    Kooky Korky replied to INDY RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Muno, please. Just once try to see this from a staff nurse's point of view. To be ordered to work without proper gear, to be ordered by freaking Employee Health to stay home until cleared, and then...

    To be a coward, or to be a fool?

    Kooky Korky replied to MsJenn_The_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't recall ever being told that being a nurse required me to sacrifice my own life or health, put my life on the line to save others, or go into austere environments. Some nurses do this - like...

    Kooky Korky replied to Hannah73749843's topic in General Students

    Yes, list everything. I found it hard to read the whole thing you wrote. Don't bring up the wrong touching at this point. Address the failing only. It does sound like the Instructor doesn't much...

    Hi, Grumpy I am not seeing the article now. Perhaps I misread it, as NRS Karen pointed out above. I do think it is absolutely wrong for CDC or other organization to not release to front line workers...

    If under investigation by your states nursing board, are you able to apply for endorsement licensure in other non-compact states?

    Kooky Korky replied to CCRNJames's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure. What does your lawyer advise? Ask the lawyer here on allnurses. Personally I think you should/could go ahead. Again, though, check with your lawyer. Also ask the opinion of another...

    If you are vomiting or having terrible pain or diarrhea, you aren't going to do too much talking. OP, glad it worked out well. How did that happen? I agree it would have been smart to go to the

    New Grad Training During COVID-19
