    Charles Cullen and Other Healthcare Serial Killers

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw a story last night about Charles Cullen, former RN in New Jersey. Charles had a rough start in life - his father died a few months before he was born. He was a "late in life" baby, the...

    coworkers calling me stupid to and in front of patients

    Kooky Korky replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I can't believe you haven't decked them by now. Girl, get your head on straight and make it clear, very clear that you are not stupid and you will not allow anyone to call you stupid ever again,...

    Patient rights an privacy bathroom

    Kooky Korky replied to Mqnurse13's topic in General Nursing

    I sure would get that policy in writing and make sure the family is brought in on this immediately. So typical to leave the nurse out of the loop and out to take the hit when someone cracks he old...

    Dealing with nosey nurses

    Kooky Korky replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    It might not hurt to think the best of other workers unless they give you reason to think otherwise. Don't go in expecting trouble. So often, we get what we expect, so expect good people and good...

    Dealing with nosey nurses

    Kooky Korky replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    I have found that wack-a-doodles are not more numerous on Nights than other shifts, LOL. OP - are you paranoid or what? Picking on you? I don't see it. It's thoughtful of you to go outside to break...

    Kooky Korky replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    I hope you let the teacher know that you were in the potty, for God's sake, and that there was no emergency that required her to bang on door. If you didn't teach her that she had done wrong, don't...

    Kooky Korky replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Do you go ahead and look at the mole (or whatever) or tell them, nicely but unapologetically, that you are eating and they can come back at _____? Are you even expected to deal with non-emergent staff...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    Kooky Korky replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    Just tell him clearly, no hinting, that you appreciate his work friendship, but that you need him to realize that you are married and are not interested in any relationship beyond that. With anyone,...

    Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    Kooky Korky replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    What did you give up to change jobs? Pension? Amount of PTO? Seniority? Friends? Good schedule? Shorter drive? Culture? Etc.? Maybe it was a good move all around for you. I hope so. I'm just...

    Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    Kooky Korky replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    A big part of MAGA would be getting insurance companies out of health care. Health care should not be a business. I think we are the only civilized nation that abides this criminal shame. As for OP's...

    Nasty/aggressive patients

    Kooky Korky replied to Kugrad2018's topic in General Nursing

    Be as courteous to people as you can without letting them use you. THE LESS YOU SAY TO PEOPLE, THE BETTER. Often this is true. SILENCE IS GOLDEN. In other words, you don't always have to verbally...

    I've done this several times. Or try to find a w/c that has a place to hook the IV pole on. Or put the IV pole near one of your hands (behind the patient) and go. you will be gripping the chair with...

    Nurses Eat Their Young

    Kooky Korky replied to Dairian's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmm...I don't doubt the toxicity of various hospitals or jobs or Charge nurses. But do you think you are sub-consciously inviting this in some way? I'm not saying you are, just wondering if maybe...

    What do you do with families who think badly of you?

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

    Get the RT in there and get the alarm fixed. Or get a different ventilator. What a ridiculous situation - an alarm that has to be ignored. Surely this is a violation of basic common sense. I think...
