    Confused

    Kooky Korky replied to jenal77's topic in Emergency

    Kooky Korky replied to Sadie2016's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what jerks that doctor and manager are! I don't think I'd say anything to either of them. Just begin charting the VS you obtain and notify the doctor if you get abnormal VS. I'm wondering if...

    lying about clinical hours

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

    Do it anonymously. Don't say you're an NP or his coworker. You could be his girlfriend or buddy or just someone he was telling this to at a party, his neighbor, whoever. What is the law for student...

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

    You are part of the problem, astrn. You know you are doing wrong but don't want to get the student in trouble, don't want to get fired, don't know who to contact at the school (you do know who to...

    If you are supposed to not take photos under any circumstances but you do suspect abuse, it seems you should call police and DFS to immediately come and take pictures. Does your policy address this?...

    Communication Discrimination

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

    No offense meant, but it really is hard for me sometimes to listen to, for example, the BBC news programs. Or hearing the royals quoted. It's just hard to understand sometimes. As I'm sure it must...

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

    What is it like to be a Public Health Nurse

    Kooky Korky replied to thugnish's topic in Public, Community Health

    I don't know how public health operates in India but I can share some information on how it is in the US. First off, though, look at Mother Teresa. She operated under the Order (of nuns) she was...

    Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    Kooky Korky replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Read the fine print. See if there's some loophole. Keep written track of where you apply, when, who interviewed you, reasons you did not get hired. If you can show that you have been making a good...

    Night shift and mandatory meetings

    Kooky Korky replied to aprilrazz's topic in General Nursing

    The easy answer is for them to hold the same meetings twice or more. Once at the end of Night shift for Night and Day staff, once at the end of Day shift for Day and Evening staff. Also, the...

    Kooky Korky replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    1 diverting nurse every month sounds awfully high to me. Maybe I was just naive, but I never heard of nurses diverting meds before fairly
