    No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Kooky Korky replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Is it right, as in ethical? Probably not. But you have to understand that they are looking out for themselves, for the organization. And maybe pointing out to a boss that someone has bad-mouthed...

    Advice for a New Burn ICU Nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to RNthenDoc's topic in Burn

    The burn unit is why I didn't go into Peds. I couldn't deal with kids in such agonizing pain. Somehow I had gotten the idea that general anesthesia was being used for dressing changes in this modern...

    Female patients at risk because of male patient?

    Kooky Korky replied to Major_Mira's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Unfortunately, you have openly complained about this monster. Yes, I know he's a patient and has an illness and he was probably a perfect gentleman when in his right mind, but that doesn't negate the...

    When You Receive a Warning at Work

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

    You really don't know who was asked anything and who wasn't. A lot of coworkers would not admit that they were questioned, they don't want to get involved. Nurse Beth, as for the famous, "It has...

    Kooky Korky replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    Yorker, I am at a loss in trying to understand what happened and why. Could you maybe start at the beginning and explain a little more about the situation so I can follow you.

    Are We Still Holding Back Baby's Head?

    Kooky Korky replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Someone uses the towel to literally keep the baby's head or other presenting part from delivering. You wouldn't really need a towel. You could use your hand or a lap sponge or whatever would give...

    Not only archaic but vicious and arrogant. As you said, look at Rosemary Kennedy. We can only guess how many other lives have been damaged by this insane

    Research patient or see patient first?

    Kooky Korky replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    I like to see my pts as soon as possible. Right off the bat, I know their gross neuro status, what IV is infusing and how fast, what's the O2 setting, are call light, kleenex, etc. in reach? I can...

    Is hospital nursing an unbearably dirty job?

    Kooky Korky replied to lisaniles's topic in General Nursing

    To each his own. Some people can deal with some problems, others can deal with other issues. We need all types to make the world go around. Yes, bedside Nursing is full of blood, pus, sweat,...

    Could I have done something differently?

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

    Nothing was found. It doesn't mean nothing was wrong. Medicaid has nothing to do with it. OP, if you asked me what kind of pain control I wanted, I'd crack. What do you mean by that question?...

    Kids who need rice have nothing to do with Charlie's case. There are so many billions and trillions of dollars in this greedy world that no one needs to choose rice vs. Charlie. Governments want...

    The reason for their decision, though, is that too much time has gone by. They now seem to believe that the experimental treatment they wanted to try would not help because too much time was wasted...

    Kooky Korky replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can you please address anesthesia awareness? That is, patients who are paralyzed but not really anesthetized, therefore they feel pain during the surgery but can't tell

    You should have asked the doctor for the routine pain med the pt wanted. If doc refused, the pt/sister can go see him at the office or call him on their

    Assigned "Extra" Shifts

    Kooky Korky replied to missie627's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Just tell her you can't do it. You are obligated to work 3 12's and that is what you will be doing from now on. You have a car situation, a family situation, are just too exhausted to be safe,...

    I guess you need to notify your state senators and Congressmen about the rude woman. She needs to know that she is not a goddess, rather a public servant and she needs to be disciplined. I know you'd...

    Med error

    Kooky Korky replied to mommaellis7's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It sounds like a med error because you didn't write it on the MAR. Fortunately, you did give the right dose, just that the paperwork was wrong. If I were your DON, I wouldn't do any more than let...
