    Berated by parent

    Kooky Korky replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    At her convenience? The time for the parent to have convenience has long passed. The parent shows no concern whatsoever for other children. Or for the rules, or for even her own daughter, who...

    Berated by parent

    Kooky Korky replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    What came of those talks? I don't understand why Admin, both Principal and Nursing, don't lay down the law, suspend, etc. And why, RNTaadaa, does the parent get away with rudeness toward you? You...

    Help! I Can't Get Rid of My Dark Cloud

    I am not good at nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to Lostinorlando's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that adding Night shift (making the adjustment of her whole sleep/wake cycle, her whole family and her whole life) is necessarily for the best right now. And Nights can be nuts, too,...

    Girl, please. You are ridiculous if you are giving up so soon. A med error that didn't do any harm? Please. How is it "huge"? Every error is "huge", but learn from this, don't flip out like you...

    I received a bonus for hiring on way back when. They gave me 1/4 of it in my first paycheck. They paid another 1/4 after I was off of probation in 6 months. Then the last half came on my one year...

    I was accused of being impaired at work

    Kooky Korky replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Nursing Career

    You make a lot of sense. Now if only Social Security would see it this way and grant her Disability. And I hope she has short-term and long-term Disability insurance. I hope she has stopped all sugar...

    Is my license suspended immediately after I self-report an arrest?

    Kooky Korky replied to c.dom's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Is it really considered reasonable to notify someone on the day of the hearing that the hearing will be held in just a couple of hours? There should be at least a couple of weeks' notice given IMO. A...

    Kooky Korky replied to Monkies's topic in Nurses Recovery

    When your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail. Counselor sounds like a jerk, but seems not to know any alternatives. Keep clean and endure. Do NOT discuss ANYTHING with ANYONE at work...

    When male prisoners intentionally expose themselves to females

    Kooky Korky replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    I think she gave the V as treatment and advised him to not masturbate for a while. I'm not sure how a clinically appropriate procedure such as Hppy suggested is overly familiar or wrong. I think...

    Kooky Korky replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Correctional

    I agree. It might also be dangerous. I think ignoring them is best. Or just "Close up" or "Put yourself away". Nicely but

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Kooky Korky replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Not all nurses are trustworthy. I would have cameras if a nurse were alone with my loved one, in my home, nurse or not. I know it's not pleasant to be on camera, but it does tend to keep people...

    Kooky Korky replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Who is "her"? Do you mean the other nurse, who would more correctly be called "she"? I always accompanied my patients to their appointments when I did home care, but I didn't drive them in my car. I...

    Unsafe Environment for Graduate Nurse?

    Kooky Korky replied to KMcRN19's topic in General Nursing

    The license is a nurse's livelihood. Fragile is not the word I would pick. You make it sound like it's nothing. OP stated her priority. Surviving as an RN. Why would you think she is more...

    Virtual/Hallway patient

    Kooky Korky replied to Ra3liana's topic in General Nursing

    Is this due to a lack of enough facilities in your area? Or people not really needing to be admitted? Or not being discharged quickly enough and kept too long as inpatients? Or inadequate home...
