    Hi, Tweety, it's nice to see you! What if one's religion is atheism or agnosticism or something else that would likely not invoke the Bible, Koran, or other holy book? Interesting aside: I recently...

    Why The Future of NP Practice Maybe A Two Edged Sword

    Kooky Korky replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Go to Medical School if you want the pay, prestige, and standing of a doctor. I understand how you feel, but being a nurse, advanced or not, will likely, as far as I can see, be different than being a...

    Wow, now that is something to think about.

    Gloves at all times?

    Kooky Korky replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught to not wear gloves when doing colostomy care, as it would make the pt feel bad. No lie. It was a long time ago. I always wore them anyway. I really didn't want someone else's poop...

    Really Sick

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in School

    I subbed last week and have been super sick since. Bronchitis, SOB, horrible cough, muscle aches, fever. Happened the first time I subbed, too. Tea, cough med, tylenol, steam up the bathroom and...

    Anti-Vaxxers Shut Down Immunization Events

    Kooky Korky replied to J.Adderton's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Slippery slope. Someone might decide to start mandating your religious choice, your voting choice, your choices in other areas that they figure affect the rest of the public. I guess you appreciate...

    Really Sick

    Kooky Korky replied to Kooky Korky's topic in School

    Lots of good advice here. Feeling pretty well now, just horrible cough still. Doc sent codeine syrup, as DM was doing little. No appetite, just want cold water and chicken broth. Hope you all will be...

    Witchcraft Resurgence

    Kooky Korky replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    On the old westerns, you see how they did it when modern stuff (vax, abx) was not even heard of yet. Rest, rest, and more rest. Time. I guess you either pulled through or you didn't. I believe there...

    New School Nurse looking for liability advice

    Kooky Korky replied to duluthRN223's topic in School

    Don't ask for an order. You might get it. Then, your hands will be tied. Just use your good judgment and common sense. Because if you don't seek emergency help for the girl and she suffers damage,...

    Can I be a nurse with herpetic whitlow?

    Kooky Korky replied to Magnolia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a lot of gossip. I figured out it is best to just talk about non-controversial, neutral stuff. No one really needs to know about my family relationships or troubles they can gloat about and good...

    Question: Tooth or Foot First?

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

    I'd say they are equal in priority. The ortho thing involves bone, with attendant risk of osteomyelitis. However, it turns out the pt might not have to have the foot done. Might be able to get a shoe...

    Question: Tooth or Foot First?

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    Had an interesting question come up on Rounds. The patient needs some tooth surgery (root canal) and a podiatric/orthopedic surgery. Question arose of which to do first. One foot surgeon said he...

    Can’t a nurse be fired?

    Kooky Korky replied to Barbara Fouch Lentz's topic in General Nursing

    This is somewhat exaggerated. And I have had more than one pt come back to the NH from the hospital with new pressure sores. So it definitely works both

    Kooky Korky replied to Magnolia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you should go about announcing to ANYONE that you have ta particular diagnosis or problem. Learn now to keep your personal business personal. Get in the habit of not discussing your...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Kooky Korky replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    If the CRNA will be working at a teaching hospital, it might be good to be able to teach. Also, the CRNA might wish to teach student CRNA's and/or manage an Anesthesia practice in the future, so...
