    New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

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

    Either ask to resign or ask to be transferred, as someone said above. You have to stop crying at work. It shows lack of control of your feelings and is not professional. And it makes people...

    Is this even Legal?

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

    Sorry, but this is so wrong. The OP would be a complete idiot to go to work that day. Tell them now that you will not be there because you will be committing professional suicide to accept 16...

    Medically necessary care

    Kooky Korky replied to Matt8700's topic in Correctional

    Say this if you want a fight. My main goal was always to go home in one piece, under my own steam. Upsetting the inmates does not help achieve this. You might possibly mention that the shampoo is...

    Pill line

    Kooky Korky replied to guest974915's topic in Correctional

    Are you saying that one nurse pours and another administers? How sure are you that your bosses aren't just saying the BON thinks this is acceptable? If so, seems like the work hours should be changed...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    Part of the issue is that you lied, it sounds like. I don't know what the school could and could not ask, but it sounds a little late for you to be deciding. I think you need to talk to a couple of...

    Interesting case of the spilled pills

    Kooky Korky replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The inmate should get to count all of his winnings - all the way to the electric chair. No, I don't know what he did, but he has likely cost the taxpayers quite a lot in his life. And don't forget...

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

    This makes me so angry. Our boss, as nice and decent and knowledgeable as she was, would not stand up for us when it came to Pharmacy delivering meds right when we were the busiest on the

    Never let it go. Put it on Retired status if that's an option. Best wishes to you,

    Kooky Korky replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    No write-up from me. But I would talk to you about not giving them both. And the doctor is wrong for writing such unclear orders. Orders should have said "Xanax 0.5 po for anxiety q 8 h PRN, Xanax...

    Loving The Job, Poor Orientation

    Kooky Korky replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Correctional

    Did Corrections for about 10 years. Enjoyed it quite a bit, that is, I enjoyed not working in the hospital mostly, I think. You have to be careful to keep the proper distance between yourself and the...

    12 patients for a new grad to much?

    Kooky Korky replied to Stitchcat's topic in General Nursing

    I advise you to not do much in the way of toileting, feeding, and other work that the aides can do. Just tend to your own RN duties for now. Once you are more confident and quicker with your own...

    When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    Not smart enough - and you're stuck with me! Love it when they gasp and go pale.

    How NOT to Write an Incident Report

    Kooky Korky replied to CloverPark's topic in Nursing Humor

    I wonder how the lamp responded. It's scary that the writer is so inept with writing. I hope his/her maintenance skills are a lot better than the

    Robot tells man he'll be dead in hours

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There apparently was no other staff present. It's really disturbing that most of you don't find this disturbing, that you expect a dying person and his granddaughter to be stoic and prepared for the...

    No argument except that passing meds correctly is crucial. You likely didn't mean to make it sound like it can be done by a trained monkey or that it takes less skill and intelligence than doing...

    Losing job due to injury

    Kooky Korky replied to JB2014's topic in General Nursing

    A friend was in a bad car accident, not her fault. Laid up for more than a year, lost her job. She did get another one eventually and is doing fine now. So hang in there and do what you need to do...
