    Why so many negative nurses in the field?

    Kooky Korky replied to Nursey916's topic in General Nursing

    It's a lot of work, a terrible toll on one's energy, to not let negative Neds and Nellies drag one down. Some people are more sensitive to negativity than others are, perhaps. Maybe you have been...

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

    If women want birth control, is anything stopping them from having it? If their employer doesn't pay for it, a woman can work her budget so that she can pay for it herself. Should Viagra be covered?...

    Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Lindsey - the pill remaining in the bubble pack from a few days ago did not, apparently, cause any harm by being missed. Why waste your time writing it up? Why get a reputation for being the one who...

    Conflict with fellow nurse regarding Dilaudid administration, please help!

    Kooky Korky replied to NYCRN21's topic in Pain Management

    When did the doctor see the patient? While he was screaming? Hours before? Did the Supervisor hear the screaming? How much experience does she have? Was the BP ever rechecked? It's hard to believe...

    Under the Covers: My Experience With Post-op Pain Control

    Kooky Korky replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    It's a "monkey see, monkey do" type thing. It's ignorance (yes, doctors, nurses, therapists, etc. can be ignorant.) It's lack of personally having experienced what your son or others patients are...

    Kooky Korky replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

    Don't sound off to any higher up's just yet. Just give your notice, once you've got another job. Go to the Director of HR in person - forget email, calls, etc. - and get that insurance...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    Kooky Korky replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    Sitting next to a woman on a plane doesn't come up to the level of doing personal care on a female patient IMHO. But hey

    Are most new grad RN preceptors like this on the first day?

    Kooky Korky replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    He sounds like kind of a jerk, although you did manage to work fast enough and, presumably, fast enough to get done early your very first day on the job, even though you were unfamiliar with the...

    Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First you should speak to the nurse involved and give that person a chance to correct it/report it, don't you

    Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I generally don't know if another nurse has erred, but I see how, in a situation like this, I would know. OP, how did you know about your coworker's errors? Who ratted you out? Who announced that you...

    I respectfully disagree that controlling women is the real impetus behind opposition to AB's everywhere, any time, any place, any stage of pregnancy. Some of us really do revere life because we...

    A Much-Needed Disciplinary Approach To Creative Writing

    Kooky Korky replied to judyfrank's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hmm, interesting use of the royal "we", when only 1 author is listed. Do you mean "disciplinary" or "disciplined"? Different isn't always better but there is some food for thought

    Need advice on a schedule conflict

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseLove01's topic in General Nursing

    Naturally, HR will tell you you can't vary the Orientation at all. However, HR will likely not be doing the whole Orientation. Some will be done by Nursing, some by other departments. I think it...

    Can I be fired for refusing PPD during pregnancy?

    Kooky Korky replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Nursing

    If you have had previous reactions to being tested, please don't let them give you a PPD ever again, especially now that you are pregnant - but even if you weren't pregnant. I'm not an expert on...
