    Enablement Overload

    Kooky Korky replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    I just hope they don't take it too strictly when you tell them they are told they are not allowed to come back or they have to wait a certain length of time before they can come back. "Why didn't you...

    Wow, that must have been a tarantula. Black widow. Brown

    Is this discrimination?

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, it wasn't meant nastily. If FLOTUS DOESN'T CARE, why should anyone else? And I'm happy you are happy with your situation. It's nice that you aren't, apparently, hurting for money. Not...

    What Do You Think? Can You Be A Nurse If You Can't Do Bedside Care?

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    Should a student have to be able to do direct care in order to become licensed as an RN? Must an RN be able to give direct care in order to stay licensed? This topic came up in a discussion at work...

    This is a great idea!

    Dilemma - What To Do, What To Do

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

    Who knows? I am thinking of asking HR to send my app to the other clinics and see who, if anyone, responds first. In the past, I've heard that, in general, which means little, HR will only send your...

    I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    Kooky Korky replied to Amdecl6's topic in General Nursing

    Correctional nursing is NOT the place to try to socialize with or get to know your patients very well. And you definitely are going to be trained by your employer to NOT let them get to know you. You...

    Dilemma - What To Do, What To Do

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

    Thanks for the good wishes. We shall see, we shall see... Unfortunately, their application process is online. The online app goes to HR, which is the HR Department for all 4 locations. One outfit...

    Dilemma - What To Do, What To Do

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

    It's actually the Manager herself who is handling it. My guess is that she has hired someone else and is doing the background check on that person, while keeping me on the string. But I don't know...

    Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Kooky Korky replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If I ever earn a Ph.D., you can bet I will call myself "Doctor". It is almost unbelievable to me that some people on this thread don't think a nurse deserves to be called "Doctor" if one has earned...

    Facility does not provide breaks - What can we do?

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

    This just infuriates me. Nurses are their own worst enemies. If you guys won't stand up for yourselves - all of you together, no one gets a free ride - don't blame anyone but yourselves for your...

    Mood today...

    Kooky Korky replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    This is what my Beautiful Baby looked like. When she passed, I help her and cried for a long time. Then we held a funeral and buried her in the place where she loved to sun. She is in my heart...

    Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Kooky Korky replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    I don't double check my peers. Even if I'm supervising the house or am Charging, I don't routinely double check on staff. It has to be a new grad or someone still in Orientation for me to go out of...

    Vitamins

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to figure out why we never hear about more than 8 B vitamins. There are more, we just don't hear of them. Also, why no mention of Vit F or Vit G or Vit H, I, J, L, M, etc. there is a vit...

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Please re-read his original post. You don't seem to have understood much of what he said. English is certainly the majority language of America, but it is not the native language. Review the history...

    Is this discrimination?

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Why should he wait for the next time? He can approach the prejudiced doctor right now. Not run to HR, but talk directly with the doctor. Calmly. Educate the doctor. If wrong response from the doc,...

    This is most assuredly not the case in all workplaces. Many pay extra for that BSN. Check

    Is this discrimination?

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    He's apparently not in a place where doctors speak a second or third language. And in the barrio, he'd fit right in. He's not saying he wants to stand out or be special. He is just rightfully angry...

    Is this discrimination?

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it is expected when I live overseas in a primarily non-English speaking country that I learn the language of the majority people group. Why should it be different here in the U.S.? The trouble...

    Is this discrimination?

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    The staff who have primarily duties other than translating, such as RN's, spend their time translating, they deserve a bonus. A person who is primarily a translator is different from the situation...

    Kooky Korky replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    You pulled the phlebotomist away from what else she was doing. I'm all for trying to do our absolute best for patients, but that phlebo had to stop her other duties, travel to your location, spend...
