    Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    Kooky Korky replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately, God has put Mankind in charge of this world. I agree that He is sovereign, but He requires us to use our brains quite often, not sit back and say, "God's got this", and then wait for...

    Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    Kooky Korky replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was disturbing to see the fresh produce shelves nearly empty Sunday night. Also, there was a shortage of canned vegetables and frozen vegetables that night. Quite disturbing. Our borders should...

    How does working ER or cath lab qualify you to work med/surg? A new grad in particular needs appropriate experience to work successfully in any setting, certainly to

    Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    Kooky Korky replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    The truth is that the employer has the upper hand because employees are easy to get and need the income, in my experience at least. Even if they wrote down the conditions you want - day shift, etc. -...

    Vent: "I should warn you, I'm a tough stick..."

    Kooky Korky replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Sit your doctor down and tell him again what your situation is with veins. Tell him that even an anesthesiologist had to stick you 15 times and they do IV's all day, every day. Tell him you need him...

    Kooky Korky replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    A tiny percentage If you are skilled, gifted, confident, and great with IV's. I have fabulous veins and should never need to be stuck more than once, as proven by most of my times of having to get...

    Assualted by psych patient

    Kooky Korky replied to Udmert's topic in Emergency

    So, Udmert, what did you decide to do? I re-read your original post. It's hard for me to believe that you think it's right to possibly not file a police report after having been KNOCKED OUT. You...

    Stolen supplies

    Kooky Korky replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    And that should take care of the human fear that motivates people in a crisis like this.

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Kooky Korky replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You apologize for others took what you said? How about thinking about what you have said and how you have said it? You are blaming others but seem not to be considering what you have said and

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Kooky Korky replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    It stops when people stop replying or when you stop posting or when mods close the thread. You asked for help, you got it, whether you like the advice or not. You just need to stop being defensive...

    Opinions on how soon to float new nurses

    Kooky Korky replied to Wright007's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should be quite this militant. The secretary needs to mind his own biz. Period. If he wants to tell you something about whoever and whatever someone said about you, just nod, say...

    A Mannequin in my Room!

    Kooky Korky replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    It's great when everything goes as it should. I recall one incident in which everyone did his or her part. It was, as we used to say, just like downtown. It was so

    Please help, feel trapped

    Kooky Korky replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    You have to decide to take of yourself, not worry about the company. If you keep enabling them to overload you, make you lift without a Hoyer lift or whatever equipment would make your life easier,...

    They locked up all the masks in security ?

    Kooky Korky replied to RegisteredNurseReneeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Where would that be? Don't you think the OP is right to not want to be hacked on while caring for the pt she describes? OP, you really make me angry. How could you just let these idiots do this to...

    Kooky Korky replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    But don't put the real reason on this doctor's note. Are you eligible for FMLA? Yes, you will have to give a reason but I don't think you can be denied FMLA if you meet the eligibility criteria. You...

    Is our unit being punished for the actions of one nurse?

    Kooky Korky replied to Boottuff's topic in General Nursing

    What a stupid remark from the ICU nurse. Just as stupid as the boss' action in the OP's post. I guess if it's only 2 days q 6 weeks, it won't be too bad, but I don't understand why the Recovery nurse...
