    This incompetent, non-collegial dinosaur needs to go. Get your Sup involved, she has to get the Chief of the service, Admin, logs must be kept with all of these examples, and he must be shown the...

    Speaking more than one language

    Kooky Korky replied to wayemika's topic in Advanced Practice

    I get paid for being bilingual. Hopefully, you will get paid extra, too. One thing about interpreting for others - they seem to think that being paid makes it fine for me to spend a lot of time...

    Can you work as a Pre op nurse with an ADN degree instead of BSN?

    Kooky Korky replied to Rocio8809's topic in PACU

    PACU = Recovery Room = Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (after surgery) However, lots of places locate Pre--OP physically in the Recovery Room. Pre-Op = start the IV, get the History, make sure pt is...

    Heartbroken (long winded-sorry!)

    Kooky Korky replied to Fatsacktommy's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry things are kind of rough for you at this point, but you will hopefully have a better life arrangement soon. Don't tell all of your personal stuff at work or on here. You don't really know...

    To the nurse who was belittling and condescending to me today

    Kooky Korky replied to Wherearethelandmarks's topic in General Nursing

    She had not been informed about the prune juice. That's why the rudeness was not only hurtful but doubly so - because of the unfairness of it. OP - what was your response to this rude

    Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    Kooky Korky replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Kooky Korky replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    But you knew you were dealing with convicts, inmates, prisoners, and the accused who were awaiting trial. That way you knew to take precautions - be courteous and give proper care, but don't share...

    Kooky Korky replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are so trusting. The system doesn't always work nearly as efficiently as you seem to think it does. Don't you ever watch Law and Order or Blue Bloods? The Parole and Probation officers have so...

    Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Kooky Korky replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    They should do their googling at home, not at work. It is appropriate to inform the next nurse that a pt has an ankle bracelet and the reason for it, if known. For people who don't normally work...

    MD was angry I questioned him.

    Kooky Korky replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I'd have done differently (in addition to all that you did) is I'd have called my Supervisor/Manager and made that person aware that this doctor wasn't returning your calls and that the...

    Kooky Korky replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    You could be wrong in what you think you see or feel. OP does not deserve the bashing she's been getting. She is right to be concerned about this patient, for whom she has cared on 2 previous...
