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

    Kooky Korky replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    And for those who breastfeed for more than a year? Of course, during the year, they could store up a frozen supply. How long is frozen milk

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

    Will you be covered by Workers' Comp if you are working for

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

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

    What is Admin like? Can you get them to give a longer orientation? And get Managers and Directors to work the floors instead of whatever else they are doing? At least for a while to get some staff...

    body odor

    Kooky Korky replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    Culture or religion might enter in or, as stated by a PP, maybe the person washes but the clothing doesn't get washed. Poverty, working parents, time issues. Coaches/GYM teachers might be good ones...

    This person outranks me?!

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

    Why do you say your question was stupid? Whoever wrote the order must have used an unauthorized abbreviation. And left out

    This person outranks me?!

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

    Why? Please do be specific and don't cut your reply short because I really don't understand how you determine a question to be stupid or

    a small gift to preceptors

    Kooky Korky replied to RN_17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think (just my opinion) a thank you card and a small gift are nice. By small, I mean no more than maybe $25. I started to say $10 but remembered that milk, bread, eggs, just basic stuff costs...

    It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

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

    Stop chatting in the nurses' station. Stop expressing your unique personality at work. just do your job and go home. It's a job, you go there to work. you do not go there for social fulfillment,...

    It's Does No Good To Gripe About Nursing

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

    Whistle blowers can be fired - just not necessarily openly. If the boss wants you gone, you will be gone sooner or later. I have worked with many people for the last few decades. Some were awful and...

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

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

    How do they get by with ignoring you when they are your secondary nurse? How do they demonstrate that they are ignoring you in this situation? Do they refuse to relieve you if you ask them to? Do...

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

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

    Are we sure they are a clique of rude hags? Or a yippy pack of dogs? LOLOLOLOLOLOL All we really can tell is that OP feels she doesn't fit in with some coworkers and is sad because some she does get...

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

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

    It won't necessarily make them even angrier. Some might be jealous, others might be genuinely happy for her. Some might not care a hoot either

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

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

    Yes. One at a time. Rome wasn't built in a day. And do be a great listener. I have been in your situation and it does hurt. But I didn't leave a job I loved just because I felt not much a part of...

    My dad died yesterday

    Kooky Korky replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm so sorry about your father, MHDNurse. Even thought we expect to lose our parents, we suffer when they pass. I pray that you find strength and comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Try not to...

    Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

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

    Isn't Nursing tasks plus knowledge? Certainly there are tasks to learn, to master. Nursing professionally includes understanding why we do what we do, why the docs order certain meds and...

    Many nurses do not chart?

    Kooky Korky replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    time mismanagement is not always the problem. There's only so much that can be managed in a given amount of time. OP, chart shorter narratives if you chart narratives at all. Chart only for...

    PVC's, APC's No Treatment?

    Kooky Korky posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    We used to give Lidocaine for VPC's, especially if there was bigeminy, trigeminy, or even more frequent ectopy. I don't remember too much concern over APC's unless someone was in flutter and O2 was...

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

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

    I guess the person who has never done bedside care would not be teaching skills. I agree, that would not be a good idea. But he could teach theory/lecture. Or History of...

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

    You give me hope for the future of the person I'm writing about. What is a nurse navigator? What is a Flolan pump?

    why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    Kooky Korky replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it's a matter of persistence and of not expecting other nurses to lead the way. It's being willing to take the lead, to stand up and keep standing. Again - not expecting someone else to lead...

    most non-caring branch of nursing

    Kooky Korky replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    And you don't have to deal with family members. Nor must you get to know patients. A lot of nurses thrive on getting to know them, of course, but some don't like that. If you don't, the OR is a...
