    New nurse getting yelled at by supervisor nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurse128's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    She didn't know to call Hospice for MSO4 renewal. How can she review what she doesn't know she doesn't know? Otherwise, right on about the yelling. OP, just calmly tell the yeller that you would...

    A Nurses Duty to act

    Kooky Korky replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misread what I wrote. The attorney (who also told me that a nurse has no duty to act except on the job), stated that people have no duty to, for example, try to help a drowning victim,...

    A Nurses Duty to act

    Kooky Korky replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    Is she legally obligated, though? She needs to ask a lawyer what her state laws are and she needs to be specific here so we can understand what she's really

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    She knows she messed up, knows she should have done Comm College or at least an in-state college/university. She is stressed and reaching out for some encouragement and wisdom, not holier-than-thou...

    Anyone had an experience like this??!!

    Kooky Korky replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Can you call or go talk in person with the Director of HR and with your supposed supervisor? Be nice, just say you are confused, you are ok with them changing their minds about hiring you, if indeed...

    Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Not better. Just that God had one set of plans for one person and a different set of plans for someone else. Life is filled with many seriously frustrating questions for which we do not get to have...

    Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you meant are NOT DNR at 95, right? Do you think all doctors are honorable? Always? Why does everyone have to donate organs to please

    Thank goodness you are here to determine science v. miracle for all of us. Just for the record - Who do you think invented Science? God, my dear, God. Yes, he invented evolution and the big bang,...

    A Nurses Duty to act

    Kooky Korky replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    This is a question for an attorney in OP's state where he/she works and maybe resides (if different). An attorney where I live once stated that there is no duty to act if we see someone drowning,...

    School Shootings

    Kooky Korky replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Vaccines likely do as much harm as good. Our world is polluted. That teacher said it all. Not to mention, of course, all of the paperwork/record requirements that teachers face today is probably...

    Privacy violation??

    Kooky Korky replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    Except that it was the school nurse informing an outside doctor, not the other way

    Privacy violation??

    Kooky Korky replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    Are the Admin personnel not en loco parentis, therefore entitled to be made aware of students' health issues? For OP - for your peace of mind and a totally correct and thorough answer, you need to...

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    Right med but suspended

    Kooky Korky replied to CJ2121's topic in General Nursing

    This could be the trouble. You're not gossiping and buddying up to anyone. I'm being sort of tongue-in-cheek. I am more or less a lone wolf, too. I talk about the weather, ooh and ahh about...

    School Shootings

    Kooky Korky replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    That often happens. Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez, likely just about every well-publicized mass rapist/killer/cannibal gets fan mail and marriage proposals. Some probably even get...
