    Are We Too PC?

    Kooky Korky replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what state are you in and how much do you think those rides cost the state (taxpayers)? I don't begrudge the rides for those who truly have no other means to get to appointments, but I have seen...

    41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    Kooky Korky replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    ESP808, I have been thinking about your situation and your question. I wonder what you would say to this - how about considering working as a promoter of nurse unions? With your business/insurance...

    The Big Chill

    Kooky Korky replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    Interesting the number of posters who seem willing to let parents yell at you. What can be done to rein them in so they treat you courteously, the way they want you to treat

    Are We Too PC?

    Kooky Korky replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    There are limits to everything. "Kamikaze" needs to educate those who call her that. Nicely, humbly educate them as to what kamikaze really was/is. And she, assuming she is not old enough to have...

    Kooky Korky replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    Hello, ESP808 Well, I am so sorry to read from so many members here that Nursing is currently just a horrible profession to enter. I can't say I disagree. Perhaps you would do well to heed the...

    Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    Kooky Korky replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Are the other nurses more experienced? Are they actually doing all of their work? I ask because I once had a job where I never really could take a break or seem to finish on time. I was always...

    Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    Kooky Korky replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    You should have stopped for ice cream along the way, LOL. I never got a Float diff. Wish I had, it sounds like a great idea. But never floated all that often, really. We usually knew by 5 if we...

    Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    Kooky Korky replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Not TRY. She must not ask permission, as it will not be granted. She must make the decision that "I need some time off" and TELL her boss that she is not coming in today or however many days she...

    questionable IM injection

    Kooky Korky replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't either, except one pt who refused Haldol D 3 ml. in bigger muscle. He said he always got it in deltoid, and other nurses said they always gave it in his deltoid, and I didn't want him to...

    Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    Kooky Korky replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Did you at least change into clean, dry clothing? Honestly, grow a backbone and never let anyone treat you like that again. Yeah, I know, easier said than done. But you have to do it. I know you...

    Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    Kooky Korky replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Don't tell them it's for mental health. Just call off sick. An employer does NOT have the legal right to know what sickness you are having. To keep the peace if they ask, just say fever, diarrhea,...

    Any advice for a new grad trying to stay afloat?

    Kooky Korky replied to Rainbow_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Suggest that the meetings happen at 10 at night. It's important to let it be known how miserable it is to be required to appear in what might be your normal sleep time. I think the last four...

    Forgot to follow up on orders

    Kooky Korky replied to JMK04's topic in General Nursing

    Not a Board situation, IMO. You made an error, sounds like lots of people made errors. Accept no more than your fair share of the blame. Try to ferret out the reason no one followed up so nothing...

    Kooky Korky replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I can so relate to how you think. I now have a headache just from reading this thread. I am anxious and my heart is actually racing. Thank God Moms always dealt with this sort of thing for our kids....

    Kooky Korky replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    Don't let any of it get to you, Man. People here are forever biting other peoples' heads off. The trouble is that it is not possible to know how every individual here is going to perceive what you...

    Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    Tony didn't say, "Oh, but it happens to men, too". I don't think he intended to hijack the thread or put women down. He was relating to OP. She asked for people to share. She didn't say that...

    Kooky Korky replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    It must not remain the same. It has to change for the sake of all patients. Stop being someone who doesn't seem willing to pick up the sword. You do know how to effect change, right? Just lacking...
