    Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    Kooky Korky replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    This just infuriates me. Unless you didn't bring up to the doc and staff the things you have brought up here. I assume you let them know you needed teaching and proper supplies. What was their...

    Unethical Former Boss- Advice?

    Kooky Korky replied to FNPinAL's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Not to be rude, OP, but you sound like a real ditz. You come across as very laissez-faire, com si, com sa, lackadaisical. Oblivious to what a serious situation you are part of. Follow the advice you...

    Help! Preceptor Issue

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

    I definitely agree that you are to have a Preceptor readily available. If you agree to essentially work without one, you are placing yourself in jeopardy, I believe. You were assigned a new...

    Do you think I can get my job back?

    Kooky Korky replied to allyyyjustine's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you did, they'd get you on something else. I know it is painful and unfair, but best for you to move on. I do think you should make it known to HR and Administration that you had only 1...

    One NP with online education

    Kooky Korky replied to Subee2's topic in General Nursing

    She's not bashing the nursing profession or NP's. She is correctly saying that NP's should have actual experience as nurses before going on to advanced practice - at least a couple of years. She is,...

    When is your response due? How would you reply to these queries? Give a couple or 3 examples of responses? Often, the less said, the better. Don't be too brief, but don't be verbose

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    Kooky Korky replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    We had more privacy but no more freedom to speak our minds. At least, that has been my experience. There are so many people who either enjoy hurting others or who just gossip, badmouth, even lie...
