    School Shootings

    Kooky Korky replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Inmate patients- keeping the guard happy too

    Kooky Korky replied to angiebelle440's topic in General Nursing

    Catch 22 situation

    Kooky Korky replied to RRRNNN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    If you think she has a UTI, get it treated without the C&S. Or find another way to get it. Maybe what she really has is pneumonia and the Rx for that will also cover UTI. All the people who are...

    Catch 22 situation

    Kooky Korky replied to RRRNNN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Nurses with children always go home early?

    Kooky Korky replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing
