    Suicide screening for all is not needed

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    You have to do what you have to do. In other words, do what is right for you and don't give space in your head to coworkers. That goes for now while you're a student and after you are licensed. I...

    Kooky Korky replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    People just don't all automatically know the harsh reality of staffing before they enter Nursing. I didn't. The schools/recruiters should make sure this is known by applicants before anyone is...

    Protocol for diabetic Stomach ache.

    Kooky Korky replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Also with respect - involving CPS sounds unwarranted to me before a little delving into this family's situation by the nurse seems wrong. Maybe said delving isn't the school nurse's job but there...

    Protocol for diabetic Stomach ache.

    Kooky Korky replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I hope you never again risk your job and your license, your income, and your own family's wellbeing to help a patient in a non-emergent situation. I understand why you did it, but it was really...
