    Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    To be frank, that's how I feel when my loved ones are in need of nursing care. I truly do not give a good _________ about anyone else. I know that's awful but that's how I feel. Why should I care...

    What do I do now.

    Kooky Korky replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Can you make a late entry or two in the chart? Do call around for different prices. And ask them exactly what they do to earn that fee. Is it a retainer that you pay up front or is it fees charged...

    False positive drugBelsomra

    Kooky Korky replied to Cassandra1981's topic in Patient Medications

    No, but please let me express my empathy. Perhaps it's best to just seek different employment after being off of Belsomra for a while. How long do you think it will take for it to clear? It used to...

    Addicts in the ED

    Kooky Korky replied to amyjm333's topic in Emergency

    Have you ever made a stupid decision? If so, did you appreciate the help you, hopefully, received with regard to it? Or what? I know ER can be frustrating and some resources do seem to be thrown...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Kooky Korky replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    She IS a servant. We are all servants. We get paid to serve. And we have ranks. And you outrank her. She needs to learn to respect your rank and know her own rank. That will never happen, not...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    Kooky Korky replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    In today's world, you should always have a witness, especially when someone of the opposite gender is involved. Try to be on the cameras that are absolutely ubiquitous these days. Don't ever block...

    C Section Post-Op Rx

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

    C Section Post-Op Rx

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

    I think the staff were trying to make the Toradol work, didn't want to have to sign out narcs, don't know why else they'd deprive her of adequate pain Rx, unless they were diverting. Or maybe they...

    C Section Post-Op Rx

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

    It sounds a little barbaric. Or did you feel your pain was adequately treated? Did you have people to help you? Family? Friend? Not just crazy busy

    C Section Post-Op Rx

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

    Kooky Korky replied to jfrederickson80's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Case Study

    Kooky Korky replied to ruby_jane's topic in School
