    Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Kooky Korky replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Lost my husband on Holiday Break

    Kooky Korky replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I am so very sorry about your husband passing. It's awfully tough to lose a loved one. We beat ourselves up, we nurses wonder why we didn't see it coming, we deal with all of the funeral...

    Addressing the Predicted Nursing Shortage

    Kooky Korky replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Traffic Misdemeanor

    Kooky Korky replied to henwad's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    If a speeding ticket impedes your getting a Nursing license, that would really be harsh. Who has not had a speeding ticket? Reckless driving? Sounds more serious so you had better deal with it and...

    Frustrated and Lost

    Kooky Korky replied to Genafaggion's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you ever thought about being a missionary nurse? Or working with the US Public Health Service so that you could work with perhaps an underserved/minority group of patients? Nursing in the US...

    Loosing hope

    Kooky Korky replied to Mtac32's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I thought you were looking for help. You are coming across as argumentive, quarrelsome, and not open to any of the good suggestions folks have given. Loosing is wrong. Losing it. Loose means not...

    Manager Insists....

    Kooky Korky replied to alaskaman's topic in General Nursing

    If you're being paid through 1930 you should be there on the floor until 1930. Ready to work. Help someone to the toilet or whatever. It kind of isn't right because you've likely given up lots and...

    How can I help educate floor nurses as a Hospitalist NP?

    Kooky Korky replied to Bumashes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A couple of mean, miserably unhappy nurses I worked with in ER wanted me to be in charge after just a couple of weeks. I stated that I didn't know what the duties of a Charge Nurse were. I felt...

    Christmas Bonuses

    Are you going to be in trouble if you don't contribute? Does your outfit give a ham or turkey to staff? Or a gift card to the grocery store? As a staff nurse, long before there were any except...

    Seeking Guidance

    Kooky Korky replied to Raquel.Perez's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you get a job in other than NICU at the hospital where you want to do NICU, you would be learning their computer, policies, meeting staff and doctors. Not a complete waste. Problem then would be...

    Diabetic student not wanting to drink water

    Kooky Korky replied to Amethya's topic in School

    When we teach something to someone else, we really learn it. Maybe he could be given extra credit by a teacher if he teaches this material to another student(s). It might help him to understand it...

    Non-compliance procedure

    Kooky Korky replied to mattfd37's topic in School

    Interesting that they are given as long as a whole year to comply. Giving so much time to get into compliance doesn't seem like it would be helping the cause of protecting everyone. Or am I...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    Kooky Korky replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Falsified a Blood Sugar

    Kooky Korky replied to Heartbrokennurse11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think your owning up to it will go a long way to convince someone else to hire you. I don't know what your Board will do, if anything. Do they even know about it? As someone else said, there is so...

    Discharging by Wheelchair

    Good points but people also need to keep their jobs. Hence they need to follow the rules until those rules are formally changed. Use the wheelchair. For the patient. I am sorry about your
