, get out of there. The scheduler...

    How should I ask my manager...?

    Kooky Korky replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    How foolish, though, to tell one's coworkers and expect that the boss won't find out! Run and tell the manager you want that spot. Believe me, the manager has heard that request before! (to move...

    Kooky Korky replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I guess it's better to figure this out now rather than after you're done with school. You might be smart to focus on finding work that takes you away from the bedside and deals more with science...

    Confused new RN!

    Kooky Korky replied to ashalina213's topic in General Nursing

    No job is perfect. Also, being a new grad is hard no matter where you work. Keep your job, learn it well, get the experience for at least a year unless something perfect pops up. I wish you the

    Odor Query

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, here goes. Every morning, I notice that I, uh, stink. Between 0400 and 0600. It's not that I'm especially hot or working hard or sweating. I just notice an odor about myself. Nobody has...
