    No nursery but not allowed to tell new moms that their newborn must room in!

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

    i think i have never heard anything more ridiculous. you and your coworkers need to get together and report this insanity to your congressional representatives, the police, your infection control...

    New nurse cross-training in 6 different OB areas??

    Kooky Korky replied to AvaRN22's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Learn everything you possibly can. I do think you probably can't really master an area without at least a year's time spent in it. But don't pass up this opportunity if you receive

    Patients and the race card

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

    It's not so easy to just let it go. It hurts. And the more often it happens, the more it hurts. Or does the skin thicken? It also angers and can cause hatred to grow, toward the race of the...

    Patients and the race card

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

    It's very disturbing that minorities, of which I am one, often do not understand that THEY are the racists. That is, they are often so full of anger and hatred toward whites that they can't see that...

    Giving residents non-prescribed meds?

    Kooky Korky replied to prinsessa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This might be a killer nurse. Report her/him at once - not only to your boss but to BON, police. She is doing a terribly illegal practice. Who knows what else she is injecting? Withholding?...

    Giving residents non-prescribed meds?

    Kooky Korky replied to prinsessa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Perhaps these nurses are either lazy or have a desire to be prescribers without going to Med school, NP school, or PA school. Stop these illegal practices at once if you're doing them. If it's not...

    Change of shift- acute patient issues?

    Kooky Korky replied to Trubie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    But that's not what she asked. She's not denying that the patient is hers. She's asking at what point the patient becomes the patient of the next shift. She's giving offgoing report, for God's sake,...

    Fitting in on the floor

    Kooky Korky replied to amarilla's topic in General Nursing

    Trouble is, it could very well be her loss if they attack her, gang up on her, single her out to "get"

    Fitting in on the floor

    Kooky Korky replied to amarilla's topic in General Nursing

    Why was the clerk paging you about someone else's patient? The clerk does not determine priorities. You do. You're the nurse. She's just shocked at being put in her place by a (former) tech. I...

    Do you think this is fair?

    Kooky Korky replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    me, too. Never got paid more than straight time. Firefighters get 1.5 or double pay in some locales. Go

    Do you think this is fair?

    Kooky Korky replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, those who get paid more often do not have benefits - insurance, vacation time, pensions, and the like. That's why they get paid more - because they don't get benefits. There's always a...

    What do you do in the nursing station in your down time?

    Kooky Korky replied to kiwipsychnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    There's a lot to do. I did read, did work crossword puzzles, took required online education classes, tended to insurance renewals (relevant now that it's time to choose for next year), attended...

    Do you think this is fair?

    Kooky Korky replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    i hurt from this callous, possibly jealous, remark.let's face it - they don't call it "work" for nothing, no matter how high the pay, how great the working conditions. there are, apparently, always...

    Do you think this is fair?

    Kooky Korky replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    Was it really necessarily to tell her to get over it? What does that achieve? It felt so biting to me. Maybe I'm being overly

    Am I admirably persistent or just delusional?

    Kooky Korky replied to SillyInScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, her friend on the inside can confirm whether or not the people who've been hired are actually internal transfers if she does a little gentle digging for information. But it's time to start...

    questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    That was some kinda uncool sitter! ornate lived or died? ornate? what does that mean? I have always known there must be a market for 24/7/365 child care. Did you really feel nothing for the...

    questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct. I did use "we" and should not have done so, although I know that there are many, many theists here who do share my view. By no means did I mean to sound like I think everyone here or...

    I have never thumped a Bible in my life. I did not mean to offend you, I just have beliefs that you appear not to share. That's ok, isn't it? We are all different. I just shared my view, that's...

    ever feel like you 'know too much'?

    Kooky Korky replied to goats'r'us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The problem is that they don't all have the same knowledge (or experience or dedication or attention to detail) that we have. Sometimes mistakes are made by very experienced staff who are tired or...

    questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    And yet, don't we believe that God is in control ultimately and that these things happen the way He wants them to? His timing is often not our timing, His ways are often not our ways, but He is still...
