    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Kooky Korky replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Vietnam ended more than 40 years ago. It was only 2 years ago, though, that the remains of one of our USAF pilots, my friend's brother, was allowed to be brought home. For more than four decades,...

    It's just anaphylaxis

    Kooky Korky replied to it'snotatumor's topic in School

    Didn't know you could buy epinephrine OTC. Or that it was right to ask hospital nurses to steal it and give it to you because parents are too irresponsible to supply epipens for their own

    Thanks for the info. It just occurred to me that 4/20 might be Hitler's BD. Is it? Is there any relevance to

    How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    Kooky Korky replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    This does explain why you are in trouble. I'm sure you meant well re: the computer program and "everyone's" frustrations with it, and re: your smelly patient. But you see where honesty gets you....

    Brave or just stupid?

    Kooky Korky replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OP, have you considered going to Medical school? Just because your father discouraged you before does not mean you couldn't achieve becoming a doctor now. What area do you see yourself working in if...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    Kooky Korky replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    What does 4/20 mean? Edibles? Please translate for us oldies. OP, I understand your worry for patient safety, but if your Charge is aware of your concerns and has taken steps to follow up on them,...

    Sticky situation?

    Kooky Korky replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wish I could help you but there's no way to know which is best. From my own experience, I'd say to disclose the other offer to each interviewer. They might know anyway because HR might have told...

    OP, sit down and list all the different areas in which a nurse can work, including advanced practice and some far out things like cruise ship nursing or a hospital in Saudi Arabia or joining the...

    Desperately need advice!

    Kooky Korky replied to Ridereee's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would not advise going to Psych if what you really want is ER or Med/Surg. Once you go to Psych, you are going to pretty much stop acquiring new and stronger Med/Surg skills. You'll still do some...

    Break Relief RN

    Kooky Korky replied to nwnikki's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I did it in the OR, first for circulators' potty breaks and then for their lunches. Worked nicely. Guess it will be good in M/S also. At least they're trying to give everyone a break and lunch....

    Overtime d/t short staffed

    Kooky Korky replied to nursing4321's topic in General Nursing

    You are in an abusive job. Management knows you guys will cover their intentional staffing shortages. So if you don't want OT, just say no. Be prepared for some wicked responses on the part of...

    Not All Nurses Eat Their Young...

    Kooky Korky replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that there are at least half a dozen nurses who come to mind immediately as having been nice, willing to teach, and decent. Unfortunately, I have tended to dwell on the evil wenches I've...
