    Labor and Delivery Interview Questions

    Kooky Korky replied to nursepenelope's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you all the best. I think you should keep studying, keep practicing the interview with someone live or in the mirror. Keep reading up on interviewing. Get your wardrobe, hair, etc. all...

    would you do this......

    Kooky Korky replied to mcleanl's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'd say not to, if you feel squeamish. Are you sure you want and are able to coordinate after having been off of work for a while? Aah, silly question - you know yourself. Argo, why offended?...

    needing some advice, what would you do?

    Kooky Korky replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have decided to take the new job. It sounds good except the rotating, but maybe you will be able to work a straight shift. Or you will adjust to rotating. It sounds incredibly generous...

    let go 6 wks into 10 wks orientation...is it fair?

    Kooky Korky replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    You can sometimes get by with saying what you really think, it just should always be said courteously, as nicely as possible because you really don't know what the future holds. And maybe it's better...

    No raise for us

    Kooky Korky replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    For the OP - if it makes you feel any better, I haven't had a raise in about 2 or 3 years. Many are in the same boat with you. Our state, for instance, has cut its budget severely and we're being told...

    I hope you are reporting to the authorities the names of each and every person who tells you that he or she is collecting welfare because they don't want to work. If you aren't, you have no right to...

    Kooky Korky replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    Nix about telling other people anything. It can only lead to evil results for you. Every word you say will, I assure you, get back to the bosses. Keep this under your hat. If you believe in prayer, do...

    Kooky Korky replied to maman2zoe's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you shouldn't tell them EXACTLY what you think or feel. However, I really wish they would give you a reason, the reason. Also, you probably have the right to have a statement from you placed...

    A Passionate Note in Support of All Night Shift Health Care Staff

    Kooky Korky replied to Hockeydoll88's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that every shift has plenty of work. I don't think it's necessarily true that Days has lots of back-up help when something bad happens. The doc is not always there and there aren't...

    Night shift not charting until 0000?

    Kooky Korky replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Go by facility policy. If you do that, you can't ever be blamed for not following facility policy. Never mind what anyone does. It's not relevant. Personally, I would think a nurse would want to...

    How to tell my clinical manger i need time off for a lumpectomy

    Kooky Korky replied to nursing assit. 2010's topic in General Nursing

    First, do you need the surgery or not? If not, problem solved. If you do, here's my advice. Tell your surgeon you need a letter/note to give to your boss. It needs to state that you need surgery...

    What is the purpose of Interview?

    Kooky Korky replied to jtanga's topic in Nursing Career

    The interview is a chance for both parties to get real. The applicant should say the truth. "I need the money and you're hiring. Why do you THINK I"m here?" The interviewer should say the truth,...

    Was HR the one that told you your salary or was it the hiring manager or DON or owner or who? If you decide to discuss the salary, talk with the right person, whoever you determine that to be. It is...
