    WHY!!!!

    Kooky Korky replied to 0hnoes85's topic in General Nursing

    Get a year or two of experience then get a different job. Meantime, do not keep working after clocking out. Legally, I think you put yourself outside the scope of protection by insurance if you mess...

    Kooky Korky replied to Giga's topic in General Nursing

    You won't be limited re: how much you can earn. You will be limited by how much of your SS you are willing to have taxed - or reduced - or whatever their outrageously stupid rule is. Check this out,...

    Frustrated beyond belief!

    Kooky Korky replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    CRNA or PharmD???

    Kooky Korky replied to mambutz7hart's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA's can also teach and do research. Nor need they work 24/7/365. Yes, some holiday/night/weekend coverage will likely be required, but nothing like most floor RN's have to do. And some...

    How about taking your break during this time and getting some sleep in the break room close by the unit, so you can jump up if hollered for? sleep, blessed sleep Or at least let your eyes feel some...

    I need to teach an Inservice for Leadership Clinical

    Kooky Korky replied to rollyp80's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on what area the nurses are in (M/S, ER, OB, etc.) and how much time you must fill (limit yourself to). Also, you could ask the nurses directly if they have some topics they want...

    Any nurses with Personal Care Homes?

    Kooky Korky replied to Wgbem's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    How to deal with Negative Nancys?!

    Kooky Korky replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why stay in a job you hate? It's often really scary to change, especially for older workers who might no longer be spry and flexible and able to stand the often brutal pace of some nursing jobs....

    How to deal with Negative Nancys?!

    Kooky Korky replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in General Nursing

    While we are in control of how we respond, our immediate, day to day, day after day, every single shift, over and over again environment sometimes is just overwhelming. Even the strong need a...

    How to deal with Negative Nancys?!

    Kooky Korky replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I dealt with negativity badly. I became surly myself with some people, with others I was shy and felt so put down. I let their ugly behavior cause me to believe I was no good or little good. I didn't...

    How Much Nursing School Debt Are You In?

    Kooky Korky replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing
