    BAD first day at assisted living as a new nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to VeronicaMarie's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it was kind of messed up. Who was the "visiting nurse"? Might you have gone to talk to the supervisor before calling 911? If the person was not coding, you could have taken time to check the...

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

    That doesn't necessarily translate to you not having any liability in case of a bad reaction, I am thinking. Just thinking out loud. A clear-headed adult colleague requests/demands and takes an OTC...

    Did I overreact to a scheduling error?

    Kooky Korky replied to Zippy83's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
